我跟23岁环游16国的以色列室友聊了聊,看看她在想什么

2020年04月27日 ertland澳洲打工度假





3月份在维州一家橘子园上班,隔壁屋是个23岁的以色列小姐姐,目前旅行过16个国家,我很好奇她是怎么做到的,所以有了以下采访。问题是我草拟,英文版回答全部由她自己书写,中文版由我翻译。


刚开始了解到她的故事很酸,想吃又吃不到葡萄的那种酸,比自己年轻的小姑娘做到了自己梦想的事情,心里又嫉妒又羡慕。


但是跟她聊完之后,奇迹般地反而心平气和了下来,不是因为她的故事不精彩,而是跟她相处的这一个多月,能真切地感受到她去过那么多地方不是噱头,不是挂在嘴边的炫耀,她就是在坚信和践行这种生活方式的,她只是选择了一条自己想走的路而已,虽然在我们看来是少有人走的一条路,但是对她而言再平常不过。



我很欣赏她的执着和勇气,很喜欢她里面的一句话,We don’t have to do everything on the same time, because we are different. 可能有人看了会想去旅行,这很正常,我脑袋里已经把世界各地翻来覆去走马观花旅游个遍了,但别着急冷静下来还是那句话这是你想要的生活吗?这是你追求的向往的奋斗的享受的生活吗?如果是,那就去吧,不要犹豫。如果不是,那就过好你现在的生活吧,说不定这正是世界某个角落的某群人正向往的生活。


这些问题和答案是我们相处一个月每天抽时间磨出来的,每次Bar写完我们都会交流,让我更好地理解她的真实想法,希望我的翻译尽量做到这一点。我每次看一遍内心都有一种感动,感觉内心有跟羽毛在轻轻地挠痒痒,很舒服很享受,希望你们也能静下来细细品。


1.Could you please tell me a bit about your life before travelling?

Ok so not everyone knows much about Israel,my country. Before travelling I served for two years in the Israeli navy, it’s mandatory. Imagine you are celebrating your 18th birthday and a week after , you find yourself with 50 other people that you never met before, wearing green unif uniforms and doing exactly what the commander is telling you, without asking qustions, because that is what you need to do.

So it took me some time to understand, same for you as a reader to know me who never met me before.



For me being in the navy was a great experience. I met people who became my best friends, I had to deal with so many things that in the end made me stronger and mature. A wonderfull lesson for life, sometimes you cannot choose everything but you always have the option to choose how to look and take the things coming into your life, kind of prespective. I learnd a lot about humanity, my society, about myself.



When I finished the military service, which is something that you wish for, maybe it was my wish come ture when I tried to blow air on my birthday cake candals..because you feel free again, be able to do what you want and how much you want. Freedom!



So usually Israelis go travelling aftrer the army, we call it “THE BIG TRIP”. I chose to wait a bit before saying goodbye to my family!


I moved to a speicial place in the desert, which is 4h drive from my house(Israel is realy small so 4h is alot!!!) and started to work in agriculture with 20 people. Why is it a speicial place do you ask? So in Israel we call it KIBBUTZ which is a small community, where everyone knows each other, around 150 familis. 


There is a dinning room, 3 meals a day and all the people from the  KIBBUTZ eating there together;there is a laundery room, you need to write your numer on the shirt, put it on the match color basket and after a few days you will find it ready in your place. We celebrate holidays and speicial days together, like a big family. 


You will be in more shock after I tell you that - evreyone get the same salary here! No matter which kind of work you do in the KIBBUTZ you will get the same as others. 


So after almost half a year there, I started my never ending trip.


1.可以稍微介绍下你旅游前的生活吗?

很多人都不了解我的祖国-以色列,在以色列,服兵役是强制性的。在开始旅游之前,我在海军服兵役两年。你可以想想一下,就在你庆祝完18岁生日后的一周,你发现你和50个陌生人待在一起,穿着绿色制服,毫无疑问地执行上级的命令,因为这就是你在军队需要做的。我花了些时间才理解这些,就如同从未谋面的读者你们也需要些时间才能了解我一样。


服兵役对我来说是很好的一段经历,我认识了很多人,有些成了我的好朋友;我做了很多事情,让我变得更加强大和成熟。我学到的一点就是有时候你并不能选择你的全部生活,但是你可以选择不同的视角去看待和面对生活。同时我也加深了对人性、社会和对我自己的了解。


终于,我结束了兵役,可能是因为我在生日时许的愿望终于实现了,我感觉重获自由,可以去做我想做的事情。真自由啊!


