Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with two locals about Israel and their difficulties. Israel is a very new country with big problems. Arabics and Jewish People fight for their landscape since years. They try to live together with different cultures, different ideas, different religions.
The conflict at Gaza was and is still hard and everyone here has to live with it. When the alarm should go on everybody has to be within seconds in a shelter. Most of the people are under pressure, for example the car drivers. You can hear all day long the sound of their hooter. So far the conflict is not dangerous anymore and we do not feel any strange behaviour.
Katrina, how is life in Switzerland? You feel free?... Hard Question, when you get to know that people of Israel are not feeling free and you know that you personally are so privileged to think, belive, and do what you want.
Tomorrow will be a holy day in Isreal. Simchat Tora - Celebration of Tora.
Therefore we will have to travel tomorrow morning, because from 2 p.m. on no Jewish People is allowed to work. Means no buses are running until Friday morning. We will travel tomorrow to Nazareth. And will not go to Jerusalem because of this holy day - as advises were given that we shouldn't be there for security reasons on these days.
Jerusalem will be done after Nazareth.
Chilling in my hammock - wishing a lovely night to everyone. The Night is beautiful here. =)
