New Flickr Pictures

I've finally decided to stitch my panoramas and go through the pictures I took during my stay in Romania. You can check them out on Flickr here. If you would like the full-sized version of any of the pictures on my Flickr, send me an e-mail at yonathan@lifeofyon.tk (I hope it works, if I don't get back to you in a day or two, leave details in the comments). Let me know what you think! -Yonat...

I'm Back (again)

Incoming rant:After 6 days of travelling all over the country, I'm finally back home. Sadly, I have to say I'm extremely dissappointed - not because of the trip itself, but of some of the people in my group. How can you go home with newly acquired values if the people in your group are so dumb and respectless that they make each other laugh and play music at a military cemetry? Those people died so that you could live, and you laugh at their graves? EVERY SINGLE TIME that we were having some meaningful conversation, they screw it up, EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm happy to be back home. I hope they NEVER start a conversation with me. The only thing positive about the trip - the views:  Makhtesh Katan  -Yonat...

Going away (again)

Good evening, guys.First of all, I'm going on a week-long school trip tonight at 1AM so I just wanted to inform you that as I won't have an Internet connection I won't be able to post during that period.A little info about the trip itself (taken from the program's site):  The Masa Yisraeli - The Spirit of Israel Experience ProgramThe Journey starts with a 2-days hike in nature, including sleeping out-doors, walking alone for part of the hike, cooking together, and carrying out group-missions.

On the next days the students are visiting Tanach sites, learning about the rise of the state of Israel, and finish the Journey...

Jewish Dubstep

So apparently someone made a dubstep remix of "Hava Nagila" - a traditional Hebrew song. I have to admit that after I stopped laughing about it (Which took a while) and listened to it - I  decided that it's pretty damn good. Without further ado I present to you:Losh - Hava Nagila (Dubstep remix) (WUBWUB WOOB WOOB WUB WUB HAVA NAGILA) EDIT: This is even better (Trance)...

Gilad Shalit

Yesterday morning, Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier who had been kept captive for almost five and a half years (after being abducted in 2006 by Hamas (Wikipedia) militants), was brought back home. He was brought back as part of a prisoner exhchange in which 1,027 Palestinian prisoners were returned to the Palestinian territories and the Gaza Strip. I think probably most of you if not all know about his return since it was covered internationally by many new agencies. That's why I'm not going to be talking about his release, but about his capture. On the 25th of June, 2006, at around 5 o'clock in the morning began the bombardment of the Karem pass, an area on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Not long before that, a squad of four...
