More weird things about Israel, for Tashia

1) All the schools have security checkpoints and barbed wire fences around them. This includes high schools, colleges, and even elementary schools.

2) In fact, there are security checkpoints EVERYWHERE.

3) We have not had a single meal that was not a buffet.

4) Every documentary (like at historical sites) is an unintentional comedy.

5) Everyone is loud, and very very expressive with their hands and voices.

6) They have an obsession with blonde girls. Our token blonde has been hit on by literally every guy.

7) Everyone thinks we are all Mormon. Shop keepers tell us "I give you very good price because I like Mormons!"

8) There are cats everywhere. Like literally, everywhere. And most of them look malnourished.

9) Every audience here has been sold out except one.

10) Even if they don't understand what you asked, they will give you an answer, no matter how much bullshit it is. This leads to confusing walks to irrelevant places.
