Tell you Guys some facts & weird about Israel. The work week starts on Sunday & ends on Thursday. Friday & Saturday are call "Shabat". Jews are not suppose to work on Shabat, it's a family day. That means, basically all shopping mall is closed on Shabat. Accept in Tel Aviv, some tourist spots, Arabic streets or Russian Shops are open. Most shops only open till 8pm. Even large shopping malls. All malls have tight security like our airport. Check bags & hand scanners. Their shopping mall are all small scale inside. Building big only but nothing much inside to see. Not like Singapore much more stuff to see.
Language here is Hebrew & people take "kosher" food. They consider fish is none living animails. They seldom eat seafood, because price although have 400km of fine coast line. Creature with shell is generally consider non-kosher. Consider some beers are not kosher & some beer are kosher ($ buys the kosher stamp) & wine is kosher. Kosher food does not mix cheese with meat. So Burgers are not kosher food, but there is Mcdonals around. Please don't ever order Mcdonal's XXL meal. It's really huge, at least 2 times bigger then what you seen in Singapore.
Common sports are babacue, beach sports, Kitesurfing, ATVs & sex. Night life is pubing, disco, resturants & TV. General public past-time is "argument".
The country is relative flat, mostly agriculture. Dry weather, we experiance 2x sand storm & 1x ice storm. Temperature difference a lot. Now ranging from 16 in the morning/night & afternoon is 25 is common.
Nice time to vist Dead Sea & tourist spots is actually when just winter ends. March. Like now, it's too hot & expensive. 1 toilet visit cost you NIS8 (SG$3.30) in tourist spot. In March it's only NIS1 (SG$0.40). Air-ticket cost me SG$3050 in Junary from Singapore for Luftasa Airline (German). EL Air have super high tenacious for strip & detail search if you are not Isreallis. Airport check in time minimum is 3~4hrs before you see the plane. Singaporean for visiting Israel can take "second" passport valid for 1yr. Any passport with Muslim country chop are strictly not allowed to enter.
Forget about "Cheap" in Israel. Everything is expensive then Singapore. 95 Petrol cost SG$2.50 per litre. A small slice of pizza & small coke cost SG$10 minimum. Movies cost SG$15 per ticket. Small bottle Carsberg cost SG$6. Suprizingly large ticket items are sold in US$ not in NIS. The sign "$" it means US$ not New Isreallis Shekel. Only you see "NIS" then it's New Isreallis Shekel. Credit cards are largely accepted. There are lots of "Plus" service ATM around for cash redrawing directly from Singapore Bank.
Suicide Bombers only target common local place like Bus-interchange & taxi stands or local market. They totally avoid tourist spots or investors property. They come only in some season. Simply because they are "economics" Suicide Bombers. Avoid places like Hebron, Jerusalem, Golan Height & palastian village. All other areas are fine.
90% local girls are attached or married. :-( Getting laid by local girls is not easy. Many Russian are here. White, nice hot body & Easy. kekekeke
