The Beam in the Canyon
I'm Through...
The Depths of the Church
Around the Bend
Good Morning From Galilee
Afterwards, we headed to the Iscar company. They are involved in all things that involve metal cutting.
We then went to a shopping mall to get dinner. I had time to walk around the stores. The funny thing is all the clothing there is made in China, so its no different than back home.
Last we went to a basketball game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Haifa. It was a good game and Maccabi barely won. After the game we made our way back to the hotel to relax after a long day.
Another Long Day
We started our day off early in Jerusalem and began our journey. Since today was Sunday, it was the first day of the workweek. This caused a decent amount of traffic on our way to Nazareth.
Nazareth was very interesting. One of the first "welcome" signs was one that stated essentially, convert to Islam or else. What a welcome! After that we went to the main Church in Nazareth. It was very beautiful. Each country in the world with a Christian presence donated a mural that reflected the style of Christianity in that country.
From there we headed to the city of Tibiras. We strolled along the waters edge and had a nice lunch of falafel and strawberries.
After we stopped at various Christian religious sites. One church as at the top of a large mountain/hill and we had the opportunity to hike down. On the way down I was amazed how much it was like San Diego in terms of weather and plant life.
To finish the day we first went to a hilltop in Golan that overlooked Syria. After we went to a winery and had the chance to try three different types of wine and enjoy the company.
To a Better Place
Additionally we had the opportunity to test drive one of their converted Renault cars. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and hopefully we will be hearing big thing about this company in the near future.
Been in Jerusalem
Got to Jerusalem, visited the Mount of Olives, Holy Sepulchre, souks, fruit stands and much more. I've had shawarma, falafel and had the opportunity to attend a Sabbath lunch.
Tomorrow we head up to Nazareth. Will write more then.
We Have Arrived at a "Better Place"
Afterward, we headed to Better Place, which is a company that is both trying to reduce the world's dependence oil and revolutionize the automobile industry at the same time. We had the opportunity to test drive the modified Renault Lagunas on their special test track. We then were all fortunate to meet the company's founder, Shai Agassi. Overall, it was a very educational and enjoyable experience.
We then went to Teva Pharmaceuticals where we learned more about the generic and biosimilar medication industries. It was very informative and interesting to see how a company has quietly grown so much over the past twenty years.
The last business stop of the day was at Siemens, or the company formerly known as Solel. It was there we learned about the Solar industry and see an actual panel in action. And by action I mean soaking up the sun's rays out back.
By this time our whole group was pretty worn out but we still went to Tel Aviv University. While there we got a chance to meet some of the MBA students there. Nothing like having forty different MBAs in a group together!
To cap the night off we went on a quest for Shawarma, Falafel and Sabih. Fortunately for all of us, we found all three. Kristen and I split a Falafel and Sabih and finished the meal with a glass of freshly squeezed orange and white grapefruit juice.
Overall it was a long but enjoyable day. Tomorrow we are in Tel Aviv briefly, then we head to Jerusalem. Oh, and tomorrow, I won't eat so much at the buffets!
International Arrivals: Tel Aviv
On Monday, we left Bloomington at about 3pm EST, arrived at Indy airport at around 4pm EST, took off at 7:40pm EST, arrived in Toronto at about 9pm EST, left at 11:40pm EST and got to Israel at 6pm Israel time on Tuesday. Phew. Lots of stop and goes, but I did collect two new stamps on my passport, Canada (seriously?) and Israel.
Overall the journey was uneventful, just the typical smelling of perfume and cologne at the duty free shop in Canada. Once in Israel, I passed through customs smoothly and got my bags. The tour group then headed to the bus going to Tel Aviv. During the ride to the city I got the same vibe as when we arrived in Istanbul. It must be that Mediterranean thing going on.
Once at our hotel, we were treated to a dinner buffet. This was a good buffet. There was a large selection of vegetables/produce which is something I was actually craving. This ranged from chopped bell peppers, olives, pickles, cabbage, fennel, lima beans, corn and much more. Additionally there was some meat products including fish and beef. It was very good, and if this meal is any indication of the next eleven days, I will be eating very well.
After dinner, Kristen and I took a walk on the Tel Aviv promenade right next to the Mediterranean. It was very nice and made me think of San Diego. We then slipped into a small food mart and got some delicious nuts, seeds and few chocolate bars for later. We then made our way back to the hotel stopping at McDonald's to scope out what different types of burgers/sandwiches they have. There was a McFalafel wrap which I suppose is fairly unique. I don't think I'll be seeing it in Bloomington anytime soon.
All in all, it's been great so far and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Until then, Shalom!
Destination: Israel
| The Sun Rises Over Jaffa |
There is some detailed information on my trip at the website that the school put together and can be found here: KIP Israel.
I'm looking forward to this trip. I've had friend and family visit Israel and tell me that it is a destination I definitely had to visit. Additionally, I have never been to the Middle East and figure now is a great time to start. On the second to last day of the trip, I'll be heading to Jordan to see Petra.
It should be a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to sharing more here. Be sure to check back.
Salaam-Namaste!
Oh the Places I've Been

