I have a picture of that one too. It's really odd how that building is surrounded by low-rise.Originally posted by Azazel

Nice pic, Fez!
Sadly, Tel Aviv is rather two-faced. Traffic awful, with almost 2 mil people in the metro area, with no public transportation besides busses, and lately, Suburban trains. The Subway/light train complex will only be finished arounnd 2010, and until then, the city is expected to grow, with the density rising even more with all those new towers that are about to be built.Originally posted by Fez
Tel Aviv is a nice city indeed..
Looks very clean too...
The future network of it.
and some more Tel Aviv from a chopper:
and from a satellite!

Nice last pic...
Now, the Syrian tanks come from this street..check, and the Egyptian ones from this street, no, that one, moving on that intersection.....
( A tribute to Eli
)
As for Traffic, ha! Panama has you beat. Nice, small crowded city of 600,000 on a strip along the ocean, with NO public transport whatsoever, with old streets that wind around, and getting a car is absurdly easy (no money down, no payments for two years!..
)

Gepap, you mean molten hulls of Egyptian and Syrian tanks.
The worst traffic I ever been in would have to in Quito. No subway system. Extremely poor public transportation (these awful buses). Some of the craziest drivers you will ever see... the city has a bad skyline with very few office buildings. The infrastructure is extremely poor, and many houses along side hills have collapsed in bad weather.

Not to mention a volcano erupted, and this eruption looked like a nuclear bomb. I was there when it happened in 1999 I think it was..
The ash wouldn't be completely gone for another four months as the city lacked clean up equipment.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I envy the people of Panama.
now, it's time for the small, yet beautiful city of Haifa. No high-rises on the pic, but it's a rather old pic.Attached FilesComment
