Moving to Israel in 2 months. Any MP.net advice?

What else did you buy?

Actually I didn't buy anything but that caused a bunch of vendors to get very angry.

Definitely visit the wailing wall - there really is something there. Yad Vashem is a must too. Haven't been to Latrun yet, but I will in October - and yes its open to non Israelis, all museums are. I found them a freindly, hospitable bunch. Get in touch with some of the Israeli posters here and get them out for a coffee or a beer.
Like any place that you're going to be in for a while, grab a day sack, guide book, camera, sunscreen and water and go walkabout, get involved with the locals, visit a few bars, grab a coffee and falafel - dont spend all your evenings indoors. Education isn't just learning.

Go to the dead sea! and if you can, take a few days and go south to Eliat.

Also YOU MUST taste their youghurt icecream

Cough... Dubai... Cough...

I've been to the UAE, Oman and Jordan with an israeli stamp in my passport.

did they probe your **** for contraband and spy equipment?

I would suggest ditching Jerusalem and moving to Tel Aviv.

Seriously though, keep in mind that if there will be a flare up in the Gaza Strip again, Ashkelon is within Grad rocket range.

This x20.

I didn't know you were juice. If you haven't already I would recommend getting chopped; this way when you have the inevitable bathhouse scene you don't look out of place.

Why are you going to Israel for six months? I can't believe no one has asked that. Useless ****s.

[California Joe]

For school. Duh.

[Zorro C9]

Oh yeah, it's in the first post.

[Macs.]

Yeah, what do you think ?

Because he likes Jews so much ? Oh yeah, sure.

you do know that having an israeli stamp on your passport will effectively deny you visit to,let say,at least a quarter of world's countries?

Nope, didn't know that. What's the best way around this? Only Middle East countries I'd want to someday visit are Egypt, Iraq and Turkey. Problem?

Yes. What country are you from? Some countries will give you a spare passport to use.

Iraq...Problem.
Turkey...no (although that's Asia Minor)
Egypt...is mostly in Africa and no problem.

As for the rest, the funny side of the Middle east is Beyond the Tigris.

For the stamp...if you have a US passport the people will stamp on a piece of paper and put it in your passport.

I got funny looks at Ben Gourion when they saw my passport.
