Aluminium Oxide Primer

outing

Once again, it turned out that I have chosen just the right time to work here. Each year, each department can organize and run a business trip and. As last weekend at the birthday party I was able to participate in this event. The program promised a truly brilliant day. come with the anticipation of what will be, we met on Tuesday morning at 7 clock to coffee and croissants. With that first bite in my stomach, it went on a roughly two-hour bus ride north. Where we can carry out exactly reconstruct not remember. The destination was near Hadera (north of Tel Aviv). On a beautiful cliff we were served a typical Israeli breakfast. This includes lots of vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, salads, nuts, etc.), eggs, bread and cheese. At a cozy table at a loss for us and singular delicacy and enjoyed the breathtaking view to the sea and the cliffs. After this hearty breakfast is a chocolate workshop was on the program. Since no one knew exactly what that means, this part was expected particularly strained. Once there, it was found that there is a question of your own compositions with different materials to produce chocolate. First we were told how and from what chocolate is ever created. For me as representatives of the chocolate makers from Switzerland of course nothing new. After the lecture, by the way, I only understood about 10 words, was finished, we could lend a hand. Each was given a place, which could be plastered with their own creations. The result was some exotic creation. Some have probably eaten more chocolate than they have used in chocolates. After all the result of her chocolate had packed neatly, it was said again "Get me". The bus took us to the next destination, a winery. Once there we went on a tour of the production and in the wine cellar. Especially in the wine cellar was that you could not touch barrel because otherwise lost Kosher wine goes. Opening shall such a barrel just a Jewish Rabbi. Sounds strange, but Sun Obelix would say, "The spin of the Jews." After the tour we were offered three different wines for tasting. I found the wines to be very süffigJ Some participants, these wines have been tested fairly extensively. The result was later seen and heard in the car. It's amazing how a few glasses of wine can increase the noise in the car many times. On the way to the next attraction, it was very amusing to and fro. The next stop was made to ancient Roman irrigation channels. For irrigation, the Romans an over 24 kilometer long canal network created, which runs both under-and over-ground. We visited an underground part. Armed with swimwear, we went into the canal and ran it about 500 meters. We were in some cases up to their bellies in the water. It's amazing what the Romans in those days have brought concluded. Moved again we entered the car again and drove to a restaurant where dinner can take. This was another excellent one. Influenced by the seen then we went back to the kibbutz where we arrived about 21:00. Conclusion of the day: Have seen a lot done, eaten well, a perfect day! [Images outing]

Lake Kineret

Last weekend I gave my job a trip to the lake Genezaret (Lake Kineret). Once a year the Kibbutz a two-day trip organized in a water park, which lies on the lake. Since the kibbutz has a lot of money, it made no half measures and rented the same throughout the water park. With twelve other "Guy's" I was responsible for catering the 400 passengers. It started on Friday morning. We loaded all the food and drinks in a small truck. After everything was neatly stowed away, we took a bus north. The lake is approximately 3 hours drive from the kibbutz. The trip was very relaxing and offered me the opportunity to land and people to see. A large part of the trip we went on Highway No. 6. This runs from north to south and has been opened only recently. Along the green line I could marvel at the wall that the Israelis have built to defend against the Palestinänsern. Shortly before the lake is passed through the Jordan Valley. In this valley, the landscape is dominated by plantations (bananas, citrus fruits, dates, etc.). Once in the water park, we had to unload the entire cargo again. After this was done, we had the whole evening free and we could relax in the pool or water slides. The chefs conjured up whilst a wonderful BBQ on the table. The hit full stomachs, we then we moved back to the beach for the evening with a beer and a Nargila (water pipe) to finish off. The (short) night we spent in the open. Hardly sleeping, we were awakened by a loud roar. One of the boys woke us up with an alarm, as in the Israeli Army is common. Even with tired faces, we had to turn to unload the morning meal and carry around. Fortunately, this was relatively quick to pay and we could lie down afterwards. After a hearty breakfast after action was announced at the lake. There were canoes and pedal boats available to paddle on the lake. For the slightly more daring banana boats were waiting on the shore. Everything of course paid by the Kibbutz. Approximately half an hour we raced with a banana on the lake. It was great fun ... The discussion ended in the early afternoon and we return all remains were loading into the truck. As emerged from the afternoon wind was pretty strong, it attracted many kite surfers at the Beach. I stole away from the work away to the bustle of the beach to observe and to photograph. After about half an hour was good, and like 50 riders on the road. Unfortunately, I was called then already for the journey home. This article was nothing unusual, except that we have seen a car accident. This applies in Israel but not as exceptional. Almost got home we made a detour to another kibbutz to go eat a steak. The steak was so huge that I had trouble with it my love. What is very unusual! We were tired of eating the rest of the way home with only one goal - to sleep sleep and sleep again. [Trip Photos]

