Eilat

Israel, here I come! After 2 hours of scanning and checking the luggage I was finally there. Yifat and here friend Maya were waiting for me. We stuffed all my things into the car and drove directly to the beach. I thought that meant a relaxing afternoon sunbathing or just looking the sunset. But it was a party, a great party though. My first impression of Israel in its real image. Young, old, girls, boys, kids, students, grannies… everyone were singing, dancing, drinking, eating (in Israel you always get small pretzels and olives with your drink), talking, they were all enjoying themselves. Well, we were all enjoying. That’s how Israel is. Full of great positive energy, there is no sign of boredom, no sign of monotony. It’s work (most of them have 2 or 3 jobs), eating, drinking, hanging around with your friends, travelling. Enjoying in all the things life can give you. We are happy people, just one big happy family. Remember that, Kaja. And your sister, brother, father or mother is your best friend. It’s true. Even I felt like a part of Yifat’s big family. Israelis are really open people, everyone is welcome and likable. I assure you that you’ll have great time in Israel and it just might happen that you won’t want to go home. The food is great (humus, falafel, pita, jahnun, hamin, vegetables, meat, fish, tropical fruit, sweets, tahini…), landscape is fantastic; people are friendly and open…
