Sorry about eh multiple posts.  My computer is being wacky.

I could see how coming to Israel could cause a cultural shock for people. Common courtesy isn't that common here lol

 

That's not true. People were totally nice from my experience. Not that I got out much, and when I did, I was the odd person that didn't speak any Hebrew.

 

I experienced some culture shock when I moved to Qatar in high school. My dad was on a work assignment and it was completely different than I thought it would be. I'm not really sure what I expected, but for a 14 year old from Texas/New Jersey/Virginia it was definitely an experience. This was pre-9/11 (2 months before it, actually), so things were different than they are now. I guess I kind of dealt with it. It got boring pretty quickly though, since there wasn't much to do.

Well from my 29 years of experience in this country, a lot of people here suck. :P

I'm going to interpret that as "people like me better than they like you". :P

 

Edit: To be fair, the Israeli I live with is kind of a jerk. I get no courtesy from that one. :|
