If Jerusalem is like an union and you have to peel one layer to find another one, Tel Aviv is like a quilt, it has many pieces that apparently don't have any connection to another, but which make one big blanket together.
When I lived in a Kibbuts, which is a small village, I thought that Tel Aviv is the ugliest place in the country, only later I understood, that it is so different from the place where I lived, but it definitely isn't ugly, but different.
Now I like it and every time I visit Tel Aviv I find something new and different. Tel Aviv is the entertainment capital of Israel, it also is the centre of commerce and economy. The Tel Aviv people have a different state of mind and a different attitude to life and all this make it a fascinating place to visit.

An Israeli song written by Natan Alterman says:
"בכל זאת יש בה משהו, כן, יש בה איזה משהו, לא טוב שהוא, לא רע שהוא, אבל כיום זה משהו"
"Anyway there is something about her, she has something, not good and not bad, but still it is something."
It is about a girl, but for me it is THE metaphor about Tel Aviv.
Enjoy!
