Hakoah

Appologies for the long wait, I was very buisy finding my way around town. Eva, Leon and I joined a Jewish Spors Club (for swimming) a couple of weeks ago. Its a rather unique institution. When you pull up in your car, their is a 2 foot thick metal gate with steel poles that stand infornt of the gate. You must firt scan your membership card, then the 3 steel poles lower and the gate slowley opens. The whole time, we are observed by about 50 cameras. After driving through tht e gate. the gate shuts behing us, ultimatly locking us inside Hakoah. After parking, we proceed inside and once again scan out membership bands to inable us to enter the sports facility from the parking lot. The front desk staff friendly greet us as we proceed down to the chaning rooms. Our wrist bands must be scaned in order to gain access to the locker rooms. When we are changer and ready to enter the pool, we walk through a corridor, scan our bands, then the door swings open and frees us into the open area that is fences in what resembles a barbed whire fence. If the door is opened without scanning your band, a siren goes off!!! Then its time to have fun! We sit down in our lawn chairs, make ourselves comfy, and try to relax as we are stared at by 20 more video cameras. Literally, from the pool area alone I spotted 10 cameras, and im sure thair are hidden ones aswell! The accomadation could be describes as a four star insane assylum! Its got a very welcoming aura about it!
