Haifa, Israel
Hi,
My office moved away from the Technion, were it had been till now.
It takes me longer time to get here (I have to take 2 buses =/ ), but the place is awesome!
It is an old residential Arab house that was renovated to become an office.
I will explain you in a different letter more about the neighborhood and its history, but what really makes me feel home is the Muezzin, the calling of the Muslim for a prayer.
Everybody cursing when it start calling for people in those loud speakers, but I just smile =)
I was born and raised in Jerusalem city, where it is completely normal to hear the Muezzin in 5 PM or 6 AM from the other side of the valley, from the near Arab village.
It is even more that, It reminds me the time I spent in the Scout Youth movement, the time I took our dog Swift for a walk, all the mornings I had to wake early in the morning, or the times I came back very late…. It reminds me Home =)
Take Care

The tiles are new, but look at the height of the ceiling. Old Arab houses were built with high ceilings.
