Advantages: Fleming is sublime, well sung throughout Disadvantages: Live recording is slightly noticeable in places
recording available - the full opera and a highlights recording. The full recording retails at around £45, so unless you really want the entire opera, I would recommend opting for the highlights recording, which comes in at £14 and includes all of the major arias. I managed to buy mine (the full recording box set) used from amazon for the discount price of £14 and I thoroughly recommend buying opera box sets this way - it saves a lot of money!
Recommended but Handel purists should steer clear! ...

Shopping
There are lovely outdoor markets during the day and night to look at and buy local items or presents. There is a large shopping centre (a bit like Meadowhall in Sheffield) which was good value for money.. The only tobacconist was in this centre and they are very helpful.
Airport
When you arrive inIsrael you are processed through a strict check in procedure, PLEASE BE AWARE IF YOU HAVE A STAMP FROM EGYPT OR TURKEY IN YOUR PASSPORT THEY WILL ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS. I had been to egypt the previous year and they interrogated me as to why I was now inIsrael. It is important to remember they are only protecting their own country, but they do not really have a sense of humour.. so keep your conversation with Airport staff very short ...

I love this country. not only because i was born there but mainly because it is what the bible says it is : Paradise. for me being in london right now indoors (raining again) is like putting a lion in a box just a bit bigger then the lion and expect it to be happy. i am that lion and i miss lots of things inisrael but i'll only share one trip i have done (a track) with some family members about two years ago (just before coming to london).
well, i have been in the israeli army for 3 years and learned a lot from it and one of the things i took with me from being there is the love for survival skills, navigation, and the ability to be in the wierdest situations and come out alive. and so one of my biggest hobbys became nature trips (with not too much aquipment and lots of skills). this time we went to the south of israel, to the dead sea ...
