Music to my arabic soul

I was born and raised in the middle east...
When i was 16 i hosted young people from Germany. When they got here, they asked me where are all the camels they heard about... I offered them to buy Camel cigarettes instead...
When i was 20, traveling in Guatemala i met an Aussie which asked me "how do you treat women in Israel?" - I angrily threw my beer on his head and said: "like bitches!".

Obviously I am not connected enough to my middle-eastern culture, because Israel is tryin so hard to look like the US, and I live in my Tel-avivian bubble.

Food and Music - that's where i find myself connected. very much.
Here you have this awesome blog for ethnic music -
Ethnic Blog not only middle-eastern, but same spirit - listen and your soul will open wide...

His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Twitter Feed

The Dalai Lama has always been a great enthusiast of science and the boons created by science in technology. So I suppose it's not surprising that he has now created a feed on Twitter, the microblogging service that encourages very short, but frequent updates on your status. It's not really him keeping up the feed, but it's still amusing to see. Keep up with the 14th Big D here!
