Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ABC on Dec 14, 2007 23:26:24 GMT 1, Good luck, you will need it. IMO if you want a Banksy then the U/S Trolleys on ebay are a bargain at the moment.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by craigf on Dec 14, 2007 23:29:46 GMT 1, An offer of Haribo's will probably sort things as long as there are some cola bottles included 
If you get v lucky maybe you'll get a Banksy, but as ABC says the price of Trollies is currently v good and it is a great print ;D

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by hulmeboy on Dec 15, 2007 11:19:50 GMT 1, I'm done with buying from ghetto, having spent the last week chained to the F5 button - got what I wanted (McLauchlan / Brookes) and panicked into something I didn't (Aiko - love the signature but the CC print is dreadful) ... cannot see me bagging a Banksy so heres one less purchaser for you to worry about - I am sure this will make all the difference ! Anyway, what is everyones thoughts on combining postage for the 4 prints I have bought ? I am considering requesting a refund of ยฃ21 and having the 4 sent in the same tube ..... is this sensible ?? Thoughts please !

You should be so lucky. Even when you collect in person you do not even get the full postage refund as i think they charge for the tubes.
4 prints in one tube? With pow's history with posting prints would you really be silly enough to put all your eggs in one basket?
If you are around London, why not ask if possible to collect at some time that is convenient for them.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by gozgoz on Dec 11, 2007 1:28:51 GMT 1, For the love of God. Dont buy a kaffiyah and/or pick up that sticker from SG which has arabic words on it and the face of a girl in a kaffiyah.
The officers at Tel Aviv airport searched my bag and found those two items and immediately raised eyebrows, they kept asking if i understood those words and why i had a kaffiyah and "erm... i dunno what those words mean and the kaffiyah is just a meomento" didnt work for them.
so they escorted me to a room, questioned me, stripped search me, emptied my bag, went through every item in there, swabbed every holy nougat i bought, sniffed every bottle of shampoo i took from my hotel, opened every shoe polish i took from the hotel, went thru my ipod playlist, checked my blackberry, took my phone apart, x-rayed the bag of M&S fruit and nuts i had, and proded the little nativity scene i bought.
thank god they stayed away from my anus.
that took about 45 mins in total. So yeah, get to the airport early if u desperately want to buy a kaffiyah and a little propoganda about palestine.
but yeah, the good thing i have to say about this was that they were pretty nice about it all. i mean, there were no punching, goodcopbadcop , " U ARE LIAR! LIAR! " style hollywood-tommy lee jones/al pacino style interrogation, they just asked the same questions again and again and again.
Also, they were very courterous and kept telling me its just procedure. They also reassureed me I will not miss my flight and even helped me check in and rushed me thru to the plane.
On the briyghter note, they had a mean cuppa coffee in the room.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by gozgoz on Dec 11, 2007 1:37:30 GMT 1, My other advice are this:
(1) TELL THE TRUTH. Tell the truth unless u are like leonardo di caprio in that catch me if you can movie and can lie through anything. I shudder to think what they would have done to me at customs if i didnt tell them bethlehem and they found kaffiyah, santas ghetto brochures, bethelehem sovernirs and postcards in my bag.
(2) BRING A NEWSPAPER CUTTING OR A BBC/CNN PRINTOUT OR SOMETHING ABOUT SANTAS GHETTO. No one believed me when i told them about santas ghetto. Its even harder to prove u have been to one when u have no artwork to prove for it and the receipt u get for the banksy print is a bubblejet print out a competent 8 year old paraplegic could churn out. Its EVEN harder when the receipt says GOLD FLAG and they look at the price list of the originals and they ask why isnt GOLD FLAG on it. I had to give a 3 minute summary of the difference between prints and OG and the concept of bidding. I felt I was back in law school.
(3) BRING SOME WORK ID IF YOU ARE WORKING. Maybe cos i look like im 18 but no one believed I was working and where I was working. They kept asking me for proof of where i worked to which i could only shrug.
(4) IF YOU DONT WANT TO STAMP YOUR PASSPORT ITS OK. JUST TELL THE CUSTOMS PERSON. My customs woman didnt even have a separate card to stamp on. So essentially i was walking around with no stamp anywhere in my passport. When they askeed why i didnt want a stamp, i just said "i wanna go see the pyramids in eygpt one day".
(5) CROSSING THE WALL TO BETHEHEM - this was really easy for me so i cant give any advice. It was painfully easy. I strolled up at 7am. walked into the customs, showed them my passport, and it was over in 2 mins.
hmm.... nothing else i can add now.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by gozgoz on Dec 11, 2007 1:50:00 GMT 1, Getting around
I left on Saturday night. Didnt sleep on the flight. Sat nex to this Israeli guy who was being deported and had some crazy storyes to tell so we chatted throughout the flight. Arrived Sunday at 5am.
Im telling u this because it explains how i got around and why i chose my mode of transport.
At 6am i reached the hotel in tel aviv.
At 6am, after not having slept saturday night and friday night i only slept for 3 hours, i decided that it was too much for me to find the central bus station, take a bus to jerusalem, find my way to bethelehem. So i took a cab all the way to the wall. It costs about 40 quid and i tried to sleep all the way.
In bethelehem, u will be mobbed by 500000 taxi drivers ( i was and i dont think it was cos im so hot right now. ). I randomly chose one in my sleep deprived state. And paid him 40 USD and he stayed with me for the next 6 hours to be my personal driver. He drove me to the desert, drove me to see all the art work, brought me to his local kebab joint, went to see this church in the desert and the refugee camp, shpeards field, etc etc. his name is NAYEF - mobile 052-2244962. Spoke to me about his life here, his day to day living, his anger and hisfears and the history of the situation.
He even went to find a bottle of glue for me because i wanted to paste something up on the wall.
Yeah so thats how i travelled around.
Cos i was so deadbeat... that night i slept for 16 hours....

(1) Airport to Tel Avivi - Cab - about 125 NIS
(2) Bethlehem to Jerusalem - about 25 shenkels (by bus 21 from bus station in bethelehem, ask around, i cant give u directions, Nayef brought me there)
(3) Jerusalem to Tel Aviv - you could try to wait around fro a sherat at Damascus Gates but i waited 30 mins and none around. I gave up and was on verge of tears. I swear i could have curled up there and then on the roadside and slept forever. So i hailed a cab and bargained and it cost about 30 pounds.

+1, would have loved to have gotten the chance to go out there, but too many things against it right now... awful timing for me.
