The wake-up call came at 7.30 this morning: John and Y. are in Tel Aviv for the weekend, and we wanted to go to the Carmel Market to buy food for tonight's holiday meal. Below is a short video of my absolute favourite shop in the market - where you can get everything from dates to soba noodles. The brothers who own the shop inherited it from their father, who immigrated from Yemen just after the First World War.

I like videos of regular stuff. You should do another just walking through the shuk, or through couple of neighbourhoods.

You write about 7:30 as if it were early or something. ;)
Re: Shopping at the Carmel Market
I miss the days when 7:30 was early...
Re: Shopping at the Carmel Market
I love the videos of everyday stuff, too.
I showed this one to my friend Jana today and she said, "Noni! That's my good friend Noni!" Mind you, we live in Seattle, so I was a little surprised! But just for a minute. The way the world is full of overlapping circles becomes only more and more clear all the time. Jana spends about 3 months of the year in Israel, and met Noni because he is a close friend of her Yemenite neighbor's daughter's husband...or something like that ;-) Trackbacks
