My lack of creativity in finding a blog topic has lead me to post a video today. It's the blues. More specifically it's the Jerusalem Blues. This means it should trigger the olfactory sensory neurons in your brain to fire. This is due to the fact that Jerusalem is a town of many unique smells and is best conjured up mentally in a series of smell memories. Here are some of the smells I think you should get:
Hot white stone buildings, urine scented alleys, Arab men with lazy eyes and missing fingers selling useless already broken knick-knacks, sweat soaked bus seats, feral cat sex, un-deoderized gestating women in hot black dresses, hot beard, steaming wet trash, falafel-smell that leaves you wondering if it is body odor.
I love this city. Well that's all for now. Hope you enjoy the song.

Perhaps it's only in the Tel Aviv area, but I think you forgot one of Israel's most prevalent odors...sun scorched cat and dog bowels.
