k.. but make sure you've got a grip on the exchange rate. You aren't accustomed to the water and what ever chemicals they put in it to treat it.(don't forget about ice cubes).. it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

As for the water, it's a pretty modern country. From what my cousin who works in the State Dept and is stationed in Jerusalem said, it's as safe as drinking NYC tap water.

You should ask CaptNismo for advice on how to show shame when confronted with your Americanness.

Yes, but they just want his money, political support, and possible service in the IDF. They'll bend over backwards to show him a good time.

NYC tapwater is a'ight. I used to use it for my coffee in my dorm last year. They say it's one of the freshest sources of tap water in the country.Kmar wrote:

i swear to god, everyone i mentioned to that i'm going tells me "don't fall for the IDF shtick" or something similar. they must really try hard to get young kids to joinJay wrote:

Why do you think they would spend time and money flying you halfway across the world? To be nice? It's 100% a propaganda trip. The Soviets used to invite communist sympathizers to tour the country. Stalin called them 'useful idiots'. Enjoy the free trip but understand what you're getting into before you go. They're expecting you to be a standard bearer for them when you return. When Congress threatens their foreign aid, you'll be expected to call your senator and take up Israel's cause
