Israel : Dream of the Future
As a small westernized country tacked onto the geopolitical map of the Near East, Israel has always had to fight. For its existence, first of all, then for its defence and its development. The region’s history is steeped in incredible wealth, having been a crossroads for major civilizations, leading religions and major commercial and cultural currents that have nurtured the European, Arabic and Asian worlds. Pierre Brouwers has scoured a land made rich by intensive immigration and a land of amazing vitality. He shows us a country that grants extreme importance to the past and is ever keen to shape its future.

10 Things Not to Do in Poland
Get more Tips here!
There are an almost endless number of reasons to visit Poland. Poland is home to 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the food is incredible, and the history is gripping. It’s cheap, too. Of course, it’s possible to get into some trouble. If you want to keep the locals happy, and make sure you hit all the right hot spots, follow these NOT to do.
1. Don’t Check Your Inhibitions at the Door
Use good judgement, avoid poorer areas after dark, and think twice before you go home with any strangers. That being said, Poland still has a very low crime rate overall, so you should be safe.
2. Don’t Leave Without Checking the Weather
Obviously, the weather in Poland is different depending on the season, but you should be aware that the temperatures in the country can swing to the extremes with ease. Plan ahead. You’ve been warned.
3. Don’t Skip Dessert
Polish cuisine is pretty mouth-watering as a whole, but even if you don't indulge in the odd pastry or two, break that rule for Polish dessert. Every one of your senses will thank you.
4. Don’t Be a Jerk to the Locals
Lots of countries have a reputation for their friendly locals. The Poles take it to a new level. If you end up chatting with someone too long, you might find yourself invited over for dinner (which you probably shouldn’t pass up).
5. Don’t Forget About Krakow
You’ll probably fly into Warsaw, which can easily serve as a base of operations for your trip. Thanks to the city’s vibrant thrum, you can find yourself enamored for days. If you stick around the capital city, however, you’ll be missing out on storied Krakow, which is like a storybook village come to life.
6. Don’t Jaywalk
In some other countries, it might not be that big a deal to cross the street anywhere it seems convenient. In Poland, you might get slapped with a 500zł fine. If you want to shell out the $136 US to cover it, then cross the street freely. Otherwise, cross at the appointed intersections.
7. Don’t Forget that Pickpockets Are a Thing
In areas where a lot of tourists congregate, your odds increase that a pickpocket is lurking around. If you leave your goods unattended, they will get ripped off. Just keep a hand on your souvenirs and an eye on your wallet while you’re taking in Poland’s sights.
8. Don’t Travel in Unlicensed Taxis
If you’re in Krakow or Warsaw, make sure that you only catch a ride with taxis that display both the company name and the phone number on the top of the cab. You should also make sure the cabbie’s license number is displayed, that the meter works and it’s used.
9. Don’t Drink (Too Much)
You should absolutely check out the beers and vodkas that Poland has to offer, because they’re world class. Even better, craft beer has seen a huge resurgence in the country, which means there are different drinks in every corner of the country. Enjoy! But, you know, responsibly and stuff.
10. Don’t Leave Without Visiting at Least One UNESCO World Heritage Site
Krakow’s Historic Center. Auschwitz. Białowieza Forest. Warsaw’s Historic Center. The Medieval Town of Toruń. The Dual Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica. Centennial Hall in Wrocław. The place has a lot of cherished history. So much so that you can only miss it if you’re actively trying.

Visit Jordan
By the beginning of the Iron Age Amman had become the capital of the Ammonites, referred to in the Bible, and was called Rabbath-Ammon. It was here that King David of Israel killed Uriah the Hittite. Fortress towers ringed the city at that time - the best preserved of these can still be seen today - but they were little protection against King David's attack. His forces toppled the Ammonites and, apart from a brief revival in the 9th and 8th centuries BC, the area was ruled in succession by the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians for several hundred years. By the 4th century BC the city had been renamed Philadelphia after its Ptolemaic ruler, Philadelphus.

The Gates of Jerusalem
The Eastern (or Golden) Gate, the Gate of Nikanor and the Golden Doors/Gate into the Temple of Jerusalem can be seen in the model of Ancient Jerusalem at the Israel Museum as well as the Sheep Gate and the Gates at the Southern Steps of the Temple. Today, you can walk where Jesus walked on the Southern Steps and see the Triple Gates and the Double Gates (partially blocked). Around the left corner are the remains of Robinson’s Arch. There are four quarters in the Old City of Jerusalem: the Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, the Armenian Quarter, and the Christian Quarter. The entrance gates to these four quarters are: the Lions’ Gate, Golden (Eastern) Gate, Dung Gate, Zion Gate, Jaffa Gate, New Gate, Damascus Gate, and Herod’s Gate. The newest gate, built in 1889, is the New Gate. The Dung Gate was probably named for the residue taken from the Temple to be burned in the Hinnom Valley (Gehenna). The Dung Gate is close to the Western Wall and was enlarged as a main passage for vehicles. We entered the Dung Gate on our bus and do not have a picture of it or of the New Gate (pictures of both gates can be found online). (There is also an interesting story of the Egyptian Greek, Nikanor, who chose to become a Jew and had elaborate copper and bronze doors made for the Temple to be brought to Israel by ship, and being forced to have one door thrown off the ship during a tumultuous storm, only to have it found attached and floating behind the ship upon arrival in Israel.) The Golden Gate is also referred to as the Mercy Gate as well as the Eastern Gate.
