Snippets of the many reasons I think that Tel Aviv is such a great place to live in. Sometimes Tel Aviv is easy to love (beach, great weather all year long, street cafes all around - what's not to like?), sometimes it's more challenging, but at the end - my hometown of 5+ years is really great, and it deserves much better tribute than my humble blog :)
Interest: photography, literature, foreign languages
About me: Tel Aviv is my home for 5+ years now, but having come from Russia back in 1993, and spent some time in Jerusalem after that, I still have a "curiosity of a foreigner" that makes me kind of expat in my home town.

... because of the coffee (Milano sq.)
This morning was one of those mornings when everything goes wrong. I went out of the house without my mobile. I got back to get my mobile, went to the Tel-O-Fun bikes for rent station, only to discover that there are no bikes available. So finally, I decided to do the right thing and to go get a ...

... from roofs of Montmartre
Quick post of Montmartre roofs as seen from the window of the apartment we're renting in Paris this weekend. Sure, you need to climb 10 flights of stairs to get here ;-) but the view is completely worth it!(We've found this cool apartment via Airbnb - I've mentioned this great site a few months ag...
