Potpourri

Current conditions:
It's foggy today and there's a chance for rain everywhere. So I won't be site seeing today.

How do you like your steak?:
You'll have to remember that the Israelis' gauge their doneness differently than the US by a single factor rarer. So if you order a Medium steak you'll get a Medium Rare steak. Oh and it seems odd to them when you ask for anything cooked more than Medium.

Street lanes/lines and traffic rules:
They're more of a guideline than an actual lane. Cars may occupy a part of your lane and it's normal. Honk your horn whenever you want and police cars always have their lights on.

Israeli women:
Boots and skirts, boots and skirts, boots and skirts. Some wear boots and jeans but there are boot shops everywhere.

  3. So does this mean I should bring my hooker boots to Israel so I can fit in with the other women? When in Israel, right?

  4. That's funny about the boots. When my sister went to Jordan (her husband is from there) she was excited because one of her sister-in-laws took her to buy a pair of boots for her birthday. I wondered why boots. But I guess boots are the thing in that area.
