Fresh from two days of work as interpreters from English into Italian Passengers on a cruise in the Mediterranean. There were not enough guides who speak Italian - spoken by more than 1000 passengers, and thus we are thrown for two busy days up and down the bus to simultaneously translate the guides.
spiritually prepared for the company, a day before we left for Haifa, where a friend was waiting in a cafe with divanoni virtually on the beach, debauched and we said yes that Jerusalem has a unique atmosphere, etc etc, but when one sees the sea close at hand, the sun is shining, there are c * Means.
Haifa, characterized by peaceful coexistence between people of different religions and ethnicities, is a magnificent natural bay, and there is a Baha'i temple, a religion founded in Iran which has 5-6 million practitioners worldwide. Baha'is believe in the fundamental unity of all religions and equality between all human beings, and for a moment I imagined converted.
The prohibition of alcohol and premarital sex I have very quickly turned away. It's too late.
to the house of the night - they told us too late to have two huge cats - I brought, including an asthma attack the other, to tell the tragic Pucciu: "If you wake up gasping tonight, you know what to do, right? "" killing " and turns away, wondering if there was porn on the satellite of a friend, and then fall back on the food channel.
I will not bring the experience small episodes that make you hate the whole human race because of some subjects and glisserò elegantly on the flaws of the organization.
But some episodes are to be mentioned:
- Franciscans who run the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth have closed the doors on at least a hundred Italian pilgrims who had arrived three minutes before the 'closing time. Prayers, semi fights, etc, the brothers have moved an inch. My guide and I were loaded with miseries a group of tourists (but the pilgrims were not all good and righteous?)
- In Bethlehem, which is under the Palestinian Authority, Israeli guides are not allowed. Beyond the wall, alone on the bus with fifty tourists, I find that the local guide did not speak Italian and so I find myself having to stay with them, contrary to expectations. Mass with Amy Grant singing. I was also touched by Ming, with his shoulder. Viewed Don Mazzi, but no shoulder.
- lost in the crush of Bethlehem two ladies, virtually seizing the Palestinian leadership: "You are responsible for this group in Bethlehem, I just have to translate, you do not you go until you find me. " Found.
- The country is very beautiful, I'm sorry that people who spend two days so not able to grasp the nuances, it disturbs me the vision of local history dished up for tourists, where the Israelis are always "good."
- Crossing breathless and destroyed the Pucciu: he tells me everything is wonderful, fresh as a daisy, the tourists take photos with him and eventually pulled even at the tip.
- The visit of the old town of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall is running smoothly, apart from a heart attack seeing our tourists escorted by a police armed to the teeth. Concise statement of the policeman, "is yours, this"?
- For the rest: eat the shawarma (kebab in Italy we call it, here are the kebab skewers) is not conducive to waking up at midnight to work rested and at 4 am, while the poor organizing looks at me and ago, "since you seem a serious woman, now go with the group of Famiglia Cristiana," to see people happy despite the inevitable Casinetto gives some satisfaction.
morning, still in bed after 10 hours of sleep, without voice and with her hair straight, we were told - almost inexplicably - that was a good experience.
