Neve Tsedek

On October 19, 2013, instead of joining the Nazareth tour, we ended up with the Neve Tsedek Walking Tour courtesy of our hotel due to lack of awareness of the time adjustment made during our stay.

Neve Tsedek is located right at the back of our hotel, Dan Panorama Hotel. It is the first Jewish neighborhood built in the "new" city of Tel Aviv - thus, it marks the beginnings of Tel Aviv that went to grow around it. Neve Tsedek means Oasis of Justice in Hebrew. It is also one of the names of God.

STREET ART

Neve Tsedek is the home of many artists and writers. This maybe the reason why homes and the neighborhood are filled with stunning street arts.


Walking through the neighborhood of Neve Tsedek, you won't miss this house (Tamar Shalit Artist House) decorated with little scupltures crawling/hanging by its walls.

Sitting pretty by the window.

Who is Anton?

Unfortunately, I can't read Aramaic - so except from the "stolen art work", I have no I idea of what's written on the wall.

An old wooden door with intricate design. :)

Purr-fect corner.

And another purr-fect corner.

The bike and the graffiti.

ARCHITECTURE



One of the oldest buildings in the neighborhood.

Neve Tsedek Tower is the only skycraper in the area.

More than the old house that the tour guide was discussing, this sign caught my attention.  I wonder if drivers get to notice what's written below this sign.

The Rokach house is one of first houses in Neve Tsedek.  Noticeably, the house which was restored by the granddaughter of the original owner, now contains unusual scupltures.

I almost did the cartwheel stunt when we got into the end of the street and found this street sign pronounced as "penis" by the tour guide previously. ^-^

CAPTURED MOMENTS

This was our tour guide - I forgot his name - acting out a donkey.

While everyone was being attentive to the actor- tour guide, I was also busy posing for #selfie shots hehehe. #SarilingSikap


And of course, the tour won't be complete without a #selfie shot of the three of us.
