One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to meet my Ukranian friends who visited Egypt(Sinai) during the escalation of Intifada, when Israelis were afraid to cross the border. I was the only Israeli on my way inside, it was strange. After all I met a lot of great people and it was one of the best New Year Eves celebrations untill this days.
