" Two In One"

A term that has many meanings for so many people . But it has one special meaning to Gazans.
Here In Gaza, if you find a ride to university , work or home then you're so damn lucky! And  if you find two people sitting at one seat that in other cases would barely be enough for one , DON'T get surprised! " TWO IN ONE " is two people ( grown-ups actually) sitting at one seat . Not because they want to , but because they have no other choice!
Here in Gaza , our lives are so different , weird but exciting at the same time.
Whenever you go out , you will face , see and experience a new thing ! Three days ago I witnessed the " Two In one " and today I saw how Gazans people are organized and they would actually play it by the rules !
Almost a hundred car were parked , one after another waiting to fill their tanks ! I actually smiled because for the very first time , I can  say that we can be a civilized people compared to other countries!
Here in Gaza , the abnormal thing is having electricity and if you have it you better be careful and when you have electricity for more than 6 hours then it's party time ! People would envy you for a bliss that many don't have ! 
Here in Gaza , you see everything starting from two people fighting over a cab ending with a car running on cook oil!

Here in Gaza , we have what no body else has ! We don't have fuel and there's no one to blame!
If you blame Israel , then you are not completely fair !
If you blame Hamas , then you would be Scandalmonger !
If you blame Egypt , then you are so not living the moment ! Egypt itself is having a crisis with fuel! and last but not least if you blame RamaAllah , then you are defiantly not seeing the whole truth!!

So here in Gaza , we blame ourselves !!

Gaza , I love you Gaza ! You actually have no alike and still people are wondering why am so in love with you !
