Wandering Tel Aviv
Take a sampling of New York City (East Village), sprinkle in Santa Monica coastline, add a pinch of modern achitecture and a hint of Arab architecture, and you get Tel Aviv. Oh, yeah, and everyone speaks Hebrew. Yet, half the businesses, all the street signs, and most adds area also in English. It's bizarre.
After a late jet-lagged start, I spent the better half of today touring this great city, and I love it. First off, the major roads all have long pedestrian cooridators. Everyone is walking a dog, people are chatting with lovers and friends, playing chess, or taking naps under the constant canapy of trees. It was blazing hot, so I headed down to the beach and took a swim.
