- Israel
ALL NITE PARTIES IN ISRAEL..all of the major cities, Haifa, Tel-Aviv-Jaffo, Jerusalem, have major party crowds for partying. The word partying however; takes on a bit of a different character than perhaps in other places. In Jerusalem, classes are part of the midnite groups. The downtown area Jaffo Center is also where the homeless congregate, the difference here being it is 99.99% safe. Yes, there is petty theft, and although it can appear scary, the people are very friendly and there is free wifi in the entire outdoor mall area as well as on some of the buses.
Keeping an eye on the bus schedule is important if you have plans. In Jerusalem, to the holy sites, there is usually a bus until 1:00 a.m.
The beach cities have wonderful bars along the deck, just like Coney Island with all kinds of ways to serve your pallette. The buses are also serving you here most of the time, and if not, there are bicycles to rent which is fun in the hilly parts of town.
BUSES AND THEIR NUANCES..some interesting things about purchasing the autobus card called the RAV KAV, is, you do not have to remove it from your wallet to use it and if it is next to a credit card it will not get hurt, you just put it on the autobus insert machine, and it will flash and he will say, “ok”. When entering the train, you also put your card up to the machine.
TRAIN CHECKERS..are not always able to understand your language or your intention. If they tell you that you are getting a fine for however much just say, ok. Do not argue with them at any cost. They are wearing bullet-proof vests and if you act in the slightest way that you are argumentative in the least bit, you could go to jail or spend some very uncomfortable time with the police.
There is not so much cause for fear in Jerusalem, only that there are areas which people will caution you about, for example, Damascus Gate. These warnings are truly serious and so you should take heed.
Some websites for the party people are:
Couchsurf.com
info@meetup.com
and you want to check the wiki sites because where there is a conference or convention there will be some partying.
There are free workout machines on some beaches with arm lift bars and twists, which are very nice and well-kept.
Shopping in Measharim is recognized as the place to be. Religious areas like Measharim in Jerusalem have many late nite classes.
When you meet people be prepared to be invited to weddings or a meal.
Horseback riding, parasailing, surfing, boating and so many other activities on the beach and on land. Also, there is yoga on horseback.
There are many bird watching groups and ecologists who come to Israel.
Looking forward to our next meeting, don’t forget to get fresh water bottles as often as you can. peace and love.
