He said: "Teddy, I thought for a long time what to give you as a gift. What is there that Jerusalem hasn't got? It's got history, charm, culture, etc. etc. In fact, it only lacks one thing, and that is the sea. So I decided to give you the sea."<br /><br />At that point Chich unvailed the sign which designates "Jerusalem Beach" and announced that it is to be fixed at the end of Allenby street. I loved the guy at that moment, but can't say much for him otherwise.יובל בן-עמי Yuval Ben-Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990566978902353143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370424186605767972.post-39627252732906594892010-02-06T09:47:53.121+02:002010-02-06T09:47:53.121+02:00Well,it was not that bad.I then lived in the heart...Well,it was not that bad.I then lived in the heart of the city, and I had great love for the city,although I came from the very clean Helsinki.The Sea Promenade existed then already, and that was something that Jerusalem did not have.Now the city has become so expensive,that I cannot afford to live there anymore,so have to live nearby....Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807233749131057341noreply@blogger.com
