BONGO GHETTO TRAVEL TIPS, by BONGO on Dec 7, 2007 11:54:21 GMT 1, BONGO INUNDATED WITH PMS REGARDING GHETTO AND REQUESTING PERTINENT INFORMATION
BONGO HAPPY TO OBLIGE PERSONALLY, BUT BONGO MAKE A SHORT LIST OF USEFUL STUFF NOW. BONGO THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOPR OTHER RETURNEES TO ADD FURTHER PERTINENT AND ROAD TESTED INFO
ISRAELI SECURITY IS TIGHT, BONGO THINGS ITS BEST TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE, ENSURE YOU HAVE HOTEL BOOKED , CREDIT CARDS AND TICKETS TO GIVE THEM A REASON TO LET YOU THROUGH
BONGO SAYS STAY CALM, TELL THE TRUTH AS FAR AS POSSIBLE AND DONT SPEAK DOWN TO SECURITY STAFF
EXPECT TO BE QUIZZED AT LENGTH ON ANY ARAB STAMPS IN PASSPORT.BONGO THINK THIS IS NOTHING PERSONAL.
EXPECT OR HAVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASKING YOU THE SAME QUESTIONS IN ROTATION
BONGO SUGGEST LOW DEMONINATION USD BILLS MAY BE USEFUL TO HAVE IN WALLET
TELP AVIV TO JERUSALEM / BETHLEHEM BORDER IS 250 NIS/ SHEKELS FLAT FARE IN REGISTERED AIRPORT TAXI
JERUSALEM CENTRE IS 10/15 MINS IN TAXI FORM FROM BORDER WALL
BONGO THINK TAXI DRIVERS MAY NOTUNDERSTAND BETHLEHEM NAME , TRY TO SAY IT : BET - LE - HEM ; WITH EMPAHSIS ON THE GUTTERAL HEM SOUND
TRAVEL LIGHT WITH HAND LUGGAGE IF POSSIBLE
WALL CROSSING POINT IS BUSIEST AT 6AM AND 6PM- 6AM GOING INOT ISRAEL, 6PM WORKERS GOING BACK HOME - BONGO THINK ITS IS WISE TO AVOID THESE TIMES AND FLOWS- BUT GOOD TO CROSS AT THESE TIME IF YOU ARE CROSSING AGAINST THE WORKERS FLOWS
TAXIS WILL BE WAITING ON BETHLEHEM SIDE OF WALL AND WILL BE MORE THAN FAMILIAR WITH THE GHETTO NOW. DRIVERS MAY REQUEST USD RATHER THAN NIS
GHETTO IS IN MANGER SQUARE IN BETHLEHEM. BONGO THINKS YOU CANNOT MISS IT
PUT SOME MONEY INTO LOCAL BUSINESS BY HAVING MEALS AND DRINKS IN BETHLEHEM IF POSSIBLE
FALAFEL IS GOOD NUTRITION, FRESHLEY COOKED, AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE AND WILL COST 5 NIS APPROX
IF ABLE, WALK BACK TO BORDER FROM THE GHETTO / 3 MILES - AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MOST OF THE ART THAT POW AND FRIENDS HAVE DAUBED ON LOCAL BUILDINGS ALONG THE WAY
SPEND SOME TIME WALKING ALONG THE WALL AT THE BORDER ON THE PALESTINAIN SIDE AND CHECK OUT THE SCRAWLS.
BONGO THINK IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PLACE , SO DONT GET SHOT BY NERVOUS TEENAGE CONSCRIPT WITH ASSAULT WEAPON. IDF SOLDEIERS ARE TAUGHT TO SHOOT FIRST, SO BONGO ADVSES THAT IT IS BEST NOT TO GET INTO HEATED CONFRONTATION OR ARGUMENT WITH THEM, HOWEVER YOU ARE FEELING.
BONGO THINKS A VISIT TO THE AREAS IN BOTH SECTIONS WILL SHED MORE LIGHT ON SUBJECT THAN FOX NEWS BULLETINS ON TV.
BONGO THINKS IF YOU KEEP YOUR MIND OPEN AND TRY NOT TO HOLD ANY PRECONCEPTIONS, THEN TRIP MAY BE MORE REWARDING THAN YOU THINK
BONGO THINKS THIS IS FANTASTIC ADVENTURE. BONGO SAYS ENJOY.
BE NICE TO EVERYONE YOU MEET.

BONGO GHETTO TRAVEL TIPS, by ejvaze on Dec 7, 2007 22:38:54 GMT 1, I agree with BONGO
PUT SOME MONEY INTO LOCAL BUSINESS BY HAVING MEALS AND DRINKS IN BETHLEHEM IF POSSIBLE
There is a nice restaurant in the square called the St Georges Restaurant
I can recommend the mixed barbecue and red wine with dip starters 
As far as language is concerned we had no trouble most speak some English both in Israel and Palestine.

BONGO GHETTO TRAVEL TIPS, by andrewd on Dec 8, 2007 22:16:28 GMT 1, BONGO so you're not staying around to buy a Pure Evil 'Princess Diana Death Crash' canvas from the Nelly Duff Open Studio 
Only joking, hope your trip was a good 'un. By the way what did you name the cat?
