In order to get to the airport, me and gil took a cab. I am improving by abilities in getting better prices... It had cost only 10 sols, as compared to 25 when I got here... (alon would be proud of me!) We arrived a little early and got on the plane more than 30 minutes before taking off. We laughed and said that, well if everyone is on the plane we might as well take off. So we did. Tip: always arrive early... The flight took one hour on a boeing 737. The pilot had some difficulty keeping the plane stable (maybe no money for autopilot?) so we had a little bchila, but it was ok. After landing we found a nice hostel, and got something to eat. We went to an italian restaurant, ate like behemot - spagetti, garlic bread, soup, everything with refills. We paid 5 sols (6.5 shekels). After a shnatz (shnat tzohoraim) of 5 hours, we went out. We went to a few bars and discos. It is such a shchuna here. As a tourist you get free entrence and a free drink. So we drank and moved to other places... We then winded up to a disco named ¨mama africa¨. When we entered they asked for 10 sols for the enterence. As I was reaching my wallet, gil (another gil) said ¨what??? Israelis don´t pay!¨, so the went like - no, si, no, si, no, si, ok! You can practicly live here as a white person on virtually nothing. Cuzco is an israeli city. When you want to ask something, you yell in hebrew and someone will answer you. Many signs are in complete hebrew, with many israeli flags. I need a few days to get used to the height, as cuzco is a high city. No oxigen... I will then go to machu pichu, rafting etc... Maybe I will stay in cuzco until november. I am having a big dillema now, as where to eat... or maybe sleep, or which will be first. Maybe go to ¨habait shel fistuk¨. The hard life in cuzco. I thought i won´t have to think here... Bye for now, Tomer. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
