The City that never sleeps...and always eats

Being based in Tel Aviv we have taken the opportunity to get the know the city better and its been one long eating-drinking-shopping-avoiding-stray-cats-and-panhandlers-and-eating-drinking experience. Seriously, you go out at 7:00am for a coffee, the cafe's are busy...and...you go out at 12:00am (don't ask me why)....and the cafe's are busy....not sure when they sleep and work. Or if they sleep and work. Amelia is getting right into the cafe culture, waving at bartenders and the odd security guard who waves back (whilst polishing his loaded-glock 9mm.)...hmmm...Its also been interesting to see the contrast at say a traffic junction where a hassid (sweating away in full garb and trying not to look at the young lass in a 'summer dress' next to him)...with both of them giving a donation to roving charity collectors, whilst one smokes (the hassid) and one drinks a power-juice (the lass) and both are screaming down their phones (screaming being Israeli for talking) arranging their Rosh Hashana dinners.....
