Israel Trip - 30th Oct to 4th Nov 2009


My first overseas assignment, Israel. I stayed in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv (last picture along the coast) over 6 days.

The first day was more of logistics and planning of the presentation slides. We had our board meeting at Jerusalem on the 2nd day. We took a tour of the old city after the meeting. The tour was interesting and informative with the guide sharing with us the history behind the city and cited quotes from the Bible with respect to the places we were at.

On the 3rd day, we travelled to Tel Aviv. We visited my Israeli colleague, Shirley's office and proceeded to visit some companies. We had dinner at Shirley's place and met her family. The last few days' activities were the writing of the minutes and meeting more companies.

Unfortunately, I did not visit many places during my trip, though I visited the most historical one. I look forward to my next trip in around August 2010. Hopefully I can get a day off to visit more places then. =)
