go to the wailing wall(ha kotel hamaaravi),touch the wall,it works, you will feel strange!then go up to the mount moriah,if it is not closed,you will see the mosque al-aksa,the third holiest place of islam,after mecca and medina;then finish with the holiest place for christianity(or is it vatican?),the holiest sepulchre,you will see the place where jesus is supposed to be buried,but the tomb is empty,of course!it is empty,but you will have to pay to see it
I worked during one whole year at the youth hostel:ha'ir ha'atiqa,which is the official youth hostel in the old city;once came a group of tourists asking if is possible to sleep in a cheaper place;and the manager answered:yes,go to an another youth hostel in the area,if you want to be killed,if you want to be raped... but do not complain afterwards;finally,they went to the swedish youth hostel,which is not swedish,but full of palestinian men who love swedish girls

we woke up around 0730 everyday and left the hostel around 0900. one morning, we talked in the old town (well, actually we lived there) and found a bread shop. the good smell and home-liked environment made me hungry. we bought a bread/pastry with egg. it costs US$1.5/5 shekels. we (two girls) shared it and drunk a lot of water. that was the way we saved money.
