In the Kilimanjaro airport where I believe I can probably guess someone's original just by looking at their shoes. Not to put too fine a point on it, but all the Europeans and North Americans are wearing hiking boots and all the Africans are wearing dress shoes. There's a few exceptions of course but you'd be pretty safe betting on that one in this airport. 

I just had (at Tel Aviv airport) one of the most thorough security checks I've ever had. Actually I would say it was 3rd most thorough.  In all 3 cases I have felt like at some point the person questioning me switched their focus from assessing me as a risk to just trying to figure out exactly what I do. That seems to mystify some people for some reason. Also not everything I do makes sense so that doesn't help. In general security checks don't bother me--mostly I figure what they do may actually keep me and others safe.

Saturday night traffic in Tel Aviv

20 hour layover in Tel Aviv. It was originally supposed to be 14 hours but never mind,  it means I was able to spend a few hours admiring the Mediterranean. Also worth noting that website travel posts gave somewhat conflicting info on whether things were open on the Sabbath, which is when I happened to arrive. Turns out that things are open in certain areas like Old Jaffa, but not so much in the other parts of town I tried to visit. Trains and buses do not run until evening which means I had to rely on a cab to get me to the city. If I had arrived any other day I would have been fine. Still, it was good to get a bit of a walk in and soak up some pleasant 20 degree weather.
