Shopping?

My dear big sister, Ming & I wanted to go to a supermarket on Friday afternoon to buy some groceries for a dinner that we were preparing for later that night. So we get on to a bus and alighted at the destination, only to find this Israeli security person blocking our way.
There was a group of Israelis around us too and no one could get through.
At this point, Ming and I were trying to figure out what was happening and this Israeli just kept driving us all away and he shouted something in Hebrew. That was when everyone around us started to move away.

Curious, we asked this lady what was going on. She went, "uh... umm..... u know BOMB. Bomb" with large hand movements to emphasize what she was saying. We got the message and abandoned our shopping trip for now, walked across the road to this Hamburger place for lunch.The burger place was really good and after lunch, we discovered the supermarket was back to business and so we went shopping for groceries.

What I learnt from the bomb scare, in Israel, Life just goes on.....
