It's been a while, right? I am so IMPRESSIONABLE, i keep picking up language from other people... those idiotic idiosyncratic sayings, you know what I mean? SEE TWO THERE.. I'll highlight..

Anyways I am off to J'lem. This is a phrase spawned by jade - so kudos to her...

I am volunteering in a soup kitchen... should be fun..

I have also to catch up with many a person - and just be a little bit in the holy city.

Can i talk for a sec about how small Israel is? I mean us who have been there know the sitch. But people who haven't, let me explain. ISRAEL IS TINY. It takes 45 mins to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. It takes 40 mins to get from Tel Aviv to Haifa. It takes 3 hours to get to Sfat, right up where Lebanon is, from Tel Aviv. It takes 6 hours to get from Sfat to Eilat. THIS IS THE WHOLE LENGTH OF ISRAEL. No bookings, no nothing. you can just go anywhere in ONE DAY. this is a land, this TINY LAND is what is the cause of so many lost lives. And i can't work out if it is the land or the people. Or maybe it is both together.. if we weren't jews but another race, would there still be conflict? over the land? Like if we were crazy christians, would it be so bad? And if we were a state of Jews somewhere else, would there be a conflict in that place?

I just don't get it.

And people here LIVE. they just dont have time to waste. It's awe-inspiring.

I am inspired...
