THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN<br />

ISRAEL AND NEVER AT HCME<br />

By Adam Eis<br />

1) Pushing old ladies - don’t deny it. You know you’ve done it at least once.<br />

2) 20 year olds wanting to look 17 - if you never asked for that card, you lost<br />

out.<br />

3) Perpendicular/diagonal parking - The Israeli motto is, “If it doesn’t fit,<br />

never quit...there’s always room for your car, whether it’s parked diagonal<br />

or perpendicular.”<br />

4) Buses pulling over for a falafel - don’t believe m e....just walk to the 5 shek<br />

falafel store (actually hut) and you’ll see.<br />

5) M16’s everywhere - It’s not in every country that people walk down the<br />

street with M16’s. Back at home if people see an M l6, they will run for<br />

cover.<br />

6) Checking bags when you enter and not when you leave - need I say more?<br />

7) Your falafel dealer is also an oral surgeon - rumor has it that you get a free<br />

falafel with every check-up...<br />

8) Chefetz Chashud - If you leave a bag unattended here, it gets blown up. If<br />

you do the same at home, it gets stolen.<br />

9) Ridiculous Store Hours - Why is it that stores are always closed during your<br />

free time, and open when you have classes. Can you say conspiracy?????<br />

10) Bezek - There is no way you will ever, and I mean ever, have an experience<br />

like this back home.
