Flying off to Israel for a week – reduced blogging pace (I'll answer comments though) – Best wishes!

By Jeremy Fain, December 23, 2006

Hey all,

It’s Holiday time!

Although I’m French, I hadn’t been on vacations since April 2005 & I couldn’t stand it anymore (okay, I’m French). In two hours time from now, I’ll be on a plane to Israel. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to post anything from there. Not that there’s no Internet connection, but I know a girl that would probably be quite angry if I spent my time writing on my computer :)

This being said, I have many ideas for you in 2007, amongst these starting to blog about software start-ups of interest. Feel free to send (by e-mail or leaving a comment) your recommendations to me.

Well, it’s time for me to leave you with my 4 favorite videos (fun or songs) related to Israel, as a Christmas (/Hanuka) present. Enjoy!

Hilarious:

A very realistic scenario on a Tel Aviv beach:

Best Israeli song ever. Pay attention to all the accents – Poland, Russia, Latvia, Romania, Czech Republic, USA, Germany, Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Yemen,…very few genuine ‘Tsabar’ (native) intonations – Israel is such a melting pot:

Allright, the latter was from the 70s…This is how modern Israeli singers look like – definitely more sexy, Shiri Maymon here:

    Hey Jérémie,

    Thanks for your compliments regarding the videos, I like them too – quite logically. Actually, I’ve just arrived in Tel Aviv. I was in Eilat for 3 days, enjoying the beach and the sea (26 degrees celsius on average). Will let you know about TA, but the city rocks so much that no matter the temperature, this city means “fun”.
