A week in Israel and Jordan – alex de carvalho

My mind is filled with questions as I ponder the history, culture, and current events of the region. I’ve heard so many positives and negatives, and it is with a great sense of curiosity and excitement that I travel to Israel and Jordan next week. In particular, I am anxious to meet some people from the tech community, although the timing is not great since most will be busy for year-end holidays and festivities. Still, I’ve been able to contact some thanks to the serendipity of Twitter, and hopefully this will reinforce bridges across the Atlantic. After all, looking at this picture of Tel Aviv, you’d think you were in Miami!

Thanks for setting up the Tweetup, Dvir, I look forward to seeing everyone. I will do my best for Wednesday, however, if it does not rain, I will be going to Jerusalem that night. If we can change this to Thursday night, it would be much better, and I apologize for the change in plans. See you soon!

Hey Alex,

Our tweetup is already up on FB: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=56449581302

See you Wednesday @ 20:30, DM if you need directions. Hopefully we'll get good turnout in such a short notice - worst case, we'll grab some beer and burgers.. ;-)

Jan, would be great to meetup. Dvir says we can organize a Tweetup on Wednesday at 20:30. Otherwise, let's plan another time. I'll be arriving Tuesday afternoon and will stay for about 4 days. I'll be going to Jerusalem at some point as well.

Hi Alex, let me know if you want to meet up. Best, Jan

Hey Dvir, it would be great to do a tweetup in Tel Aviv, I'd love to meet you all! Think we can organize that? Either way, let's plan to meet up for a coffee. I arrive on Tuesday morning.

Hey Alex,

Didn't know you're coming until just now, a mutual friend introduced us.

When will you be at Tel Aviv? we can grab some coffee, maybe organize a small Israeli twitters gathering.. ;-)
