False Advertising

I was really pleased when I looked up the street and saw a blazing red neon sign that read "TEQUILA." Upon closer inspection, however, I noticed that they did not sell any tequila. Or other hard liquor, or even wine and beer. In fact, I saw no beverages of any sort for sale in this shop called TEQUILA. Just shoes. Only in Israel, I say.

Also here: generic Barbie dolls are called, "Romantic Girl." Awww.

Overheard on Yaffa Street (where they're doing construction of railways, it appears):
Dad: They're doing that so you can get the train all the way down town.
Petulant 8-year-old boy: That is so pathetic.

Positive aspects to being here: handsome, uniformed, ogle-worthy young men.
