#顛覆你想像中的以色列

第一次來到中東國度既期待又害怕受傷害
剛抵達以色列特拉維夫機場
卻是驚喜連連
首先是被先進前衛充滿層次感的建築設計震攝住
沒有持有回程機票的我深怕海關不會讓我入境
殊不知海關是個以色列冰山美人
俐落的問了我幾個問題就發給我三個月簽證
再來上了機場接駁車
竟發現旁邊的當地人在說著一口流利的普通話
我好奇地問了他
你會講中文？！
他也一臉吃驚的看著我回答的
妳也會說中文？！
(我是哪裡不像了…皮膚太黑嗎 😂
他說他為了挑戰自己跑去中國學中文
一年後目標達成榮耀歸國
現在當中國和台灣團的導遊
他問我一個女生來以色列幹什麼
於是我和他說了我在世界流浪的故事
會來以色列完全是意外沒有任何計畫的
他說他很佩服我的冒險精神
他也曾經和我一樣在亞洲俄羅斯漂泊九個月
於是他邀請我到他的老家以色列北部過猶太新年
我想了一下就一口答應
好啊！反正我也沒有計畫
就這樣突來的驚喜我和猶太家庭共度第5779個新年
他們熱情地招待我傳統道地的料理
魚肉 熱湯 紅酒 和媽媽做的點心
聊著猶太人千年的宗教歷史
完全顛覆了我們對以色列充滿戰亂的刻板印象
現在我悠閒地走在特拉維夫城市的海灘上
看著陽光 沙灘 滿滿的比基尼辣妹和六塊肌帥哥
很難想像這就是那個被負面國際新聞媒體佈滿天的以色列啊！

I was so excited about comig to Israel because I have never been to Middle Eastern country before.
​When I arrived Tel Aviv airport, there was full of surprise.
​I didn't expect the buildig to be modern design but it was completely new and artistic.
​I was worried if I would get reject to enter Israel since I hadn't have a return flight.
​Luckily, the custom was an Israeli beauty.
​She only asked me a few questions and she gave me a three month visa without a return ticket.
​So I got on the airport shuttle bus, I sat down and soonly found out the local guy who was sitting next to me could speak Chinese!
​I was very curious so I spoke to him in Chinese.
Me​: You speak Chinese?
Him​: You speak Chinese too?!
​He was shocked that I also speak Chinese probably because of my dark skin…haha
​He told me he challenged himself to learn how to speak in Chinese so he went to China for a year. He reached his goal and came back to Israel. Now he has his own tour company serving Chinese and Taiwanese group.
​He asked me what I am doing in Israel so I told him about my travel story that comig to Israel wasn't in my plan.
​He told me that he also has travelled around Asia and Russia for 9 months. He really like the adventrous spirit of me!
​He invitied me to celebrate Jewish New Year with his family in the North of Israel where his hometown is.
​I got no plans so why not!
​I was lucky enough to spend the 5779 Jewish New Year with a Jewish family.
​They welcomed me with traditional Jewish food, hot soup, homemade dessert and wine!
​We talked about the ancient Jewish history and culture over thousands years.
​Most of us only know about the negative part of Israel, we never come here and see how actual Israel is like. The media told us only about wars and religion issues to create a stereotype.
​I am now walking on the beach in Tel Aviv watching the sunshine, feeling the desert sands and checking out hot bikini girls and guys with six packs.
​It is hard to believe that this is the Israel that how we imagine it with only bad news.
​You just have to come and see tbe place with your eyes! He that travels far knows much.

想看以色列到底有多超乎你的想像嗎？
