Preweekend

So, as the second day here comes to an end (in some 6 more hours :P) I thought I should give a lil update:



So, the day we arrived was quite interesting to say the least. It turns out that some animal laws had the police very conspicuous about our shofar! They've kept it for now until further "investigation" or whatever can be done. It's just laws protecting animal commercialization that has caused so much trouble. Oh well. Either way, the head police army guy was kind enough to give us a ride to our rent-apartment-place. He gave us a nice little tour on the way as well. We stopped at this point, where you can see the whole city (we tried a panoramic shot, but I'm too lazy to stitch it together right now :P):



Anyway, we visited a mall and stuff...that was about it. Here is a picture of my cheap plastic utensils snapping as I eat some steak:



Some interesting things to note are:

50% of cars are taxis. There are also a BUNCH of buses that constantly drive around, unlike in FL where you gotta wait for half an hour or so for that one in the specific route.

There's more Wifi than I thought. In the malls they advertise it, at the airport it was available, and they even have WiMax (it's like a city-wide WiFi) available for those who want it!

I will never drive here. It is scary as heck. The dividers on a 2 lane road...yea, they're worthless. People use the horn as a form of communication or something.

Anyway, here's some photos of where we're staying:





The place looks great, although a bit under-developed (Miami is probably the closest thing you can compare it to). Adios!
