Trip report: Israel
Jul. 29th, 2012 05:47 pmJust got back from Israel.
This time I have forgotten to take my camera so I have only one pic made with a camera in my N9.

Haifa.
Each day there was very similar: waking up, swimming ~500 meters in the sea, breakfast, taxi to customer. Optimizing and profiling their code, walking back to hotel, swimming a kilometer in the sea, eating manty or plov in an Uzbek restaurant. There was a bright spot of meeting
klepysik for lunch, and interesting case of using Intel Architecture Code analyzer at work.
This time I did not take a special paper to fasten Ben Gurion security screening from my employer. Without it there was very little difference. If I understand the procedure correctly I was scheduled to second danger class, and security control took me extra 10 minutes. All was smooth and easy, despite that I confirmed that I've been to various Arab countries for business and holidays, and have few friends who are citizens of Muslim countries.
I had a tough travel plans on the way to Israel: flown with Turkish airlines to Istanbul, had a connection right after midnight, arriving early morning and taking a train to Haifa at 3.53AM. Everything was on time, quick and easy.