Axis 206 Camera Repair

About my job

Today (Sunday) is the first working day in Israel. This means for me a new work week begins. After doing a lot of trips, etc. I reported you interested sure what I been up here working moderately. I arrived not knowing exactly where I'm going to work in the kibbutz. There were three possibilities. First, the food center of the kibbutz, second in the printing or as a third option as a landscape gardener. My wish, of course, the printing job would have been. The hope was shattered but then pretty quickly. The printer prints security documents, ie bank checks clearance, credit cards, bills for phone providers and all tickets for Israel to be produced here. On a tour I had the opportunity to see the company from within. Much of the equipment used is from Müller Martini from Switzerland (for those interested). This was until now everything had something to do with the printer. Work there is, unfortunately, for security reasons. After some investigations it was clear finally that I get a job in the Food Center. The main task of the catering centers, the supply of approximately 950 residents of the kibbutz with food. Since the philosophy of the kibbutz community, is also eaten together. Previously, the houses each had no kitchens. Today, however, each house has a kitchen and people are slowly but surely to cook for themselves. For those who do not is the way the three main meals to eat at the food center. The center consists of three main divisions cuisine, service and shop. As my host mother is the head of the service, I got a job in that department. Together with the other employees (including other students) I am now responsible for ensuring that residents receive food three times a day. I work so quasi in customer service. Specifically, I'll take care of the material flow from the kitchen to the buffet and around the material flow back into the clearing. I already have some weaknesses in the system and discovered this "WING-Like" optimized. So now, every employee is a full container to the buffet and in exchange for an empty back :-) Next to my job includes cleaning and maintenance of the entire dining room. For this I am glad to have chosen to major in Plant, if I may the subject of facility management is now very good. Well the job is not really demanding, but I'm glad to be able to work anything. That the working atmosphere among the staff is relaxed and friendly. Also, we usually go after work to the pool or meet with friends to a game of Monopoly play. [Pic article]

Renting Farmhouse Tables

bike tour of the Gaza Strip after along

This morning I had the opportunity to make with my host parents a bike tour. To this end, we rented bikes. The people here are totally in the bike fever and train hard on their skills. So we went to approximately half seven in the morning going to pick up the bikes. Then we headed for the Gaza Strip. On our way we crossed a memorial and the old location of the kibbutz. The buildings have been numerous fights quite affected. Well entrenched army tanks, which are waiting ready to fight for their duties, crossed our path. Once at the border road to Gaza, we drove north. It suddenly heard behind us deafening noise. This came from two main battle tanks, which were on a Patroullienfahrt. Since I am shooting in the Swiss Army tank driver, I could not miss the opportunity and shot summarily a few photos. After this stop we went over many hills and fields back to the kibbutz, which was waiting to have breakfast on us. [Pictures Bike Tour]

starting at Kibbutz

many things in Israel are different to the rest of the world. For example, is her first day in the week of Sunday (Yom Rishon). On this day the week begins, and thus the work. Weekend is then Fridays (yom shi shi) and Saturday (Shabbat). Since Friday is the big Base Day I decided to visit here so what is running. Many possibilities with regard to output does not provide a kibbutz. People go here either in the local pub or host home parties, the latter usually the preferred option seems to be apparent, as I have experienced. Even during dinner I was invited to such a home party, but decided first to examine the pub detail. As planned, I went to the pub about ten clock. To my surprise, the pub is quite large and very nicely built (like many here). Watching from the bar and sitting with an Israeli beer in hand, I also came pretty quickly with a couple guys talk. I found out that Switzerland is a very popular country to assess the questions with which I was bombed. With Israeli specialty drinks, billiards and hookah we left to end the day (rather night) ...

The first days at Kibbutz

Having spent the first week in Tel Aviv, I moved last Sunday in the Kibbutz on. Today is already the fifth day that I spend here. The people here are all very nice, helpful (like everywhere in Israel) and have always pleasure "to meet a Swiss guy." The kibbutz is located about 1.5 hours bus ride south of Tel Aviv. Is about 7 kilometers of the Gaza Strip, with the city of Gaza. There is a lookout in the Kibbutz from which one can see the city of Gaza and the entire Gaza Strip. Because of the tensions surrounding the Gaza Strip, the security arrangements in the kibbutz are very large. The kibbutz is surrounded by a double fence, which is about 1.5 meters is disassembled. In between, sprinkle shepherd dogs, which should immediately raise the alarm anyone exceed this fence. You can enter the kibbutz only two main gates which are guarded. As there are several types in the Gaza Strip for Israel consider funny with "Kasam missiles" to shoot, were also taken this security precautions. North of the kibbutz a zeppelin floating in the air. This Zeppelin scans around the clock Area for missiles from that exit the Gaza Strip. Discovers that such a system is, it immediately triggered the alarm and people can get to safety. Since these Kasam rockets are built very primitive and have no exact trajectory can not be predicted exactly where the impact will be. To prevent this danger is in every house a security bunker, which is inhabited. In this safe space to pull back the people (you have about 10-15 seconds for the retreat) when alarm is given. In daily life, you realize this danger, however, virtually nothing. People live here, as in Switzerland, and go daily IHER Employment after.
The kibbutz is a very nice place to live. One can imagine the place like a small village by everyone knows each other. Especially here is that people generally do not own. That is their house and their land is owned by the kibbutz. You have only got to use. For every other luxury (such as satellite television) but they must pay. The same goes for vehicles. No one owns their own car. If a used car, it can booked via the Ethernet of the kibbutz, and be picked up in the garage. Since the kibbutz in Israel one of the most modern, it also has very modern vehicles, which are all equipped with hybrid technology. In the kibbutz can be found further a small swimming pool, a sports complex (football field, basketball court, weight room, tennis court), a grocery shop, clothes shop and a small pub where one can enjoy the Kibbutzim after work beer. From my host parents, I got a very nice apartment for use. I can do whatever ever I just want to ... [Images Kibbutz]

