20+ Subtleties of everyday life that make Israel a highly enchanting place for tourists

Israel is a paradoxical country. Nationality is not included in the passport, while military conscription is mandatory for women. Write letters from right to left and numbers from left to right. There are only 22 letters in the alphabet, but only consonants. Don’t ask why, they don’t know either. When they greet each other, they don’t say “Hi”, but “Peace”. All this and many other details about this small country pique the curiosity of tourists.

O incredible.club decided to take a tour of Israel to understand the point of view of tourists and people who immigrated there later in life. Based on their stories, we made this story about the Promised Land. Thanks to the travel details, we were able to look at the country with new eyes and, what a surprise!

10. And yet, locals love snow. Even if it’s just a crowd in the middle of the street on a very sunny day

11. Their sense of humor runs in their blood. On the eve of the “Eurovision” music competition, this advertisement appeared

Message in English: “Good luck to all ‘Eurovision’ contestants!”
Message in Hebrew: “Just kidding, good luck to Kobi only!” (representative of Israel).

With its help, patients manage to get to family celebrations, the Wailing Wall, a fried chicken restaurant or even a favorite artist’s concert. Whatever the requirement is, it will be respected. There was also a case where paramedics took a paraplegic person on a stretcher to the top of the Masada plateau, which is 450 m above the level of the Dead Sea.

22. Little everyday oddities

We were on the train. I noticed that some girls got off and forgot their shopping bags on the seat. She said to my friend: “Quick, go after them, they forgot this!” He caught up with them, handed over the bags and went back. As he walked back, I noticed that there were identical bags scattered throughout the car. They were to collect the garbage. I can’t even imagine what the girls’ reaction was when they were approached by a boy handing them garbage bags. © Подслушано / VK

– Yea.

— You know you can withdraw money from any ATM, right?

– Yes I know.

— It’s just that when payment is made by card, I only see my money after a month. If you pay in cash, it’s on time. I can stop at a cashier and you can take it off quickly,” said the taxi driver, heading towards the ATM.

— Then offer me a discount since you want to get the money faster.

“Do you want a discount for paying me in cash?”

– Exactly.

“But it doesn’t make sense…”

“Then I’ll pay by card.”

He took a frustrated breath, but opted for payment by card. © Polozzz / pikabu
