Jaffa flea market
Flea market with stalls and shops: clothing, furniture and household goods, as well as cafés and bars.
The most extraordinary thing about Jaffa flea market is arguably its variety of vivid characters. These are people who sell things, people who want to buy things and even those who simply want to wander around the antiques market. Obviously, there are many hipster-like cafés and bars around the market itself which attract tourists and young people alike. However, among the tinsel of the youth, there are true diamonds of human personalities. It could be an elderly lady thoughtfully sifting through the goods laid out on a piece of cardboard which serves as a makeshift stall. Or it could be carpet seller who is solving crosswords in a stately but leisurely manner. It could even be shrewd lads hastily loading goods (which might not necessarily be their own) in an old vintage wagon. Watching them, you start to discern the true, non-touristy image of Tel Aviv. This is something not everyone can achieve. About at 2 p.m. or 2:30 p.m. the sellers start to fold up their pop-up stalls. Some of them move into a small café right in the middle of the market to discuss the latest news and play backgammon. But the ones who are particularly persistent will be waiting for your team.
As Vladimir Vysotsky sang, if your friend has suddenly turned out to be... in another team... 4.1...
you have to give your friend a souvenir from the study. We suggest you go shopping and buy gifts for your friends at the flea market of Shuk Ha Pishpeshim (eh, how did you pronounce it?) that stretched out on scanty mats and DIY cardboard stalls not far away from the city walls of Old Jaffa. Choose at least one person from another team and buy them something nice. Send us a picture of your gift. Remember that you are going to speak in the evening, so be ready to explain why you are giving this particular thing to this particular person. 5 points

You are now near the place where the famous and most popular brand came from. Strangely enough, it seems to be more popular in other countries than in Israel. Jaffa resident Erez Rosen has recently opened a shop here. Thanks to a fascinating story he has become an owner of a very popular house of perfume. Do not pass up the opportunity to take a look at the place where all this began, to buy gifts and, hopefully, to meet Erez in person. He is still said to visit his first shop and to create bespoke fragrances for the lucky visitors.
Task 4.3
Enter the shop and record a video of a gripping news-style crime report there (in a horizontal format, of no more than 30 sec). Tell us about the activities of Mr. Rosen in your country, use data from available public sources on the revenue and profits of the company. Also, the viewers would probably like to hear your hypothesis on why it is so popular in the place where you are from.
