<description><![CDATA[The Ethnical Center is a labor of love of avid collectors and historians throughout Israel and neighboring countries, and a product of unrelenting effort and goodwill of many private individuals.  It is divided into two sections, the first one is dedicated to recreating a 19th century market place like that of Galilee while the other half is an exhibition center of private collectors whose willing to share their collections to the public.Mr. Dan Hortman and Mr. Michael Luria are two of the dedicated collectors of Galilean material culture, their personal collections are on display which they voluntarily lend, to prompt the founding of the Ethnographic Center.  The center's main agenda is to illustrate, promote and preserve the way of life of the olden days, encompassed in an era at the end of Ottoman period up to the establishment of the State of Israel.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Technically, the city market is composed of two selling sites - the white market and the street market.  The White Market (Shuk Al Abiad) is a single vaulted roofed structure, it is possibly, the first shopping plaza in the world. Its name was derived from the white limestone of which it is built.The Market Street is the main road of the Old City, during the Crusader's Period this road led from the Hospitallers Gate in the North, along the route of the market through the Via Regis, all the way to the port.  Today, it houses colorful stalls selling fish, spices, sweet Oriental pastries, perfumes, clothing, accessories and many more.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is the first entry in a three-part series about one of Israel's in-demand tourist destination and a national landmark that chronicled the country's history in ruins.  We visited Caesarea National Park last Sunday to celebrate my one month-long trade as a blogger *wink*, it was my second time to go there, but I, still, got dumbstruck by it's perpetual beauty.

<description><![CDATA[Penitencia or Flagellation is one of the more barbaric type of showing repentance, people do this for the atonement of their sins and a means of asking forgiveness for past weaknesses and misgivings.  This act rooted from an episode in the Passion of Christ, when Pontious Pilate condemned Him, He was flogged to the point of physical degradation before His crucifixion.  This practice is evident in celebration of Holy Week in the Philippines and Latin America.<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Autumn's starting to bid farewell, after baring all the trees and painting this part of the world brown, it's taking a glorious bow and ushering in the colorful spring.  Spring is my favorite season next to winter, when all the flowers are in full bloom, standing elegantly while sashaying in the wind, making love with the bees, teasing the butterflies and making me see that life is promising and beautiful.One of the most awaited sight of the season, in my opinion, is the Snowdrop, a white flower with green dots on the tip of each petals, it stands majestically in the garden but when the wind blows and plays her favorite tune, she will dance gracefully all day to the wonderment of everyone, including me.<br/><br/>13 Vote(s) ]]></description>
