Hi there,

On Tuesday I was invited by my host to attend a political meeting organized by Yisrael Beytenu. The meeting was held in Ariel, Israel. It was an awesome opportunity that I just couldn't turn down! We hopped onto a hired tour bus & made the hour-long journey.

Mr. Avigdor Liberman was the main speaker of the night. Everything was in Hebrew so I didn't understand much of what was going on but I was still a happy camper being in the midst of so many reporters, photographers, bodyguards and their politicians. I saw a few familiar faces like Mr. Shady Khalloul & Israeli Knesset member Mr. Robert Illatov. Most of whom I saw were dressed so classy that I was glad that I had opted for my zoom lens, heels & lipstick.

The next day I searched the news for the English version of Mr. Liberman's speech & found that he spoke on many topics about Israel's tough situation. He dispelled rumors & encouraged those who associated themselves with the party. Fyi, Elections in Israel are coming up soon.

Among the 800 people present at the meeting, I would not be surprised if I was the least informed. Nevertheless I am very glad that I was able to be present & witness what goes on in the political side of things. I hope it won't be my last exposure.

Anyway, Happy New Year. Let's fill up the next one with positive accomplishments :)
