About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse!
ABOUT ME
(not in any particular order...)
- I have no idea how to fold the bed sheets with those elastic bands in the corners.
- I love drinking tap water (home) and Guiness (out).
- I hate jogging.
- I worship the wind.
- I despise capital letters and the use of them (I strongly believe that their inventor should be prosecuted and dipped in boiling oil while african worms are eating his stomach!). However, because we don't know each other yet, I will remain civilized and write my description using those illmanifested letters!
- I wonder why cockroaches will do anything not to be on their backs, but when you see a dead one - its always on its back!
- When I wear shoes I wear: sock, sock, shoe, shoe, but if I recycle my socks (ie for some reason taking them off during the day and wearing again) I wear sock, shoe, sock, shoe.
- I admire my apartment for knowing when I haven't cleaned for a long time and collecting all the dirt neatly in the corners. ;)
- I believe that electricity is mystic, and to prove that - no one has ever seen an electron!
- I love soap bubbles.
I like to describe myself as an easy going and fun loving guy, and I hope others also describe me the same...
Currently I'm taking some time off, which started with a few months of traveling Asia, and now enjoying Israel and being with my friends.
One of the things I love most is meeting new people, especially from different places. I'm always amazed by the huge differences between different human beings and I really believe that every person is a whole world by him/herself to explore :-)
I've learned to appreciate every day I'm alive, and to live it to the fullest. Life is just too short to be angry or sad!
Anyway, feel free to facebook me
PHILOSOPHY
"Smile at the world, and the world would smile back at you!"
Here is how it is written in Hebrew in one of Beijing's hostels.

Music, Movies, and Books
Although I like reading, mainly SF or fantasy (Terry Pratchett would be my favorite author), somehow my schedule is so busy I hardly manage to read anything!
You're welcome to come dig through my music collection and see if there's anything you like. I'll be happy to recommend you some Israeli music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I can tell you, but then I'll have to kill you!!!

Teach, Learn, Share
You learn something new every day. Actually cross that out - you learn at least a hundred new things everyday!
But lets get to the point. The small and useful things I can teach you:
1. How to change the keyboard from Hebrew to English
2. 2 main keywords in Hebrew and their uses - "Walla" and "Yalla" (how ironic they're actually from Arabic! :-))
3. The one body language that is used only in Israel
4. Why in most toilets in Israel there are 2 flush buttons
5. How to cook the only truly genuine Israeli dish
6. Let you taste the most popular snack in Israel
7. Tell you which snack you can get only in the winter!
