We met at a friend's wedding about 5 years ago. We met again when that friend left Holland for Switzerland. Both time we spoke only about one thing: Israel. Pamela, just like me would like to come and live here. The second time we met, I was already planning my aliyah (emigration). We stayed in touch, had once coffee at my house, went together to the Idan Reichel concert in Amsterdam. Pamela came to the party we organised for Stephane's departure and then to mine. And now she is here for 2 months. She rents a full furnished apartment no more than 5 minutes bike from our house. She borrowed a bike from a friend who is away for a few weeks. She attends 4 mornings per week hebrew school (Oulpan). She is preparing her Aliyah. No idea when or how but I am sure that she will be here soon. Just like me, Pamela feels here more at home than in Amsterdam. It is a matter of finding the way to combine her work - Pamela is a documentary film maker  - with a life here in Tel Aviv. It might imply spending a few months per year in Amsterdam. That should not be a problem, on the contrary, sounds perfect! I would not mind finding such a solution... We discussed this and more this afternoon while strolling in Jaffa at the flea market. We had lunch at Puah and enjoyed a nice bike ride back home. Welcome Pamela, great to have you here.
