Old Jerusalem, Israel

Jewish Quarter - Western Wailing Wall

I have never seen a such a strong mixture of religions and cultures in one spot. The Old Jerusalem city is split between Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Armanian quarters. The wailing wall is the last remaining portion of the second temple. You'll notice all the Orthodox Jewish men give their sorrows on the left and women on the right.

Muslim Quarter - Temple Mount

Non muslims can only enter through the main gate, we are restricted to certain hours, and we can not enter the temple. We waitied like tourists in front of the Western wall munching on felaffel and lemonade until we were let in. You can see this golden dome from almost anywhere in the city. This temple has multiple importances to different religions which is probably too long to describe here.

Christian Quarter - Ceiling of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Ethiopianm, and coptic churches believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected here. I still have trouble pronunciating Sepulchre. It's so easy to get lost in the old city, the streets are narrow and filled with souqs. So everywhere you go people are always trying to get your attention and yelling "Japonese!? Korean?! Where you going?" trying to sell you their wares. So it's nice to come to a peacful church and not be disturbed.
