On the way from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, there is a must stop for every tourist bus. This is Alexander (and every tour guide knows him by name!) who is entertaining the tourists and takes them for a short ride for some bucks.
The house Claude Monet lived and worked is a place art lovers often choose as an art tourism destination. And certainly want to buy something to remember the trip.
I happened to this place Sovetsk (former Tilsit in Königsberg area - Prussia), Russia during my lecturing tour. This is a kind of soviet nostalgia hotel and bar that had a kind of ironic flavour about it.
