This geohash follows the standard format of every Israeli geohash to date:
1) It will be successful if and only if two people attempt it together; AND
2) if and only if it takes place in the Beersheba graticule; AND
3) if and only if none of the participants actually live in that graticule; AND
4) Something, no matter how trivial, will not go according to plan.
Contents
Location
Among a set of buildings between Max Nordau Street and Netiv Moshe Street in Rehovot, Israel.
Participants
Yerushalmi and his wife.
Plans
Yerushalmi decided to drive straight to Tel-Aviv after work so he could buy two tickets to a movie his wife wanted to see, then surprise her with them at her university. And since the movie was set for 7:30pm, we would have time to head down to the geohash point first.
Expedition
Armed with a printout of the hashpoint, our new digital camera, our trusty Mazda2 (Elphaba, who should really get her own page sooner or later), a good road map of Israel, and the ticket times for "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" at Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv, Yerushalmi left Jerusalem at a little after 2:00 pm headed west. Sometime after 3 he reached the mall, parked, went inside, and bought the two tickets for the subtitled (not the dubbed) version to be played that evening at 7:30. By 3:30 he was out of the mall, and doing circles in the confusing one-way streets in the area trying to find the way out of Tel-Aviv and towards Bar-Ilan University.
Shortly after he did so, however, his wife called. "I've finished early and I've headed for the bus stop. I'll see you soon."
Uh-oh.
"No, wait, don't. I'm-"
"You're what?"
After explaining that I'm actually in Tel-Aviv and no longer in Jerusalem, Yerushalmi then had to come up with a decent excuse as to why.
