More from Tel Aviv

I finally met some Muslims (Palestinians) here...
Ok my taxi driver yesterday morning was one.
He asked me which country I was from and the moment I said India he asked me about a very familiar name!
He said, "India! Amitabh Bachchan...I no understand da languaage but I see Indiaan film, Amitabh Bachchan"
and then he gave me another news which I didn't know!
"India Israel brothers! Israel, Palestine, Insha allah....India Muslim, Israel Muslim...!"
(No offence)

And today morning my taxi driver offered me a Benson and Hedges cigerrette and when I said NO he offered me beer which I declined too!
He just threw up his arms!

About the girls...well forget about the beach as most of the girls on the beaches are tourists.
But see the girls in the streets...I wouldn't mind saying, God makes and sends the most beautiful and pretty women in the world to Israel.
They are simply so very beautiful....
I mean almost every 3rd or 4th girl is a damsel!

I am thinking of asking my Mom to stop worrying about finding a girl for me.

but yes they scream a lot here in Israel.
Probably that is how they talk.
Everybody except in the office is screaming!

And about work,
This Russian guy who's come here is a genius!
He's from a company called Spirit who deal with media codec designing and stuff...
He's from Moscow and I am to work with for the rest of my stay here in Israel.

I mean he exudes knowledge in his words!
I am simply amazed!
He fixed 2 out of 8 major issues within half an hour!
He came in like a complete geek, with his own set of hardware and gadgets to connect to his laptop while working and the moment his machine was ready he was flying!
Wow!
but the language is a problem.
His English is a Z prefixed language!
Something like,
Normal: "So that could be a problem and this is how we can fix it"
Alex (Russian guy) : "Zso zthat khould be a probelame and zthis is how we can fixz it"\
Sounds funny huh!
Deal with it all day and you'll know!


And most importantly it has been not even a week and I have started missing home. :(

P.S. :I went to a discotheque and danced around for the first time in my life! And I liked the experience! Will go again for sure when I find time again!
