Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

Ramallah

During our drive in Ramallah I noticed how different the city was to East Jerusalem. It wasn’t even that the economy in the city was booming in comparison but the look of the city. The contrast in dress of the women in Ramallah to Jerusalem in general. Ramallah was obviously a more secular city in that so many less women were covering their heads. It’s really interesting how Ramallah which is suppose to be the center of economic and political activity of the Palestinian Authority, is in a way similar to Tel Aviv, Israel. Both Tel Aviv and Ramallah are the center of economic activities for their respective states (state being used loosely) can be considered to be the “Un-Jerusalem.” The night life is suppose to actually exist in the two cities and after visiting both cities it is clear to see that they are not nearly as religious as the Holy City.
