Popular Nightlife | Miscellaneous Nightlife Tips | All Tips (38) They say smells are something you never forget. A certain smell can take you back in time. For me, the fragrance of night-blooming jasmine (cestrum nocturnum) in the streets of Jerusalem on summer nights is one of those unforgettable scents. Night-blooming jasmine is planted in the gardens in many Jerusalem neighborhoods, especially Rehavia. It is a sprawling, very fast growing climber that needs trimming to look nice, but as evening falls, the small whitish-yellow flowers open up and give off a wonderful perfume. Stroll through the streets of Jerusalem at night and breathe in the sweet, intoxicating smell. But the truth is, the Bible got there first. The author of the Song of Songs waxed lyrical over this heady scent thousands of years ago: Awake O North Wind, Come O South Wind! Blow upon my garden That its perfume may spread. (Song of Songs 4:15) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Dear friends of the russian lifestyle. I have got bad news for you - at least if you travel to Jerusalem and planned to have some fun there: one of the best places in town got destroyed! A Israeli from Russia told me, that one of those oligarchs living in London, bought the area where there was once the Russian Compound with the best russian-life bars and nightclubs in town. He now wants to build skyscrapers there. It really seems, that even for some born with a real soul, there is all about money and nothing about life...! Sad. ---------------------in rememberence: here is my old text about the compound-------------------- The Putin Bar - Beers to honour the Russian President! If you are Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian yourself or you just like the "russian" way of life, that is THE spot to go for a great night! Russian Pop Songs, young immigrants dancing on the tables, Russian as first language when ordering a pivo or two... Its loud, its busy, its rough - and everybody knows everybody. You will find friends there if you can go with that special flow. If not: better go somewhere else. Bar Putin got my second home in Jerusalem - and not mainly for the pictures of President Putin at the walls of the bar. Bar Putin opens almost every day around 10, but go there on thursday or saturday around 11 when there are the first customers but it is still not too busy. Post Scriptum: Even conservative Foxnews covered the bar! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,154990,00.html
The boys there wear usually Jeans and XXL Sweaters and the girls the opposite, e.g. miniskirts and tight tops. But you can dress however you like. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: The Russian CompoundDirections: The Russian Compound
