My place in Jerusalem is the German Colony, perhaps because it is the most "non-Jerusalem" place. There is a feeling of another place, such as Paris or another big city. You are in the heart of the the Middle East conflict, but the German Colony, with its cafes and with a normal movie theater, is an island of sanity in the complex Jerusalem reality.
