Remember Sex und die Stadt zwei?? They said Abu Dhabi was the capital of the New Middle East? Well turns out they were wrong; Tel Aviv is genuinely the real deal.
Lemme explain myself a bit more. Tel Aviv is the gay mecca of the Middle East and boasts of plenty of designers, fashionistas, night clubs, fancy beaches, shopping malls and outlets, DJs, women activists, gays, jews and financiers. U really couldn't find a more open-minded place like Tel Aviv outside of Israël. Do I need to add that they also have an anual gay pride parade?
After considering all the above-mentioned ongoing hot stuff in Tel Aviv, Terrine and I decided to put it into our itiniary for our summer trip!!! How exciting hein?! I mean I can barely stand on my feet! After reading my article "Baklavas" you readers know that I'm crazy about the whole Arab look and that I find them fully edible like baklavas, the pastries themselves lol!
What is so funny is that both Terrine and I didn't tell our parents since we both know they'd oppose themselves to that idea! I tried to tell mine that Israel is getting very hot and "en vogue" and that I want to go but they were like oh we think you shouldn't; this could be dangerous. But as a young free-minded bastard that I am, I decided to keep my idea on mind and book flight tickets without telling them lol! What's hilarious is that we are now using the code name "Istanbul" for Tel Aviv and as I'm a terrible liar, I need to keep saying "Istanbul" whenever I'm talking about Tel Aviv -even with Terrine- because if I ever start saying Tel Aviv all the time, I'm gonna denounce myself lol!

Oddly enough, my mother is going on a trip with her cousin and her sister in a month and they're all going to Istanbul so my mom is all excited about telling me how nice it is that she will visit it before us and will give us maps and hints about what's nice to do! Terrine and I are like oh that's so nice of you, that'll be of so much help... NOT lol!
I can't even describe to you that unbelievable effervescence I have regarding Tel Aviv. It's going to be so exotic and so endearing! It'll be the first time that "The Big Dog" will be traveling into an Arab/ Jewish country and I honestly can't wait! Terrine and I decided to definitely go to "Hilton Beach" in Tel Aviv -the official gay beach- and to try the hip nightlife there. I'd also like to go to Jerusalem but I don't know if it's a good idea though.
One place that I'm dying to see during this life of mine is the Dead Sea. I mean Christ it's so beautiful and unique! I've read online that there are multiple spas and wealthy hotel resorts next to it and that its water, sand and minerals have therapeutic effects. I also want to have a "bain de boue" there! How fabulous would that be lol?! Oh and I've documented myself so much about Israel that I'd be ready to leave right away!
And I told Terrine that if gay rights were respected, women's rights are as well. Usually the two come together as a bundle. That's called sociological and political marketing and that's probably why all gay men hang out with straight women and straight women all want to have a gay best friend to crack their back, tell them they're beautiful and spoon them while taking a nap!
The most funny video I've watched that led me to confirm my decision to travel to Israel was seeing Michael Lucas's touristic video about Israel with his "men of Israel" from his porn movie. I mean how funny yet brilliant?
--> Oh and don't miss his teaser ad for the "Men of Israel" movie lol! It's so cheesy yet so tempting:
Oh and here is the link to THE official website for Queer Tel Aviv which is quite appealing and inviting:
