Immigration:

Most likely you’ll get a bit of a grilling when you enter the country, about why you’re there, what you’re doing and possibly you’re life story!

 

Seriously, there is no need to worry, it’s totally normal. It’s best to have your hotel confirmation printed out and if you encounter any problems, call Doron’s parents and get them to speak with security. +972 54 543 1828.  It's also worth taking the invite with you, in case they question you about the wedding.

Negotiation:

Don’t be a ‘frier’ (Isreali word for a mug) and accept the first price! Ask them about their family, call them ‘friend’ and most importantly, get the price down.

 

The legend of the mega-chickpea:

You may or may not be aware of how humus is used in the motherland. In Israel it is seen as not only a dip, but a multipurpose gift from the gods. You will find it used as a moisturiser, hair sculpting wax, cooking aid and even as a sex enhancer. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the old humus while there.
