AGE: 24 years old (Birthday's on 17th July)
WHEN DID YOU ARRIVE IN AUSTRALIA: 16th June
IN BYRON BAY: 3 days ago.
WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING? Tomorrow (traveling with Amit).
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? Up north (to Gold Coast and beyond).
WHY DID YOU COME TO BYRON: Everybody stops here, I wanted to see
what all the fuss was about.
WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT BYRON: Everybody says the beach… The
lighthouse.
WHAT'S THE WORST THING ABOUT BYRON: The drugs. It's scary!
HAVE YOU MET ANY LOCAL PEOPLE. No (except you)
WHERE'S THE BEST PLACE TO EAT: Subway WHY: It's the only place
for me; I'm Jewish.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE NIGHT SPOT: Don't know, haven't gone out yet.
I'm going to the Beach Hotel tonight.
WHY: To watch the World Cup
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE DAYTIME ACTIVITY: Don't waste time, whatever,
seize the day… and beating Bridget at cards (I later found out that
he always loses!)
WHAT'S YOUR PASSION IN LIFE: Sports (American Football - to watch,
I'm too small to play. I love the 49ers) and animals (my favourite animals
are dogs)
WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU TRAVELLED: a) IN AUSTRALIA: Sydney b) IN
THE WORLD: USA (Miami, LA, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas)
WHICH PLACE DID YOU LIKE BEST: San Francisco - it's the best city
in the world!
WHY: You can quote Bob Dylan, "I left my heart in San Francisco"
I just love their philosophy of life - "Live and let live"
WHERE DO YOU CONSIDER HOME: Jeurusalem, but I'd like it to be San
Fransisco!
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST WHEN YOU TRAVEL: Nothing
IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU COULD CHANGE ABOUT BYRON, WHAT WOULD IT BE:
It's not my place, I'm just passing through…
IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU COULD CHANGE ABOUT THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD IT
BE: No more war! Everybody should act like they do in San Francisco!
(Jokingly) And make everyone a 49ers fan! Ha ha!