通常以色列人结束兵役后会去旅行,我们叫做big trip。我决定多跟家里人待一段时间再去旅游,于是我搬到了离家4h车程的位于沙漠里的一个很特殊的地方,开始跟其他20个人一起在农业里工作。


你可能会问为什么特殊呢?这个地方在以色列叫做Kibbutz,这里住着大概150个家庭,每个人都互相认识;这里有餐厅,每天三顿饭,所有人都在一起吃饭;这里有洗衣房,你只需要把你的号码写在衣服上并放到相应的篮子里,过几天你就会收到干净的衣服;这里所有人一起庆祝节日,就像一个大家庭。


我接下来告诉你的会令你大吃一惊-所有人不管做什么工作,都会挣到同样的工资。


结束了Kibbutz的工作后,我就开始了我的从未停止的旅行。


2. Which countries have been to untill now?

Greece,India,Vietnam,Philippine,France,Holland,Germany,Spain,Portugal,Cyprus and Turkey- by the sea with a yacht, Morrocco, Austria, Srilanka, Singapore and now- Australia.



2. 到目前为止你去过哪些国家?

希腊,印度,越南,菲律宾,法国,荷兰,德国,西班牙,葡萄牙,塞浦路斯,土耳其,摩洛哥,奥地利,斯里兰卡,新加坡,现在正在澳大利亚。


3. How the idea that I want to travel around the world came to your mind?

After I finished my first trip which was to India,Vietnam and Philippine, I got a chance to fly to France.I had a job in one of the ski resorts with a group of Israeli people. After a week of work I thought “oh I’m already here, so I can stay and keep going wherever I want.” (first ski resort)


Then I went by myself to another ski resort which is in a different town. I took train and bus and after a few hours I was there..I knew a friend from the trip to india that stayed there, he told me that I can come and stay with them, and do snowboarding together. After I arrived he said, so many people told me “yea we are coming” but no one really came except you. (second ski resort)


After almost two weeks, I talked with another friend who stayed in an apartmant in another ski resort, so I moved there with a train and hiched hike all the way to the pick of the mountain. (third ski resort)


It’s easy if you make it so.



But wait..I didnt finish my advanture. I found two French familis to stay with, and did some woofing. It’s the perfect way to travel around the world, meet pepole, be a guest with an option to see from a close look diffrent lifestyle, connection between family members, routine of life that are not mine but I can be a part of, for a short time. 


Someone on my travels told me- Travelling make options. Everything is open.To reach that I chose to put myself in a spontaneous place, so I have the option to say YES.


For the whole year I did’t try to look for long term jobs, so i had to find my own way to still make money and be the manager of myself..must say -you have to be creative.


I had so many places I want to see, so why not? There are always excuses. The right time is NOW!


3. 你是怎么产生我要去环游世界的想法的?

我第一次旅行是去印度、越南和菲律宾,之后我得到了一个去法国的机会--和一群以色列人在滑雪场的工作。在这里工作一周后,我心里想,哇哦,我既然已经在这里,那么我可以继续去我想去的地方。


后来,我自己搭车去了另一个滑雪场。在印度旅游时认识的一个朋友在那工作,然后介绍了这份工作给我。几个小时后,当我到了那里,他说很多人都说来了来了,但是除了我,没有一个人真的来了。


两周后,我联系上一个待在其他滑雪场的朋友,于是我又搭火车和顺风车一路去到了山上,开始了第三份滑雪场的工作。


如果你开始行动,那么一切都会变得自然而然。


我在法国的旅途并没有止步于此,后来我去了换宿--换宿真的是近距离短期体验当地人生活方式的一种完美方式。


旅途中有人曾告诉我:旅行创造机会,任何事都可以尝试。我始终秉持着谦卑的心态去把握住说yes的机会。

这一整年,我都没有去找长期的稳定的工作,所以我必须找到适合自己的赚钱方法--自己做自己的老板,我不得不承认赚钱需要点想象力。


我有太多想去的地方了,为什么不现在呢?生活总有借口,而最好的时间就是现在。


4. What were you doing during travelling? Visiting some hot tourist attractions or ?

Usually every my travelling has a theme, which will be connected to one of my hobbies.


Snowbording--my trip to France,Alps,Austria.



Surfing--to Philippine,Morrcco, SriLanka,Portugal.



Intresting cultures and traditions to India,Morrocco.



When you have more than just tourist attractions, you can do what you love in addition to exploring a new place, meeting new people, searching for historical places and more.


I believe there is a reason why a touristic place becomes touristic and it’s maybe a thing you don’t want to miss. I’ll try to search before and to see if there is something else that can be intresting for me, more than just “you must go there”, especially if I had short time. 


One thing for sure- it will be hard to find me doing shopping in the big mall.


