Funky Goddess Studio - Tel Aviv, Israel
I didn't know quite what to expect. Perhaps its the ignorance of western culture, but I guess I figured everyone would be sitting in tents and wearing robes or garbs.
My impression was not improved upon arrival at the departure gate in New York. It was almost hysteria with kids running around and adults shouting. People were looking at me like I was an alien...or satan...a woman was smashing her baby into the side of the metal detector and then turned around as directed and smashed it into the other side. I asked the security if it was like this all the time and the said every flight to Israel.
I sat between two women who began a LOUD conversation in Hebrew while reaching over me. It was quite comical that after eight hours they joked, "one of us should switched places with you."
Regardless, arriving in Israel my idea was not on display but one much different than I expected. The airport was quite posh with the regular clothing and luggage shops, but a huge fountain from what I can only describe as the center of a do-nut dropping done to a kiddy pool. After passing through security and border patrol (which was very easy) came to my host and another water fall of a more small scale. I was later to find out these extravagant water features are frowned upon by locals...well at least one local.
Got to spend some time in the markets, discos and restaurants. Plus Jaffo, which in case you didn't know is where Perseus saved Andromeda from the Kraken!
