 Today after Yom Atsma'ut, I'm on my way to Kanyon Hadar, Hadar Mall in South Jerusalem where I'm picking up for the first time ever a package I ordered from the internet from one of the self-service lockers here in Israel. These are not new, they've been around for a couple of years but it's the first time I've ever had something that I bought online, sent to them. I buy quite a bit of stuff online for the most part related to camera and video gear. So it's probably going to be pretty intense security at the mall today because unfortunately yesterday three people were killed in a terrorist attack in the central Israeli city of Elad. So there's currently a manhunt underway, a national manhunt to apprehend the terrorists. Not to picking up online orders of some kind of great active heroism on my part but I think that's the response that Israelis always do is you just gotta within reason continue your daily routine and not allow your daily life to be disrupted because that's what they want. So coming into Hadar Mall now which is a kind of slightly, not the mall itself but Talpeot I feel like is kind of a slightly bleak, depressing place usually associated with industry in Jerusalem but the city has plans to make it into something a bit more vibrant like a south Jerusalem urban center. So let's go and check out the Israeli equivalent of Amazon locker. Okay I'm on the second floor here of Hadar Mall and right next to this kind of children's place enter we have this delightful looking locker saying E-post very hard to miss big flashy orange font. It's notification that gives me a code for the locker and I'm going to see how this works. So the Hebrew here says hello visitor please enter the codes to receive your package. I'm just going to go ahead now and enter my code 647. I'm going to hit this button now that says open locker and boom locker number 66 has popped open for me automatically and I guess I just closed my locker. So that was pretty seamless compared to going to a post office or going to you know something else like this. So it's called E-posts it did send the notification you need to pick it up from a locker within three business days 72 hours of their return and I'm not sure how strict they are right now. I'm excited about this it worked really well and these are the changes that might not seem that you know groundbreaking or whatever but they're the postal service is one of the things in Israel that's literally not been so great and these are all the many little day-to-day advances that make living here slightly better. So that was a good experience and I'd imagine I'll be picking up many more packages from the E-post locker in this location.
