Domestic strangeness of Israelis, embarrassing our tourists

In the modern world, borders between countries, their traditions and customs are successfully erased due to the ability to travel often. The internet helps us learn more about the places we want to go. Speaking of tourism, I want to tell you at least a little about life in Israel. Let's figure out why people are going there more and more recently.

Features of life that concern only tourist trips, not so much. But the points that should be considered when moving, much more. And, of course, the main aspects that interest everyone are housing. It is quite expensive to shoot, especially in a city like Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.



Many people want to rent an apartment here, because finding a job in another part of the country is quite difficult. For example, it is much cheaper to live in the north of Israel, and the nature there is simply incredible. Many people prefer to rent an apartment in Haifa or Beersheba, but it is more difficult to find work in these cities. Although those who are used to working remotely, will definitely be able to feel a significant benefit. The view from the window to the sea and the mountains will amaze everyone.



Planning a move, you need to be prepared for the fact that the communal will cost a penny here. There is no central heating in Israel, nor is there hot water. The use of boilers and air conditioners significantly affects the amount in the electricity bill. A big plus is that Israel is a warm country. Economy residents in the winter warm with warm clothes and blankets, often this is quite enough.



From an early age, Israelis are taught a love of work, as well as non-standard thinking. The norm is that already at the age of 15, teenagers begin to actively earn money. Children are happy to feel independent and not depend on their parents, because they constantly see similar examples around them.



Helping others in almost any business is welcome. Here you will be able to carry your suitcases to the apartment, fill out unfamiliar forms, and even conduct a short tour.

I want to talk about a few more serious disadvantages that are worth knowing. Israel is not very suitable for those who are accustomed to European clarity and specificity. Here it is the norm to negotiate everything, to make exceptions to the rules, etc. For example, you can even ask for a credit card in a bank, although according to the rules it should not be given. It is very difficult to understand all these rules and no one will give you specific instructions.



The country is pretty messy. Garbage can be seen everywhere, even on public transport. The architecture is very diverse and also pleases the eye not always.



Public life is closely intertwined with religious life. For example, on Saturdays throughout the country, the Sabbath: shops are closed, cafes are not working, even the elevator stops on each floor so that visitors do not violate the rules of the Sabbath. These are the things to consider if you are seriously thinking about life in Israel.



Of course, much better about life in the country you can tell someone who has lived there for at least 10 years. Before moving, try to find friends or make new ones through forums where you will be devoted to all the details. You can also search video blogs on YouTube. Good luck moving!
