How can such a small territorial dimension country sheleter so many different people? When you are there, you are only a road-trip distance to a whole new country, every city you dare to step in. Most people may think Israel only nests Israelis and palestinians. The imigrational rate is so deep, you can feel yourself living in a Babel Tower...Russians, Indians, Europeans, South Americans, africans, there's a huge diversity of languages and cultures, unfortunately not always cohabiting in harmony. On the other way, people always searching in Israel, a most prosperous and balanced country to live. It is quite complicated even trying to understand all the reasons between all the conflicts, sometimes even sad when you face a child in touch with things such as guns and violence, but luckily those issues don't kill that very own Israel spirit.
While on the road, start on the restless Tel-Aviv and you will probably won't have idea you are breathing a Middle-East air. A quick walk on the streets of the 'Spring Mound' and you will have a soundy and colourful experience anytime of the day. Just a little bit east, amaze yourself with the timeless Jerusalem, an all-see eye of an all-time human history. Absorb all the energy, feel the people's cradle and faith, no matter what is your religion. Sharing the same space, Jews, Muslims, Catholics, struggling to keep their legacy alive and strong. While doing this, lose your sight on the golden stones among the mountais. Reach the north and the wonderful and high-tech Haifa, check the Dead Sea beauties and misteries on the East, go down south and lose yourself in the Red Sea's coral reefs.
It's impossible to define the true meaning of Israel. It is indeed, a lifetime experience, that will trully change your perception of life, people and citizenship.
