Be safe and watch out for furry terrorists. (Actually, that's good advice no matter where you're going)

Round Two out of three happening on Sunday. This time it'll be the whole family, and we'll be gone a bit longer. Dunno if/when we'll have wireless, since we're staying with family, and I'm not certain they have wifi. We'll see. ^_^

Final Israel flight (for the summer) happening in about a week. Gonna be flying over next sunday, and stay there until April. First time living without my family for such a long time, but I have tons of family there, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Posting rates will possibly fluctuate when I arrive, due to not really knowing my personal schedule, but should stable out in a week or two. Got a phone with 3G, so I shouldn't have a problem like last time.

Super excited! ^_^

What do they teach you at Jew School?
Bible and Talmud stuff, as well as Jewish theory (why we believe, what we believe in, that kind of stuff).
The value of money?

That too. :P

What percentage of the students are from the west?

Aren't there those who are raised completely in the religious schools? Having no real knowledge of secular things?
Title: Re: Israel
Post by: Not Aman on August 09, 2015, 10:18:57 am
Oh, I'm going to a school specifically for English Speakers, ha ha. Most of the students there are redcoats though, so it should be interesting.

Maybe a couple. Only really know the students that came from my school.

'Redcoats' as in those British chaps?

Sunny and hot, and if you are like my friend and decide to go see the area the dead sea scrolls were found in, you get to see the military nearly.blow up your car :)
Title: Re: Israel
Post by: Tanstaafl on August 17, 2015, 11:49:17 am
Depends where you go! The south (Mostly desert) is hot in the daytime and chill at night so time awesome. The North (mountains) is cold in the winter but not too hot during the summer.

Israel is actually fairly safe-- if only because there's bound to be a military man wherever you go, just gotta watch out for the gas stations near Palestinian villages haha. Also gotta watch out for when various world governments will suspend visas just because they don't agree with something Netanyahu is doing XD

How'd that happen? XD
Title: Re: Israel
Post by: Forge on August 17, 2015, 02:47:49 pm
They were dumb enough to leave it parked on the side of the road without a note or preparation for a few hours then hiked up to some caves. Several hours later and they return to find the military setting up to 'controled explosion' it to Kingdom come.

Luckily they got there in time to explain lol

Post by: Not Aman on September 16, 2015, 10:55:27 am
Hey guys, gonna ask a favor from you guys. Recently a new apartment opened, and me and a few friends rushed to get in (original one was 17 guys, 1 shower, 2 toilets, no ac). Now we're overall in and acclimated, but want to make it better.

I currently have a 1.5~ meter long stick, and no idea what to do with it. Any ideas?
Title: Re: Israel
Post by: King Playa on September 16, 2015, 10:58:50 am
17 guys and 1.5 meter stick?

Honestly, the answer should be obvious. All you need is a camera and you can make a fortune on the internet.

Yup. Only a fifteen minute walk over to the Old City Arab Quarters, and the stabbings started off right near us.

Yaaaaaaaaay....

Why? (Aside from the incredibely likeliness that theyre gonna ask you for money and then hop away, magically healed?)
Title: Re: Israel
Post by: King Playa on October 12, 2015, 06:32:22 pm

They could have a concealed weapon. I mean, if they're old or obviously disabled its a different story, but a limp is usually a pretty good indication they've got something in the waistband.

I remember seeing this dude on the west side walking funny while wearing a hoodie once. In July. Walked the other way real quick. Seen his mugshot on the news a few days later.

Title: Re: Israel
Post by: Not Aman on January 12, 2016, 06:41:27 am
גוי is hebrew ha ha, not yiddish.

Umm, I'll be honest, I dont really know. In general, the trips I know of are done by Birthright, which isnt really for nonjews. May take me a bit to research ha ha. Probably be one of the government sponsored ones, those are really good and have an english tour set as well.

Wait, wait, wait... Forge ol' buddy... you're asking a guy, who took a tour that abandoned him in the middle of nowhere, to hook you up on a tour?!? - and he's a Jew!

I don't want to think how a Goy tour would end!  XD

Play-by-Posts just need a post a day (from each player) to keep them going, so while quality posts are awesome, it's consistency that carries a game.

I appreciate that, I'll give it a shot.

(I do still feel bad that I was barely present for the ones Seth kindly invited me to ... between being busy, unfocused, and self-conscious, I haven't RPed much in quite a while. Still, I'm trying to get over my hang-ups and just write--quality or not--so it might help me.)
