Design Museum in Holon, Israel

A few days ago I wrote about the Toyko Fiber Senseware exhibition at the Design Museum in Israel (Holon, Israel, to be specific). What I purposely neglected to mention was the architecture of the Israel museum itself. Absolutely stunning. Like most museums (in Israel, or elsewhere), the building itself is a design exhibit. Under construction …

Senseware Exhibition at the Design Museum in Holon, Israel

Last week I finally got to Holon to check out the new Design Muesum.

And seeing as how you’re an audience, I thought I’d just share my random thoughts. Like or dislike, this is my blog. I was never actively …

My expectations for living alone, abroad

So, remember how I’m now doing a brief stint with a nonprofit here in Tel Aviv, Israel? Well, this is the very first time in my semi-adult life that I’m technically living somewhere I’ve never lived before, somewhere where I don’t know a single person. I wanted to do this earlier in my life but …