Older Women Wearing Gridles

The first week in Israel

tends first week in Israel already coming to an end. It is time to make a first review. In the past week I had the opportunity to gain first impressions of this country. My station last week was the city of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Tel Aviv is the most modern metropolis of the Middle East. The city skyline is dominated by numerous luxury hotels and banks. The front beach is one of the most beautiful, which I have seen and felt. A challenge in Tel Aviv is the bus travel whereas, since the State subvensioniert the bus companies, the tickets are very cheap. In return for the Subvensionen the companies had, however, every major road undertake to leave. The result is a very complicated bus network, which is difficult to understand for outsiders. lies in the south of Jaffa. From here, Tel Aviv has emerged. On view are a wonderful old Arab port town, which among other things, was once occupied by Napoleon. [Pictures Tel Aviv / Jaffa]

I was more the opportunity to visit the holy city of Jerusalem. By train, it went from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by many canyons. Once there, immerse yourself in a completely different world. The city just does not seem to be a world city but come together in a city of all worlds. The city is architecturally very diverse. About modern banks, stadiums and hotels to get there to see, simple houses. All buildings have in common is the covering from the local Jerusalem stone. The law stipulates all the buildings in Jerusalem must be covered with the stone at least so that the city appears uniform. [Images Jerusalem]

The old town is divided between Jews, Christians, Arabs and Armenians. When visiting the different neighborhoods we can immediately see who lives where. Is in all quarters of the Aarab relatively dirty and run down, you see in the Jewish quarter of the exact opposite. The streets are clean and the houses get excavations from ancient times to the face. The visitor passes through the old streets, which were then built by the Romans. One has the feeling that soon a Roman soldier comes around the corner and feel the true atmosphere of old times. I got many attractions including the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall, the Dome of the Rock, etc. to face. [Old Town pictures]

far as I could take a tourist bus through the whole of Jerusalem. The entire trip took 3 hours and led past all the sights. [Pictures Sights]

Also past is the wedding to which I was invited. The sequence of an Israeli wedding is very different to ours. Thus began the ceremony with just over an hour late (which is nothing unusual is) and only took about 15 minutes. Then it went immediately into a large ballroom where to eat and was fortified in. The Iraelis understand what it means festivals, and so resembled the wedding even more like a big Pubfest with loud music and a dancing crowd. [Wedding pictures]

Letter Of Recommendation For Hygiene

My Way Internship in Israel Israel

This is first post directly from Tel Aviv, Israel. The road to Tel Aviv turned out to be a very painstaking. The story about the trip to Israel, I will tell shortly. The beginning of the trip was in the Zurich airport. After checking in we went through passport control point for hand luggage review, which all passengers of all airlines had to go through. As I flew with them and ELAL known for extremely strict controls, I was forewarned. My fears were then actually true. Arriving at the gate to send me to a private conversation with a security guard of ELAL. This asked about the reason for my trip to Israel, where I wanted to go if I have weapons in their luggage and much more. When the interrogation was over, I was met by another security guard and we walked together in a separate room full of electronic devices that looked very bizarre. The officials seemed to care much for my luggage and I had all hand luggage on a table and remove . Interpret Then they said sit down and wait. While I sat there all subjects were examined with a detector. When it was clear that I "clean" I do not entertain and terrorist intentions, I could give my bags again and leave the room. Outdoor hardly came already another security man and demanded the keys to my luggage bag. This I had protected a small palace from thieves. Reluctantly, I gave him the keys and looked after him as he disappeared with it for a few minutes later to return it. "Everything OK", announced he had and I finally got my boarding pass and was allowed to enter. The flight went smoothly and I landed safely in Tel Aviv. But before I could leave the airport, passport control was again a short survey. When these were completed successfully, I could finally move again. I used this also and have already explored the surroundings a bit. [First Images from Israel]
