Here in Haifa!
... , I find Haifa a lot more fascinating than Tel Aviv. As I may have written before, when I first arrived in Israel, I was pretty astounded at the extreme division between Jewish and Arab communities. I guess I expected slightly more integration, either ...

The plan

Nochmal nur Tourist sein

Rest
