In over my head??

So.. I've been to about 4 non-english speaking countries (including England, because trust me I speak English, and it definitely isn't what they're speaking there!), and drove through even more. I spent a total of 1 month exactly backpacking/driving/walking throughout Europe and my friends, I think it’s finally time to throw in the towel. I'm exhausted! My life this past month has been the life of a rockstar -- partying, meeting groupies, traveling, living out of hotels and a suitcase.

But it’s not over yet! Actually, it’s just beginning ;) I came in last night to Tel Aviv, Israel!! (You didn't really think it was over, did you?) And to be quite honest, throughout all of the countries I've visited, I have to say Israel is where it’s at. People have the wrong impression of it, they think they still ride camels and fly on magic carpets. Boy can you ever be more wrong! It is very Americanized, very advanced, and VERY happening. There is crazy real estate happening here, there night clubs make L.A's clubs look like Childs play. The lifestyle is not like American’s here. They are very warm, very polite, and very good-looking! ;) But seriously, best way to sum them up is that they're open arms. There is a saying about Israeli's that they're like a cactus fruit. Hard on the outside, but sweet on the inside, and it couldn't be more true. I don't know if they developed this hard outside shell from just living in a country that is surrounded by Arabs for over 60 years and living a hard lifestyle with wars, terrorists, etc. or just something genetic. To me it doesn't matter, I know their intensions are good, and that’s all that matters.

Anyways, I arrived last night and will be here until the 28th (2 weeks)


Shalom,
Danny.
