Indeed, I went to Israel on January 9th together with my dog Toya. It's been quite nice so far. I'm staying with my mum in Beit Hanina. But because of the German minister for foreign affairs, Mr Stein-asshole--meier, who was planning on coming to Israel, she didn't have much time for me. Her job was to help organize his coming. But he cancelled! Then again, decided to come! Then cancelled again! I hope he knows how many people worked their asses off because of him.

Toya's flight went very well, they didn't even want to see his rabies certificate
As for his view on this vacation, go here: http://waruidesu.bravejournal.com/

I've seen the Red Sea so far, which was great. There're dolphins, sharks, kingfish and other fascinating animals living in the coral reefs.

Also, my mother has RTL and MANGAS... great! I don't have TV at home... But the animes are all dubbed in French, how cruel

I also met Yossi Rotshild, a great Akita breeder from Rishon le Zion. He has beautiful dog, I especially liked his brindle male and the white youngster.

I'm still waiting for an occasion to meet my brother and my father, but I don't see it happening  I mean, it's Tuesday and I'm leaving on Thursday.

Other than that, I'm enjoying my Falafel....
