Just a bit of fun for you, this post could easily be titled “You know you’ve been in Israel too long when…”. It’s for those of us who have maybe stayed a bit longer than anticipated (ahem, 18+ years?!), an insight into daily life in Israel and to what we’ve gotten used to over time…
So, 10 signs you’re Israel tourist visa expired…a long time ago:
- …you’re in a lift (elevator) and don’t even notice the guy yelling into his mobile phone.
- …someone says ‘snack’, you think: watermelon.
- …you can’t tell the difference between a Goldstar and a Tuborg.
- …you start supporting Brazil during a World Cup.
- …you don’t blink when handed an alcohol free cider drink.
- …you start advising your host how to cook his/her barbeque meat.
- …you have an amusing army anecdote and weren’t even in the army.
- …you think nothing about queuing to get into a coffee bar.
- …your second sentence is “How much did it cost?“
- …you queue for yeasty products once Pessach (Passover) breaks.
Coming soon, another 10 signs your Israel tourist visa has expired…
