First impressions

My first impression of Israel, well I flew in and I went to Tel Aviv. I didn't see much there. The difference between say like a big city like Tel Aviv and then if you really want a culture shock go to Jerusalem because my first impression was just it was it was extreme culture shock. There's all different religions in Jerusalem because Jerusalem matters to so many religions so you're going to see people in all different kinds of outfits. You're going to see nuns, you're going to see orthodox jews, you're going to see catholic priests, you're going to see it all and it's going to be a little shocking at first because a lot of these religions require different attire and it's just so extreme from one end to the other. Also most people wear dresses so it's just different.

Once I got over the jet lag and I was able to experience Israel for the first time, I loved how modern and ancient it was at the same time. You'd be walking the streets of the holy city or Jerusalem and you're surrounded by these limestone walls that are that are centuries old and at the same time you're seeing electricity, you're seeing light bulbs, you're seeing every modern amenity that you could imagine. It was just this very interesting blend of old and new.
