Ten months of life in jaffa (yafo, yafa) has turned into, well, more than ten months. its not just the oranges i stayed for, but also the figs. Wednesday, November 23, 2005.

Ten months of life in jaffa (yafo, yafa) has turned into, well, more than ten months. its not just the oranges i stayed for, but also the figs. Friday, June 30, 2006. No need for weather reports. We haven’t felt a drop of rain since april. The only things raining down have been qassams on one side and shells on the other. I usually take the news in stride.
