We've been in Israel for 1 week and have arrived in Jerusalem. This is a destination I've known about and had a great desire to visit since I was a teenager. The only problem is that it is a Saturday in Israel, the Jewish Sabbath. I didn't have a complete understanding of the extent to which Jewish commerce comes to a halt on the weekend.

It's a Sunday in November off 2007 and we're cruising the streets of Madurai, India. One would expect things to be relatively quiet early on this day of the week. Not in Madurai!
