On the right hand side is a vendor selling all kinds of chocolate at the best prices. Even more important, the chocolate is in a refridgerator which keeps the chocolate fresher longer. I especially like the variety of Elite chocolate bars he has. - Guest Thu, 06 Jul 2006 18:15:23 +0100 http://www.telavivguide.net/Attractions/Markets/Tel_Aviv_Hacarmel_Market_2005091127/#comment-13 In May 2005 I returned to Israel for my seventh visit, but my first since 1999, and it was the very first visit ever for the friend who came with me. She works with me, and though she had no prior connection with the country, she decided to come with me to see what this love of Israel was all about. Our first day we set out from our hotel near the Hilton on Ha-Yarkon Street and walked down Dizengoff, past the square, no particular destination in mind. Suddenly, we stumbled on Ha-Carmet Shuk (market), and I knew I had hit pay dirt. Joy wanted to experience "real Israel" and "real Israelis," and her it was. We wandered through the market, checking out the clothes, smelling the food and the spices, listening to the vendors hawk their wares and taunt each other over space, prices, quality, or sports teams. it was fabulous. I saw Joy's eyes light up at the chance to see a slice of everyday life, and the sights and sounds made for a perfect first day in Israel. And her image of the country, previously honed from CNN news broadcasts, changed instantly. Here were real people out shopping on a gorgeous day in a vibrant city. Not exactly the "fortress Israel" image that most outsiders have. If you want to see real life as it's lived by Tel Avivis, and not the sanitized, packaged tourist product, this is a must-stop. Just wander and people watch. - Douglas Duckett Sat, 19 Nov 2005 04:48:13 +0100
