STUDENT IN ANCIENT TOWN (continued, part 4) The next day, nothing special happened. In the morning I moved from the hotel to dormitory. For some time I spent on it to get to know the campus and the area where I am now going to live. I have found that close to the market, several restaurants and anything else interesting. The town is located in the eastern part of Jerusalem, and almost all shops and restaurants - in downtown. This is about a half of walking or 10 minutes by bus. On campus you can see the West Bank and even the Jordanian border. Although they are quite far away. I have not managed to find a shop where you could buy a bed linen and pillow. We find that the hostel is not issued. We had to stuff his bag of things and use it as a pillow, a leather jacket I used instead of blankets. I knew that sooner or later it will be useful to me. Urn to the ancient relics must say that life here is quite different from life in Cairo. In Cairo, complete security checkpoints, but officers do not usually pay attention to the metal detectors and searching things do not often (except in the Egyptian Museum). In Israel, the same security very seriously, although they have at it pretty good reasons. Tower of David One of the advantages of living in Israel are overflowing with merchandise alcoholic beverage stores. On their shelves, I saw all kinds of beverages, of whom I have ever heard. Incidentally, in the local supermarkets also sell alcohol. While in the store at the hostel Alcoholic Beverages Division and not very big, the prices there are much higher than we have in the U.S.. For example, a bottle of whiskey Johnnie Walker Red Label is here $ 35. Although, maybe I did something and confused, so much time has passed. For $ 25 I bought a bottle of whiskey under the name "Dirk", it was even quite personal. Soft, with a weak taste of smoke. Excellent. Perhaps, in the U.S. such a bottle would cost U.S. $ 40. Although, as the brand is not very well known, it can cost you and not as expensive. In general, I liked it. I even liked the name. In general, it seems to me that in Israel, things are a bit expensive. I do not want to say that everything here is expensive compared to the U.S., but compared to what I'm accustomed to living in Cairo, all a bit expensive. After 2 months I lived in Egypt, I had become accustomed to their prices. Will now have to get used to local realities. Start material:
