yes - if you exit the conference center, go left - right after the stairs, on your left there is a mall (before crossing any street). Go down the escalator and you'll find a supermarket.

For those of you who want to send postcards / other mail: there isn't a facility to "buy stamps" per se at the post office. You need to have your mail ready, take it to the post office (on Wedgwood Street), wait at the counter (expect 15min wait) and tell the teller where you want to send your mail. They'll attach the postal chop onto your mail directly and collect it at the counter. Or, if you have a lot of postcards, they'll "teach" you how to stick them

Is it true there is a special issue Wikipedia stamp worth collecting? -Andrew

Yeah, I really want to find a way to get some of these and send off post cards for people but it's going to be tough to get to the post office I think. I imagine they are probably closed tomorrow (and may not have them if they are) and Sunday the Jerusalem trip is gone from 0800-2100 and so the office will probably be closed :( 2011/8/5 Gábor Hanák <hangabor(a)gmail.com> -- James Alexander Business Analyst - Fundraising Wikimedia Foundation
