A memo for dear Asians who are traveling and/or staying in Jerusalem:
1. You will receive freebies from both Arabs and Israelis
2. You will receive compliments every day i.e. “Chinese Barbie”
3. You’re new name is Ni-hao
4. You will be touched wherever you go
5. You will feel like you are in a photo shoot every time you walk down the street or wait on the bench for the train
6. People will try to kiss you
7. You will hear many inappropriate comments i.e. sexual references to the family jewels
8. You will be sexually harassed
9. You will receive marriage proposals from ten different men in less than half an hour (really)
10. You will have stalkers who follow you into shops even after you say no.
So prepare yourself and learn how to be rude snob. No doesn’t mean no in Jerusalem, regarding this manner.
