I think that things are getting better in Israel, and there are talks that the worst is over, so try to hold on for few more months in your country and hopefully something will come up. Have you considered doing something else, perhaps with less pay? | |||

| I think that at a time like this with unemployment, it would be better to stay in one's own country until things become better. At least you would get unemployment benefits to keep you alive. There is also the health insurance to consider, and you have the best health care in the world. A lot depends on marital status. It is very hard to be unemployed when you have a family and wife who is also not working. It is easier to move to another city or town than moving to another country. There is always work, you only need to lower your expectations. Also it is a good time to explore new possibilities and spend some time on professional studies And cut down on expenses. The car is the first thing to sacrifice. | ||

Well what can I say far too many sheep straying onto the roads I was contrasting the UK's ahem apparent 'bus service' with that of Israel's who in my experience have transport links second to none. They have even introduced a railway service with double decker carriages which makes our rail services look like Woodplumpton. Although the Israelis I spoke to felt the service was average to expensive it seemed extremely cheap to us tourists. | |||

But I give them one thing. The price is quite cheap by any European standards and a pensioner pays half the normal price. The plague now is the intensive use of mobile phones. You just have to hear all the secrets of the callers and their plans for the whole day. Women are the worst. They can talk for ever. Wonder how they manage to pay for it every month. As for the double decker railway carriage, the mobiles there work overtime. Sorry to go off topic like this. | |||

I don't consider it off topic, if it dissuades someone from thinking it will be rosy moving to England then peripheral information and contracts need to be drawn to gain a healthy perspective. The constant use of mobile phones is not a lot to do with the bus or train systems more to do with the culture. Israel initially embraced mobile phones in far greater numbers than the UK for many reasons, cost and the need to stay in touch with family and loved ones during times of crisis. | ||
