    I have very little experience of small towns / suburbs whatever you call them. In fact let’s face it I am a total urban jungle snob. But as fate would have it I found myself going to my shiva in Holon. A place I have only had the pleasure of visiting briefly in 2005 when I was dating a guy studying industrial design there.

    I have to say I noticed there were no cafes, no nice shops and all the inhabitants seemed to be either 16 or 60.

    Twenty minutes, of walking in what seemed to be identical streets, I finally got to my shiva.  

    I left around 8pm and after getting lost in what appeared to be a bizarre sculpture park thing, I found a bus stop. Where I enjoyed waiting for an hour and a half with;

    frantic religious Jews and their bags of children,

    Horny soldiers,

    Grown people dressed in judo outfits

    and women with dangerously long nails talking at full speed on their phones.

    The soundtrack to my evening was some kind of live street happening, where every song sounded like the mizrahi part of a wedding. And when the bus finally came, I found myself jammed between a man touching himself and a family of four that kept arguing.

    At one point a soldier winked at me.

     

    I have never been so happy to see the beginning of Allenby; to step over the homeless sleeping on the corner of Shenkin, to swerve away from the drunks cursing and spitting at me, to avoid the feisty punks outside the AM PM.

    I guess each place has it’s types and I will stick with mine.

     

    As I shut the door behind me in my lovely flat, and sigh with relief, only one thought runs through my head…..I have to go back there tomorrow.

      Holon = Evil.
      They erected statues of a weird hybrid between an owl and a cat, called a Yanshul....they're everywhere, and they frighten me. 

       

      the multicolored caterpiller sculpture land park was really enough for me....

      I shall look out for the yanshul tonight...hehe

      You are aware that most of the people in Israel live in such towns, right?

      with their families, and 2.4 children

      go on about their daily routine.

      its just like the farmers of old , only now they harvest money from jobs and not wheat

       

       

      I have to say it always shocks me....

      I had a simmilar experience the odd times I left london for the outside ....

      also very surreal.

      I guess I am just very sheltered.....

      2.4 children (what is that 2 full size and one dwarf?)
