2/1/2000 -In,(real), love for the first time

Hotel in Cheng Da,
Almost midnight,
It is snowing outside ,
And we just came in,
I opened the window ,
The air was so smoggy and I am touching the snow ,
She is sitting in bed ,
I am closing the window ,
She took off her coat,
I can still see her now ,
And the fact it is totally wrong and not going to last ,
Meant nothing to me then,( and now),
I am so happy and it is for the first time

To Prof. Yizcahk Noi

I just read that you retired from the Radio this week,
I would just like to thank you for all the wonderful time you gave me as a boy listening to you every day in "Reshet Alaf " .
You are one of the sweetest memories of my childhood, I used to admire you so much as a boy .
You are a real great man and I will never forget the happiness you gave me in your radio programs!
Wish you just the best in your life,
Grateful ,
David

Is it a love song?

Sometime I feel so foreign and strange with you
Can't even understand what I ever found in you
Driving in your car I found myself asking
Are we good together?
Is it right? When I Just feel I want to hurt you so much!
Am I evil in causing you to cry?
Because in seeing you cry I just want to hold you tight
And love you again for the first time.

An icy moment in Lunag Prabang

The hill in Luang Prabang 1999, Just bought the fresh Banana milk shake from the woman in the stand at the bottom of the stairs, climbing up slowly with my plastic sandals .
My mouth is full of the sweet liquid , it so tasty and icy cold and soon it is freezing my mouth.

A.R

The story about A is actually the story about what brought me to China in the first place and like the previous piece actually started in Israel with me as a receptionist in a hot July night getting a reservation call to "Top Hotel", a 3 star hotel in Ben Yehoda Street Tel Aviv from a Ba hi lady currently in Haifa, named A. R or in her Chinese name Long Hong Mei.
The next day I met red hair Aly for the first time and immediately taught I fell in love. She mentioned immediately she is American but she is currently studding dance in China.
We spent some time together that night and in the next day we had to say good bye . She flew to America and than again to China.
Because I was so sure that I am in Love with her I decided to go to visit her in China although Before I met her I never though about coming here ,and I have to say that as much as I remember China was not interesting me at all.
I was in the middle of my studies so I had to wait 6 months and in February I came to China.
When I came the first thing I did,( after taking a shower), was to go to see her in the Beijing TV station where she took part in a Spring Festival Show .
But as soon as we met I realised ,( or actually she realised and was very explicit in saying it), that it is not going to work between us , at least not now.
I was probably hurt and disappointed but it didn't last long and I was over it extremely fast, It is very surprising because in the previous 6 months A. was almost the only thing I was thinking about and I had so many great creative plans for us in living together for ever and ever .

Je Tem in Terminal

The first memory I decided to write about in the " anniversary diary " is actually a memory that happened in Israel . In 2001 after my long Journey for the entry visa to China, a Journey that lasted 45 days and 4 countries,( instead of a 2.5 days in Mongolia ), I found myself in Israel waiting for Yu to come for the first visit to Israel, she was 7 month pregnant and we didn't see each other for almost 2 months. Can't write allot about this period, was a hard time on the emotional side and strangely and unfortunately I don't remember much from that time. The picture I remember more than all is seeing Yu in the old Tel Aviv airport . I got access to the restricted area thanks to my mother cosine Rachel that past away last year. Waiting there I saw Yu moving toward the direction of the passport control carrying a small bag of herself and helping an old guy carry his own big suitcase. The old guy was talking to her and she was answering to him patiently and with a smile. She looked relay gorgeous that evening she wore a black suite and had a nice make up. But although I didn't know her so well yet I could defiantly feel her been extremely worried and anxious ,and more than anything else she looked helpless. I started to move in her direction while she was still paying attention and being busy with the old man. Not seeing me I continue to move and almost touched her when she noticed. She was relived and immediately exhaled air she had in her lungs for maybe 2 months afterwards she looked in my eyes and immediately bowed her had on my chest.

(Almost), 10 years in China!

Am I becoming famous 2?

Yesterday night was interviewed together with Adi by Boaz Ard the reporter of Yediot Achronot in China for the front page story of the weekend Business section.
Very strange feeling now...Few years ago I would insist in not taking part in this kind of exposure...Suddenly I am happy and delighted...What does it mean about me?

Am I becoming famous?

Not sure the pictures are so outstanding still it brings me allot of delight to see That I am getting famous :) !

Bridge

Just finished reading the " BRIDGE" a book written by Eran Bar Gil. The book tells the story of an Israeli engineer sent to Angola in a building mission. The book is far from being perfect but is still a very moving book . I felt very strong about the book and the ending even made me cry. Usually I read books very fast but this time it was slow...Slow but with great pleasure.Probably the thing that impressed me the most in the book was the fact the Author didn't create too much sensation and was not tempted to make the story too dramatic, it creates credibility especially in these days when understatement is so rarely found.

Dear Yu

Some thinking I have in my had in the last few days...
I am already 36 years old and I have to admit I that thank God I have a wonderful life, I have a wife that I love very much and of course I have 2 wonderful children.
But in recent days I have something in my had, since I was young I always wanted to be "somebody", means I wanted to do something in the world that will make a change , something that will stay here after I am gone.
Yesterday on the way back home I heard in a friends car a song by Shalom Chanoch and it starked me that this song will stay forever , even 100 or even 1000 years from now people will probably listen in this way or another to this song.
I am not saying that I am not happy with my life now, I am thanks God!
And I feel so lucky and I wish it will continue forever .Still and at the same time I want to do something special, something that only I can do, something that will make a change and will stay forever .
