occupied and non occupied areas

Liz and I decided to spend our latest holiday here in the region. We've been wanting to visit the Holy Land while we're still here within the Middle East. It was no laid back journey as you cannot just fly to Jerusalem or anywhere in Israel from Dubai, so it left for some fun border crossings.

It went Amman -> Jerusalaem -> Bethlahem -> Jerusalem -> Tel Aviv -> Jerusalem -> Amman.

The aftermath of an Israeli chopper, after it rose over the wall to blast this warehouse in Bethlehem.


A car in Tel Aviv - they all look like this.

abu dhabi air show

I've been pretty busy with the work lately, and haven't gotten out much... Fortunately, it did result in a promotion. So to celebrate a bit, Liz and I went to Abu Dhabi to see an Air race yesterday. We probably sat in traffic longer than we stood on the beach to watch... but we got to see some planes do some cool tricks.

Whoops -- forgot about march.
I'll write blogs once I have a life again.
Insha 'allah April.
