Entering Israel/Palestine


Entering Israel/Palestine
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

I spent five hours waiting for the Israelis to let me through. They had problems with my Pakistani visa. Most of the people coming through went the passprot control without a problem. The passport control personnel were all Israel Defense Force (IDF) women, and I've gotta admit a few of them were very beautiful, so I really didn't mind the air-conditioned wait. Interestingly, there are quite a few Russians that have immigrated to Israel in the past ten years. The ladies performing custodial duties all appeared to be from Russia.
From the border crossing, I caught a bus to Jerusalem that only cost 30 NIS (New Israeli Shekels). $1=4.5 NIS
