haifa, israel.

so baktash and i have made it to israel in one piece after having a 14hour too long layover in amsterdam. (damn, that place SUCKS). i got to see the redlight district forthe 1st time, i think na'im and i blanked going there when i was there before...i dont know HOW. it was so sad-- the red light district, that is. i mean, there were 15 year old girls in those rooms. sigh.

but now we are in haifa with my family minus three. we really REALLY REALLY miss my older bro, his wifey and there baby on board. nonetheless, it is really great to be back.

things to do in israel, specifically haifa:

1. go the the Baha'i Shrines and pray + meditate.

2. eat shwarma

3. eat falafel

4. go to the beach

5. go get really really good coffee (i'm serious, they have it in gas stations..and its WAAAYYY better than starbucks times like, eleven--NO JOKE)

6. go bargain in the junk part of town for cool junk.

7. have fresh squeezed juice daily (man, i sure dont miss VT)

8. laugh with the fam.

9. think of how rad haifa is.

that's about it for now. so here are some polaroids as of late (the last one obviously photoshopped, cos my film is getting busted) :






thanks to my sister in law and namo, i have this really neat-o video to share with you all. this is basically how i feel about being done with school and being with my family(minus 3 :():





it really reminds me of my friend, miral. if you know him, you are blessed.

how is your summer going? is it as RADICAL as mine?? heh, i dont think so.
