My Visit To Israel

March 12, 2023 by Janet MatriccianiLeave a Comment

The best way to visit Israel is with a fluent Hebrew speaker. That’s why I brought my thirteen-year-old son along, since he goes to a Jewish Day School and spends half each day speaking only Hebrew. Unfortunately, I had over-estimated his capabilities, so taxi rides often consisted of pointing and repeating English words with Israeli accents. If my son hadn’t thought that saying “Iz olright, Iz olright” with an Israel accent and considering that … [Read more...]

Wicked Clean Fun At Noboribetsu’s “Hell”

August 5, 2022 by Katie Cerezo4 Comments

Go to hell. The phrase has lost its power through overuse. Unless, perhaps the phase "go to hell" was intended not as a threat, but as a travel recommendation.

Clearly, the colorful demons were proof I was in the right place. I had made it to Hokkaido's Noboribetsu, … [Read more...]
