The biggest difference was the food. Of course everything is Kosher *spelling* and honestly, I didn't really like any of it. There was a lot of fish. Nothing like I've tasted. And an absolute TON of bread. I ate more bread in that ten days than I do in a year. I guess the reason I am so grossed out by the food is because of my experience on the plane. On the way to Tel Aviv from England and back we had to eat the Kosher food. First they served raw fish, and then after we were finshed, they took it away and served scrambled eggs. The fish stunk and the eggs were runny....neddless to say I didn't eat either. Anyway, I ended up getting sick from that. Which made the plane ride absolutely unbearable.

Ok, enough about the food. Most of the other things weren't too different. Of course there was a lot of people walking around covered more than us, but otherwise it's not much different than what you'd think. In the fields there are a lot of children who don't go to school, they are shepherds.

I wish I could explain everything, but it was such a huge experience, that I can't cover it all. But if you have any other questions, prefferably specific ones, then just let me know.