4. 你旅行的时候一般做什么,去旅游景点吗还是?

通常我的每次旅行都有一个主题,一般会跟我的爱好有关。比如去法国、阿尔卑斯山、奥地利--滑雪;去菲律宾、摩洛哥、斯里兰卡、葡萄牙--冲浪;去印度、摩洛哥--感受特殊的文化和传统。


除了旅游景点外,你可以做你喜欢的事情的同时探索一个新地方、遇见新的朋友、寻找历史遗迹等。


我相信旅游景点之所以成为热点是有原因的,我或许不想错过。去之前我会先查找是否那里有我感兴趣的东西,而不仅仅是 --“因为是旅游景点,我必须去那里”。


但有一点很确定,那就是你不会看到我在大商场购物的。


5.  Where do you live,what do you eat? Does it cost a lot? What is the most expense during your travelling? 

Depens on the country but usually I will try to look for hostels or Airbnb.I have friends from the world so I can always go to their places and stay for free.

Kitchen is one of the most importat things for me when I’m looking for a place to stay, so I can cook for myself and my friends,choose all the things I wish to make and just buy what I want.You can save soooo much money. 


Once in a while I’ll go to a resturant but better to keep it special, or if there are things that you realLy like and don’t want to skip in, you can afford it. For example I realy like good coffee, love it. So I know and feel okay to spend on a great coffee place. It’s important to find the small things that makes you feel good.


The most expense it’s the flight and it depends on which kind of trip is it..


Number two is the accommodation and after the food. For exmple I made a roadtrip in Europe from Germany to Portugal via France and Spain so actually more then half of the trip I slept in the car and the rest in hostels..we cooked in the car and sometimes we ate outside.



5. 旅行的时候你住在哪里,吃什么,需要很多钱吗,什么花费最大?

每个国家都不一样,不过通常我会选择青旅或者airbnb。每个地方我都有朋友,所以我也可以去他们那里免费住几天。


我找住宿的时候很看重是否有厨房,这样我可以自己做饭,买自己想吃的食材,可以省一大笔钱。有时我会去餐馆,但一般是在特殊的场合或者有我特别喜欢的我不想错过的东西。比如我真的很喜欢咖啡,所以对我来说去一个好的咖啡馆不是问题。简而言之,在生活中发现一些小确信很重要。


最大的花费是飞机票,不过也取决于哪种行程。

第二花费是住宿,第三是吃饭。比如,我在欧洲公路旅行,从德国到葡萄牙,途径法国和西班牙,超过一半的时间都吃住在车里,其余时间吃住旅馆


6. How do you earn your money for travelling? Is it a problem for you?

Earn more- Spend less.


I never took money from my parents for my travels.

During the military service I got a premission to work on weekends so I could save some money for my first trip. Most of my jobs were temporary or short term that’s how I could manage to have more than two flights a year.


It’s easy to spend your money more than earn it..I always have in my mind the idea or the fact that I want to travel more,see more and explore more. I don’t need much, just enough for living and enjoy the place I’m staying at.



I work hard, I can guess most of you.. I belive in a way of waiting for the big things like my travels, new surfboard or guitar, somthing meaningfull that can be useful for the present and the future.


No malls or shopping.I’m really into second hand cloths and products.. I don’t eat outside so much, but once in a while, yes, its a way of life I chose to myself.  


if you know how to save your money you can live and travel for many years with an amount of money..after I understood this I’ll say it’s not a problem for me.


6. 你旅行的钱哪来的?钱困扰过你旅行吗?

一句话--赚得多,花的少。


先我从来没有跟我爸妈要过钱旅行。在服兵役的时候,我被允许周末的时候工作,这为第一次旅行攒下了一些钱。我的大部分工作都是短期的临时工,这样我可以自由安排时间去旅行。花钱容易赚钱难。但我脑海里时刻有一个想法,那就是我想去更多地方,而如果只是为了生存和享受我所在的地方的话,我其实并不需要消费那么多。


我工作很努力,我想在阅读此文的你们也是。我始终坚信一种生活理念--静候生活中


有意义的重大的事情,比如我的旅行、新的冲浪板或吉他;很少去大商场购物,我很喜欢二手衣物;不经常在外吃饭,偶尔去餐馆。我这就是我选择的生活方式。


如果你知道如何省钱,你可以用不多的钱旅行很多年。当我想通了这一点后,我发现钱对我的旅行来说不是一个问题。


7. Do you feel safe outside?

Yes, feel safe -when I’m not thinking about scenes from scary movies.


As a person who travels by herself ,I must say that I have found myself in some situations where fear and bad thoughts couldn’t help me.


