Tel Aviv Travel Blogs

Tel Aviv is a completely different city when it’s not resting for the Shabat. We should have retraced our entire route from yesterday, but we were too lazy for a six-hour walk. It was hot and humid! So we went back to Dizengof Center, where I lost Steve to a music store. I explored some of the sh…

The next day, Cathy and I got up early to walk to Jaffa.  When we got back, we took a walk through some of the parks of Tel Aviv and also through the main shopping area.  It really felt like Europe, or even the US, but it was a neat experience all the same.  We were shocked to see ev…

Shalom me'Israel!!! So, the second week in Israel is nearly over...and my volunteer period is ended this morning. I am in Tel Aviv again now for the day, and one volunteer Ruben from Belgium and I are going by bus to Eilat (on the Red Sea) late tonight for the weekend. We leave Eilat Sunday, he g…

Once you get past the numerous girls in customs asking questions who oddly try to convince you that you dont want to be here and even suggesting that my friend who invited me over wouldn't want to see me.... it is easy to see how misunderstood Israel really is. Tel Aviv is just like any other weste…

  The six of us rode a bus through the hills east from Jerusalem which were sparsely populated by Arabs and a few military checkpoints - the West Bank. From a dusty desert overlook we saw the Dead Sea and the light-brown hills of Jordan, not very distant. Traveling south we heeded posted sig…

Today I just arrived in the capital of Israel - Tel Aviv. Luckily I stayed at a hotel which was very close to the beach. I saw many local people jog or play volleyball on the beach.   Food in Tel Aviv was more expensive than in Egypt. There was no hustle and bustle here, only relaxation and…

Shalom, after a 14 hour plane ride aboard a great El Al 777 jet, I have arrived in Tel Aviv with my parents (my sister isn't joining us until the 11th.  The flight wasn't bad at all. I had a whole seat row to myself and each seat had a personal TV where I could choose …

http://www.pinklegality.wordpress.com Its me: legally pink, barely holy and borderline legal…   "...I love Israel and I love its people. I distance myself from the religion and the politics. I’ve met right-wing and ultra-left wing, I’ve had great Arab shopkeepers and taken pics for Ge…

Tel Aviv - A little more than a week later and the Beatle’s invasion can still be felt on Shankin Street, Ibn Gvirol, and along the Ayalon Freeway. From the windows of passing cars and descending from the second and third stories of downtown apartments come the sounds of All You Need is Love and …

I got into the airport at 3am local time. Its a bit of a ways outside the city and since I was new in down I got a taxi and just said "hey take me to some place thats less than US$100 for the night". The driver I got had been a cab driver in Manhattan for 10 years so he knew the drill. He was very …

That's it, the month here is finished. I spent the last week with my friends from Israel, who are traveling in the far east and came to Beijing to meet me. We had great dinners (check my review) , went drinking in some bars (check my other review) and also went to see the amazing acrobatics show n…
