City-life Part 2

I was reminded today that there is a city that I have a lot of time for.

Jerusalem.

All the things I said about city-life-and-its-evils just falls away when it comes to The City.

The City is huge. There's nothing rural about it. And to top that the best part for me is downtown. Lots of people (Jewish people), lots of buildings.

Building upon building upon street... Taxi's and buses and cars (annoyed drivers). Really busy streets. Almost no trees, except for the parks.

In Part 1 I complained that whereever you go, there's just more city. This is exactly the case in Jerusalem too. But there, I don't want to run out of the city. When I am forced to leave, I yearn to get back.

Jerusalem is just... epic. Young Orthodox couples with their strollers and hordes of toddlers. Old men with long beards. Street musicians. Bagel carts. Falafel shops. Ice coffee...

Old buildings, new buildings, new-buildings-that-look-like-old-buildings. Paved, winding streets...

I like the vibe... I like the people. A Jewish city full of Jewish people. Epicness!
