PLACE OF THE WEEK

We’ve fallen in love with Malan 18 and the inspiring Daniel

After we read Daniel’s post in Secret Tel Aviv on Monday we decided to check the place out. We had such a fun night, hanging out with new friends from France, Holland, America, and England, that we went again on Tuesday! Malan 18 is hidden in Kerem Hatemanim (next to the shuk). Daniel is just as amazing in real life, and really makes you feel at home. Thanks Daniel!

CRAZY WEATHER

From sunshine to hail-stones, our top pics from last week

Last week’s weather was so crazy each morning I didn’t know whether to take out suncream or a raincoat. Luckily these guys took their cameras! Clockwise from top left, Niv Glazman’s beach shot(Niv’s Instragram), Steven Winston’s Giro pics (Steven’s website), Meshi Lola’s hailstone, andMatan Hirsch’s lightning on the beach (Matan’s Facebook).

CALL OF THE WEEK
This is what happens when you call Royal Jordanian Airlines…

Calling costumer service and not understanding the accent is one thing, but having to hear the guy count until 100 so you understand his counting is another level of funny. If you want to keep up with the great post, listen to this call with Royal Jordanian Airlines (courtesy of Moshe Koresh).
