One of the best things about living in Tel Aviv...

... as well as some of the other larger cities in Israel, as opposed to the smaller ones, is that you actually get all your mail delivered to your house or the building where you live. Now, this might not sound like such a big deal, but it actually is. In a lot of the smaller cities in Israel, you do not have this luxury, but have to go pick up your mail at a mail station instead. And it is not very uncommon that this place is not very close to where you actually live. So while the city of Tel Aviv might not have all the greenery of the moshavs and smaller cities of Israel, at least getting the mail is fairly simple, even if you are only staying in Tel Aviv for a short while. That is, until you have to go to the post office to get packages or something. That can be quite an unpleasant experience, after all. But how to manage at the Israeli post offices is probably a topic for another post entirely... (the mail station pictured is from the small town of Yavne, Israel)
