I love how direct and open people are in Israel. Maybe it's the heat or the toughness people acquire from living in a tense environment - but it exists for better or for worse. This can go into two streams - one where people are rude and hurt your feelings (or ask you (ahem - me) to take a shower with them after knowing me for 2 whole days - what chutzpah!) or where people are warm and don't bull shit you too much and expect the same from you. People are not of afraid of one another. It taught me to be a little bit more direct, to stand up for myself, and to live a little bit more.
