In Israel:
You have to pay extra close attention when driving. You might be driving down the road and the car in front of you will just stop and park his car. You'll have everybody honking at you if you didn't forsee this stop and give yourself room to merge before coming to a complete stop.
The horn is more considered more valuable than your brakes. People will honk at you even before the light turns green if you aren't rolling yet.
Most people drift from one lane to the other. Be careful for the buses. They don't have any respect for a little Dihatsu.
They say there are driving rules here, just not sure the Israelis like to follow them.
You have to pay 5 shekels to use the grocery cart at the supermarket. You can get your money back if you return the cart. Guess this was the only way to ensure that they will bring the shopping cart back.
The shopping cart wheels move freely in each direction (instead of just going straight ahead). Many people walk down the aisles with their carts sideways because its too hard to keep them going straight ahead.
Emergency vehicles (police, ambulance, fire) always have thier lights flashing when they are driving. They will turn the siren on if they want you to move out of the way.
Cable TV has no commercials. I guess it's illegal to advertise here when you are paying for TV.
