Yofi Tofi

If there is one phrase used by tourists that is definitely going to bring out the smiles, its "Yofi Tofi". It means "Beautiful Toffee", and is usually used by small kids to express their pleasure. Since this was one of the first few phrases I learnt in Hebrew, it sort of stuck with me. The very fact that my roommates told me that it is not something that people would expect me to say has led me to use it extensively and see smiles light up on everyone's face. Some tell me that they havent heard it being used for many many years. More reasons that I am all for it; it is a great ice-breaker!

You could always look for a friendy looking person, hand them your camera for a minute, and ask them to add you to the scenery, right? that would really make it look better
