Israeli Culture...?

Here are a few things I have learnt about Israeli culture and have had to get used to...

1. Don't bother getting out of bed before 9am...NOTHING goes on, or is open before 9 in the morning
2. Don't bother going to bed before 9pm because things only getting going then...sabbath is a good example of this. The place will be a ghost town and then suddenly at about 9pm everything is open and everybody (young and old) is out on the streets buying, eating and just generally "hanging out".
3. Don't ever again complaint about South African drivers...including taxis. Wow these people are crazy on the roads!
4. It would seem every country has a racism or prejudice problem...even here. There is not much love lost between the Jews and the Arabs; the "secular" and "religious" Jews; natives and immigrants...and the list goes on.
5. Cats...olives...pickles...if you don't like them don't come to Israel, they are all over the place.


6. If you like red wine...come to Israel there's lots of it!
7. Whatever you do...don't come to Israel in the summer, unless you want to lose some weight then it's the perfect time to come.
