Israel

Where people are hard-core, in your face & intense.
Where driving is a gamble and taking the bus is a worse bet.
Where the lowest place on earth is,
Near the biggest natural cratores (SP?).
Where africa meets asia meets europe and they all want to have Jerusalem.
Where you can find almost anything, if you look hard enough.
Where the "situation" is more importent then our personal lives.
Where infected mushroom came from.
Where the rave scean still lives most weekends despite everything alse!
Where the kids have to spend three years of their lives in the army and then fly away to get shitfaced drunk and loaded with drugs all over the world just to forget and get a clean start.
Where mushrooms is something you do in Amsterdam or Thailand.
Where it sucks buying cheep weed or hash because you know it came from the arabs and that money most likely finds its way to the haters.


Of course... looking out the window it's nothing like that really...
Life goes on in the usual manner but it's much more uptight then most places in the world
Its hard to foget where you are in the world and ENJOY your self for a change.
and of course... there are loads of good things i neglect to mention (but thats just because personaly i have no good expiriance with most of them :smirk:)

The State Law Enforcement Division said violent crime actually went down in 2004.

Top causes of death. The state had the second highest rate of deaths from stroke and third highest in deaths from obesity, according to data with the S.C. Indicators Project.
