Continuing on from the posts of 10 signs your Israel tourist visa has expired and Another 10 signs… here are yet another 10 signs you might have forgotten to visit the Ministry of Interior in quite a while…
I should just remind you that this series is for those of us who have maybe stayed a bit longer than anticipated (ahem, 18+ years?!), and hopefully will give you an insight into daily life in Israel and to what we’ve gotten used to over time…
Here they are, another 10 signs you haven’t extended your Israel tourist visa in quite a while…
- …you hear Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ in August and don’t even flinch.
- …you find state-employees helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
- …every time you hear about deportation crackdowns you start sweating.
- …all your mother-in-law’s friends have been “enhanced” by plastic surgery.
- …you think nothing of eating in the street, humus dribbling down your chin.
- …you can’t put a proper sentence together in your native language.
- …you pay those pesky kids to clean your car windows at every junction.
- …you aren’t aware that one is supposed to pay for software.
- …a PhD in Nuclear Physics fluent in 4 languages is sweeping the streets outside your house for a pittance but he is from the Ukraine so it’s all right.
- …you use the word “Nu” at least 10 times when listening to a friend’s story.
Coming soon, yet another 10 signs your Israel tourist visa has expired…