Whoa! Almost 25% Done!
Additionally, we were able to meet last Thursday and Friday with alumni who are on the board for the Business Marketing Academy which I'm in. Meeting alumni is always a good thing. We are able to develop connections as well as see that there is hope for us in the future!
Well as the last three weeks approach, I'm getting myself mentally prepared for the five finals that wait for me at the end. Once done with that, I'll know that I'm 25% through business school and also have a few weeks off to rest for the next semester.
Almost there...
Where Oh Where Have I Gone?
Next, I've been working on the blog for our KIP (Kelley international perspectives) trip to Israel coming up in 2010. Be sure to see it here.
We have week eleven coming up. That means only five more after this week! I may just make it through the Core alive yet...
Where You Can Find Me
In the next few weeks or months I'm going to try and organize my online presence a little better. Until then check out www.charltonclemens.com and kelley.thelejo.com.
I'd Like to Thank the Academy... Week
After seven hard, challenging, educational weeks, it was time for something different. I am in the Business Marketing Academy and was looking forward to this week. This was twofold. First, I was excited to meet companies. The more contacts I can build up the better. Second, I need to keep developing my marketing knowledge.
So this week we had the pleasure to meet with the following companies: Lilly, Eaton, and DuPont in Bloomington and Boston Scientific, Eaton and 3M in Minneapolis, MN.
Overall, it was a great week and I did develop a few contacts. However, now it's time to get back into the grind and finish off the Core strong. Bring on week nine.
It's Been Almost Two Months...
Yes I Am Still Alive
Tomorrow Kristen's brother gets in. Should be good times all around!
Had Fun, But Week Four Is Done!
Tuesday: Accounting test. Get a good score or else. The or else? You take it again, and again and again. That is until you pass. Fortunately I passed (and did well the first time).
Friday: Quantitative Analysis test. Yep I've been doing Excel for the last five years right? I should be able to handle this easy right? No. The Excel stuff was alright. It wasn't hard, but it took a lot of time. That was half of the test. The other has was hard. Probabilities, stats and much more. What made it really challenging was going at quick pace, it would probably take about 3.5 hours to complete the test. We had 3 hours. I think for the majority of the class, it rocked our world.
Once Friday night rolled around we were off to play some flag football in the mud. It was the first years versus the second years. After a quick 0-14 deficit to the 2nd years, we rallied back and won the game 28-21.
So those were the highlights. Bring on week five.

If you were looking out the back of your palace, this is what you would see.
From Wikipedia: Schönbrunn Palace (German: Schloss Schönbrunn) is a former imperial summer residence in Vienna, Austria. One of the most important cultural monuments in the country, since the 1960s it has been one of the major tourist attractions in Vienna. The palace and gardens illustrate the tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs.

From Wikipedia: “Humayun’s tomb (Hindi: हुमायूँ का मक़बरा, Urdu: ہمایون کا مقبره Humayun ka Maqbara) is a complex of buildings built as the Mughal Emperor Humayun’s tomb, commissioned by Humayun’s wife Hamida Banu Begum in 1562 CE, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyath, a Persian architect. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah citadel also known as Purana Qila, that Humayun founded in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The complex was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.”
