"ISRAEL" Israel by Nathalie_B

Israel Travel Guide: 10,082 reviews and 22,936 photos

This is my home, the land I alwyas return to. Sometimes it takes days, sometimes weeks, and sometimes even years, but I always come back, because I always miss it when I'm away. When I'm here, sucked by the daily routine, I want to leave and travel. And when I live aborad I always come for a visit, because only when I'm away I learn to appreciate my own country. I'm a real gipsy in my heart, but the biggest piece of it will always be kept for Israel.

We're a very small country, mostly surrounded by enemies and my biggest dream has always been PEACE. With the population of slightly over 7 million people we're sharing many religions, nationalities, languages, and traditions. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druse, and even Buddists we all share this tiny Promised Land so sacred for many people.

This page will be under everlasting contruction. Probably because, shame on me, I ran to explore the rest of the world before I checked every corner of my homeland. I'm getting there though. Eversince I came back, after living abroad for many years, I'm learning about my country through the eye of a foreigner being able to compare it to every other culture.

Thank you for checking my page and please come back from time to time 'cause I'd like to be helpful and continue updating it.

Have to say that at the Jerusalem branch of Spagettim my friend had a fly fall in her wine. It took a good 10 minutes to get a waiter's attention and then he went to the manager before he was willing to give her a new glass of wine.

I ate at the Netanya branch of Spagettim, the salmon was so spoiled that it stank before the waiter put it on the table. No customer relations - no apologies, nothing.

I love this mosaic picture. The Beit Jamal monastery seems intriguing. You have worked a lot on this page. Keep up the good work (hear me talking ...lol... still, have been great updates here).
