Was the bus trip just a single outing ?

Were you regularly travelling in the area ?

On this visit to Israel it was a single outing. Last time I was here (7 years ago) I was there all the time. Hebron that is, not Bethlehem.

I ain't back yet. When I said "just got back" I meant to my home base on this trip - Jerusalem. I'm going back to the states tommorow morning. :)

Were you scared? I would be. Although Iraq right now is a lot worse.

No, not really. We had an army escort this time also, so it made you feel safer. Keep in mind that I served in the military in that area about 8 years ago. I was scared sh|tless then.

Hey ThePresence, do you know many/any IT workers in J'lem ?

I can think of one guy off the top of my head... I think the IT market here is really tough, but I'm not really sure.
