4 Random Things About Israel. In a Random Order.

UNO: I know it perfectly as a Pole living in Britian, that the word "immigrant" has negative connotations. In Israel the term "OLEH HADASH" is used to describe immigrants to the country. The word "oleh" comes from "aliyah" which means "going up" and therefore carries many positive connotations with it. On the other hand, the word "YERIDA", which is used to describe emmigrants, means "going down". Those Jews, amazing word choice.

DOS: Jewish men are very good looking - that's what everyone knows. The thing I noticed is that they all have great bodies as well (young men. YOUNG men.) "Is it the mandatory army service" I thought to myself. Maybe it is, but while doing my research I found a girl who might know best! Hilarious: "Why are Israeli men so good looking? Is it the military training or their diet of falafel and hummus? Is it the fact that they do army training that keeps them nice and trim? I have been wondering if it is what they eat, all the falafel, the schwarma, the hummus, the tehina and chickpeas. Is that responsible for their good looks?"

TRES: Very few Israeli women wear shorts. I see plenty of girls in jeans and I thought that I am a hero surviving the heat in shorts. I don't believe that you can get "used to the heat" - people in Middle Eastern countries have been looking for ways to hide from the heat for ages now, nowadays obviously the answer is the air conditioning, but I hear people complaining about the heat a lot. If Israeli girls don't feel like showing their legs, fine, but why sweat it out in denim? Not very hygenic...

CUATRO: I went to the supermarket to buy Coca-Cola. I payed 5 NIS for a 0,33 l can. The day after that I bought a 1,5 l Pepsi for 5,5 NIS. In the same supermarket. I love you Israel, but you confuse me OH so much sometimes.
