Schwarma 12* and Chagim musings

Had my 12th* schwarma, at Falafel HaGesher. Was good. I know put Hamba, which is a slightly spicy mango sauce, on all my schwarmas or falafels. I really enjoy it.

What I don't enjoy is Chag (the holidays). Shabbat and the Chagim in Israel are very oppressive to the secular. Everything is closed. In October, the whole goddamn country shuts down. This just isnt' right. I know it's a Jewish State and all, but I really believe this must change. Buses should run, and stores should feel that they have a right to be open. It's really bothersome. The weekends feel shorter too. And Sunday is a weekday. I'm still not used to that.
