What do you mean, for example?
- ars 7y agoIf they think you didn't dress your child properly they'll tell you. Or they'll hear you talking about something and give you advice on what to do without any embarrassment on that fact that they overheard you. You're fighting with your teen, in the US everyone would turn away and pretend not to hear, in Israel they'll just openly talk to you about their own teen and what they did, etc. and then half the bus would chime in. They're all really nice about it mind you, just trying to help. Israelis think of everyone as part of their personal family, even strangers are really distant relatives, is I guess a good way to put it.
