WoinParis: GTG in Belleville? LOL

GTG in Belleville sounds great for a new thread.

Menachem, one of the statistics that Israel refuses to communicate is the number of people who are disappointed with life in Israel and who go home after a year or two. This is not at all to disparage Israel, but to point out that many <i>alya</i> candidates do not have realistic expectations as to how life will be in Israel. I have read that the French return rate is about 40%.

But yes, they eat couscous in both places!

The one time I was in Israel I was invited for dinner by Israelis.

They chose a japanese restaurant.... ah !

Whereas I had Japanese food in Cairo.

When I was in Tokyo, Japanese friends took me to a deluxe French dinner...
I wanted to cry, because I had to pay twice the price of the same thing I ate in Paris.

IMD probably uses no hands or utensils at all to slurp couscous! And while doing so he thinks deviant thoughts of the Israeli connotation of the food.
