We have unusually hot weather for this season here in Slovakia: around 30 degrees. I`m at work now but soon it`ll be weekend and I will have a visit of a friend of mine (girl) so I`m looking for a lot of fun!
-
We also had home-made chumus! Also eggplants.. all the stuff that people eat in Israel.
-
I`m glad too How are you doing, xBilly? What is new in Egypt? How is the school going?
-
I don`t think you sounded violent, you just have your views and you are not afraid to say them openly, and that is great! xBilly, I agree with everything that you wrote in this post Oh, thank you Norwalk174! I`m actually fluent in 3 languages: Slovak, Hebrew, English. Now what will you say to that and I`m also humble and modest :roftl:
-
Cool word, Greta I find myself often in contrast too. Of course I don`t take it seriously! I`m just too lazy to use emoticons.

Al ha-esh, nachon (-: Even home made pita! The actual date of the independence day is counted according to the jewish (lunar) calendar (like most of jewish/israeli holidays) so every year it falls on a diffrent day. The original independence day was 14th of May 1948.. This year it was on 8th of May.
-
Wow, I`ve heard about it (though not seen it). We (me and some Israeli friends/colleagues living here in Slovakia) had a party on the independence day, baking meat, drinking.. it was fun. One could feel almost like in Israel for a moment.. What was weird that also our arabic moslim (with Israeli citizenship) colleague was there and he even prepared som tasty kebab..
-
I`m not religious at all. After what I`ve seen that the religion can mean in practise I kind of developed an aversion against organised religiosness (is there such a word?). I`m not religious but I`m not an atheist, if it makes any sense to you..
-
Girls, let`s talk about the good things! (-: For example the Jerusalem Cinemateque is divine, I spent there so many evenings and seen so many great films..
-
Never mind, as I said, I don`t love her neither. I guess we will stay friends. It`s also good.

The security situation is good now, no problem to travel there now. I know because I work for IBM Israel though I live in Slovakia, and I have also relatives there. My aunt just returned from a visit there and it was calm. I`m updated about incidents even before they say it on TV. But I never travel by bus and I`m very paranoid in the market (shuk) because so many suicide bombers exploded there in the past. I`m sure you can cope with it. Or take a gas spray if you like (but put it in the suitcase, otherwise the airport security will take it). I don`t know why the harrasment is so spread there, maybe because of the hot climate?
-
Flower language? What do you mean? That`s rather pathetic with the rose, isn`t it? Especially when we know each other for years and we often meet in the tram on the way to work.. The funny thing is that I`m not in love with her now but I was few years ago, when she was with her girlfriend (also lives nearby, this is a dangerous area!) with which she was for many years and I think that she is still kind of emotionaly attached to her, to this ex. But the dinner in the sushi restaurant was fun.. Fun, that`s all.

If you want to visit Israel I recomend you to do it in spring, then the country is most beautiful and the weather pleasant (some people don`t cope well with the strong summer heat). Usually there is no snow, but once in a few years there is a little snow in Jerusalem which usually cases a huge chaos: people are not used to it. But in last years the weather is confused and sometimes it snows strangly enough even in the desert, like this winter: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125106 I have never tried snowboarding on the sand but it sounds interesting (-: Israel is hospitable, tourism is one of the sources of money. Of course, when the security situation is bad tourists are scared to go there.. But I also have to say that for a woman travelling alone might be annoying the numerous harrasers.. it is sad.. but don`t let it scare you, of course you can travel there alone but be careful. They even harras nuns!

I was on such a boat on that lake.. how nostalgic.. It`s called sea but actually it`s a huge lake, with sweet water.
-
I don`t live in Israel now, I returned to Slovakia in 2002. But the country surely has its charms. I loved the long, long summers and short mild winters. It is a very varied country, even the nature: you have the wild flora.. and you have the desert.. I love the desert! You have 3 seas: Mediteranian sea, Red sea, and Dead sea.
-
Very interesting!
-
Haha, too nosey for someone with such a brief user profile (-: My mother toungue is Slovak, I have lived in Israel for 5 years, I knew some Hebrew also bofore that. How about you? Why are you so interested in Hebrew language? Where do you live?
-
Right, in Hebrew the reading is more intuitive.. you have to guess the vowels, and even some of the consonants. But a person percepts the word as a whole and not as several letters, so if you identify the word you can read it too, pronounce it. I know it`s weird but it works. Hebrew is not my mother tongue but I learned it somehow.. you can do it too But the best is to learn it when you live where the language is spoken (in Israel).
-
Thank you. But I still struggle with the language barrier.. English is not my mother tongue you know.. Oh, and have I mentioned that I got a huge white rose from my neighbour (woman, lesbian)?

xBilly, Greta, though it seems that your views are the absolute opposites I think that in the end you 2 would agree on some agreement, or at least mutual respect, and wouldn`t start a war between yourselves. xBilly, I think that Greata was talking about the institution and not about common believers.. that`s what I do when I`m criticising the church, I`m not criticising all the catholics, I have many close people that are catholic and are very tolerant and don`t identify with all of the catholic ideology.., but then I wonder why they still call themselves catholics. I guess they like christmas and find wedding in church romantic? (-: I myself am not an atheist but what disgusts me is the arrogance of power that the religious leaders manifest (Jewish, Christian, Moslim) and that they limitate free will and a right of personal view of people, then I`m disgusted by the hierarchy on which these organisations are based, I`m disgusted that they spread sexistic and homophobic ideas among people, and often hatered among each other of the ideologies. And that they dare to say that what they say is the word of god. Well, that`s ridiculous.

Back to the question if it is right or wrong to wish that your child will be gay: I don`t see anything bad in it as long as you will like it anyway. There are people that wish their child would be a girl or a boy but doesn`t matter what it really will be, they will love it the same. And why to wish a gay child if you know it will be discriminated.. well, women are discriminated too and still many people, men and women, sometimes simply wish a girl (like my sister`s husband did). Back to the question of the gay marriage: I might have already said it before.. I don`t like the institution of marriage but I believe that first it should be accessible for every one, straight or gay, and then it might gradually dissapear from the human society, as a unfitting anachronism.. So yes, I am for an absolutely equal gay marriage though I myself would never want to live in it. I`m claustrophobic!!
-
I am very glad to hear that. I was scared that another blood shed is in the gate, luckily not!

"Kol galgal" means something like "Voice of a Wheel". Do you have these words from the Hebrew song with this name?
