I could hear birds chirping, dogs barking, and babies crying. My friends from Jerusalem University College and I played soccer in the middle of the streets, in the middle of the night. Not a single car passed us. Traffic was stopped again but this time it was for parades. The Hinnom Valley was filled with music and merriment and now, only their refuse remains.
Soldiers are visible everywhere everyday and more so now.
And overhead, dozens upon dozens of helicopters are flying by, from north to south and east to west, and vice versa. And now, preparations for Hannukah are beginning, the month of Ramadan is fast approaching for the Muslims, and Christmas is definitely in the air with the Advent Season here. The end of the semester has come and it means that it is time for us to go. It has definitely been an invaluble and amazing experience for all of us here in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is an interesting place, to say the least.
