PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I found myself watching BBC a lot.  The hotel room in Tel Aviv boasted of their satellite TV with over 200 channels.  But most of the channels were in languages I could not understand.  The two primary English choices were the BBC and Russia Today.  I can go to Israel to hear Putin’s take on the world.  There was an Indian channel which provided English subtitles and a German channel showing American movies dubbed into German.

There was no shortage of news channels in a variety of languages.  If you like watching Arabic men yelling at each other in a language you don’t understand then this package would really be up your ally.  Of course, if you’re traveling in Israel, there are better things to do than watching TV in a room.  I guess they were making sure that I took that stroll down to Jaffa or hired a sharoot to go to Jerusalem.  Otherwise, it was right back to Arabic men yelling at each other in a language I don’t understand.
