Bibimbap

I've been waiting for a few weeks now for the perfect opportunity to eat in the new Korean restaurant here in Jerusalem. and last night we finally did. it was my first time eating Korean food, and it was very special.

I ordered the Bibimbap, rice with raw vegetables and beef, on top of it a raw egg and some seasoning. It was all served in a hot plate, and it's all stirred right before eating.

So low

This is my 4th year going to the dead sea seminar of the ID department. Every year we pack our tents, and go to the lowest place on earth and experience some low tech workshops. I used my cool hipstermatic and took some pictures to show you all! As you can see it's still summer in here..

The Salon

Two weeks ago I joined a very cool group of architects and designers, to compete in the 72 Hour Urban Action that took place in Bat-Yam. 10 groups of 12 designers from all over the world working non stop for 72 hours. each group got an area and a mission. Our area was The Salon - "The junction between three urban situations: a residential street, a neighborhood park, and a tree lined boulevard." and the mission - "Synchronize between the rich physical attributes and spares available users". I met 11 amazing people, and had so much fun! We didn't win, but we were sure proud of our awesome project!

House sitting

We are house sitting in Tel Aviv. I never thought I would like being in TLV as much as I do know. Every morning I wake up and and have the hard decision of what I should do today. Between walking to the beach and going shopping in the food market all options are so appealing. Who would have thought I would fall like everybody else...

Home made ice cream

The perfect ending for a very hot day! Home made ice cream at Roy and Yarden's cool apartment! The best Malabi ice cream I have ever tried :) (and the coolest pez collection..)

Picking dessert

Israeli fruit.. It's the best, no doubt about it. We had a BBQ planned and no dessert, So we took the picker and went picking some prickly pears. It's a very high maintenance fruit, you have to pick it with a special tool, wash it to take off the big thorns, peel it without touching the small thorns and then put it in the fridge. But it was all worth it.

This is a link to our last years project, we had to design the next Israeli picker!

Back home

The thing I missed the most at home was the beach. So the first thing I did when i got back home, was to improvise a swimsuit from my mother's skarfs, convince my sister to do the same, and go to the beach! It was the best day in weeks!
