Freelancing abroad in the Holy Land for 18 days
Body milk is not soap - that’s shower cream. Or a cream bar. “Milk” is lotion but a lotion is “cream” (i.e. sun cream) - unless it’s just lotion.
Despite what you’re thinking, the Shaver2000 is a blow-dryer, and the AirJet is a water faucet.
Yes, that is shredded carrot in your marmalade, and grounds in your coffee. Coffee? or black coffee? Israeli coffee? Or Arabic coffee? Or Turkish coffee? All the same. You take a little cream? Oh, so you don’t want coffee - you want a cappuccino.
Yeah — of course bombs are bad, no: you never say bomb. Pagaz? is a tank bomb — yeah, this means something very good.
A Sharut is called a cab, but a cab is not a Sharut — that’s a taxi-cab. The Sharut is a mini-bus. But the bus is none of these. And you needed to get on #26, which just left.

Not to mention I realized I filled my travel-bottles up incorrectly, so now when I take a shower I have to remember:
“conditioner is really shampoo, shampoo is not shampoo but face wash, and shower gel is actually conditioner…”
