This is a packet of Bamba. Bamba, for the uninitiated, is a peanut butter-flavoured snack, much beloved of small children across Eretz Israel. If you're British, think
Wotsits with more Peanut and less Cheese.
(The Small Noisy One, if allowed, would eat Bamba morning noon and night. He would also take a packet to bed with him, along with his guitar. But that's another matter altogether)

This is Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America. You may have heard a bit about him recently.
So, what's the connection between the leader of the free world and a bag of crisps? According to an acquaintance, a small child of six or seven had heard a lot of talk about the new president of the United States, and was curious enough to want to know more. So she approached her mother and asks:
Ima, tigidi li al ha Adon Barack Obamba - Mum, please tell me about this Mr Barack
Obamba.
I like it :-)
I moved to Israel two years ago today. Time flies when one is having fun, no?
