    I hear that the UK has changed considerably in the past few years, and I'd probably feel like a foreigner in my 'homeland'.

    Great post. I came here in August 1999. Never been back.

    Apparently England is now overrun with immigrants, and roughly 50% of people are "chavs". Admittedly I don't really know what a "chav" is, but they sound like a sub-spieces best avoided.

  2. wellllllllllllllll: lets see: a simple trip to tel aviv and ive got : small pocketbook with all the stuff that most of us women carry with us; a light weight sweater/wrap cause temp changes/air conditioner levels differ in different places and the busses are like antartic; two 500 mil. bottles of water from home since its cheaper then buying drinking water every where i go; a snack since its cheaper then buying croissants or bagels or whatever fastfood stuff is around and less fattening; toilet paper cause here in the middle east there is never enough; stuff that i've bought while waiting for a bus/friend/bought at the market for dinner/stuff i picked up at the bazaar/pastries to take back home/change of clothes if im going to be at a different place in the evening entailing different attire (change of shirt/etc).... its all in a regular school style backpack.

    everyone i know goes around like this. even business men. its more convenient when taking public transport then those james bond briefcases, or tote bags and pocketbooks, and better then having everything in plastic bags like the little old ladies or polish refugees....

    backpacks (day packs) are standard gear here, not just among students. real backpackers have those big packs on them/or over stuffed day packs cause they dont want to leave all their more important stuff in a hostel/cheapy hotel.

    .........and why do u care anyhow?

    I could not care less what you are lugging around in Israel. And btw, what's wrong with "polish refugees" :ermm:

    I hope would have been nothing wrong with them, if they only existed :)
