I've recently been struck by how much life here is so similar to life in California. Most of the time I think it's me - I have my own set ways of doing things, and things are going to be that way in Los Angeles, Petaluma, Jerusalem, Singapore, Uganda, etc. But sometimes I think it's because the culture of Jerusalem and the culture of America are slowly creeping together, no longer parallel but more and more overlapping.
Like today. I was walking home from school in the later afternoon, and at the corner of King George/Keren HaYesod/Agron/Ramban/Derech Aza (it's a massive 5-way intersection that's a bitch to cross), I saw this sign:
Translation:
Sign on left: "Animals have a right to live"
Sign on right: "Meat is murder"
Some things really are universal.