Sometimes you must listen to the voices inside, use all your senses for important decisions. Because you are the only one in the situation, you need do find the right solutions. 


Does this person look dangerous for me? Am I in a safe place? Don’t fall into social pressure. Don’t do things that you don’t want to. I’m trying to put myself with people I trust and make me feel good in a good environment.



Some tips- Search for flights in a daytime landing, don’t walk in the night alone, take care of your personal stuff, take a lock with you, if you go out always take with you valuble stuff. Try to use public transportation which is cheaper and you have more people aroud you, ask questions when you need- communicate. 


Think positive but don’t be naive.


7.你觉得安全吗?

我觉得很安全-只要我不去想恐怖电影里的场景就行,哈哈哈。


独自旅行中,我不得不承认很多时候害怕和担忧一点用都没有。有时你必须倾听内心的声音,动用所有的感觉去做一些决定,因为是我自己身处其中,我必须找到解决方法。这个人有危险吗?我在的地方安全吗?不要陷入社会压力中,不要做自己不想做的事。我会尽量待在让自己感觉良好的地方,并且和我信任的人待在一起。


一些旅行小建议:选择白天落地的航班,晚上不要在外游荡,看好自己的个人物品,随身带一把锁,外出时带上贵重物品,尽量使用公共交通(便宜而且人多,有需要可以随时询问别人)。总之,保持乐观但不天真。


8. What is the biggest change to you after these travellings? 

Independent feeling, the fact that I can be anywhere in the world with enough skills to get along.


Everytime I’m going to a new place, my traveling bag becomes bigger not because of more cloths and products but more experience ,more skills, knowledge, stories from people around me, mistakes, love, friendships, new ideas ,challenges, dreams which all make me feel stronger.  


With this bag I’ll continue to next trip with more power.



8.你觉得这些旅行带给你的最大变化是什么?

独立的感觉--就是感觉我有能力去到世界的任何一个地方。


每次去到一个新的地方,我的旅行包都会变大但不是因为更多的衣服物品而是更多的经验、技能、知识、故事、错误、爱、友情、想法、挑战和梦想,这些都使得我更加强大,使我更有力量继续我的旅途


9. What makes you keep going ? Will you keep doing it for next few years? What do you plan for your future? 

I’m addicted.It’s always exciting to start a new trip, see things I never saw before.I hope I’ll never get tired travelling around the world. I still have a list of places I want to travel in the next few years, So yes I belive I’ll keep doing it. 


The most important thing I wish to myself is to keep doing what I want to do. I feel in the last two years I followed myself and tried to reach my goals by traveling while keep improving myself with hobbies and small things I want to learn.



My plan for future? Maybe the future has a plan for me..I hope I’ll find the way to travel as much as I want, maybe I’ll be a writer and I’ll travel around the world and share my pictures and articles, maybe I’ll start copywriting or designing courses,maybe I will have a second hand shop with really cool stuff and coffee machine inside. 


I’m staying right now in a farm in Australia, writing under the coronavirus days, picking mandarines for living. I have so much time with myself, to think, so much time that sometime I think I’m crazy. But I’m not.


I remembered one day I was thinking about the present and the future and I was asking myself- should I put a limit to my trips? Should I stop when I’ll reach 25 or 26? I can guess even if put a limit, life is changeable, so better to live and see. I have so many ideas for the future, I’m planing to follow myself. 


9.什么吸引你一直旅游?你会一直旅行下去吗?未来的计划是什么?

我有点上瘾。开启一段新的旅程、去看我从未见过的东西,总是令我很兴奋,我希望我从不会感到疲倦。我有一个清单,列着接下来几年我想去的地方,我想我还会一直做下去。


最重要的是我希望我能继续做我想做的事情。这也是在过去的两年里,我真切感受到的--追随自己的内心去实现自己的旅行梦想的同时又能兼顾自己的爱好和不断学习。


我对未来的计划?说不定未来已经给我准备好了呢!我希望我能用自己的方式尽可能多地去旅行。或许我会成为一个旅行家,边旅行边分享我的故事;或许我会开始设计课程;或许我会开一家超级酷的二手店,当然少不了咖啡机。


写这篇文章的时候正直澳洲疫情爆发,我待在农场,摘橘子赚钱,我有很多时间独自思考,有时我觉得自己疯了,但没有。记得有一天,我在思考现在和将来,我问我自己要不要给我的旅行设个期限?要不要到二十五六岁就停下来了?但我可以预料到就算我设了期限,生活也在变,所以最好的办法是享受当下,边走边看。我对未来有太多的想法,我打算追随自己的内心。


10. How do your parents and friends think about your traveling? Do you care about how they think what you are doing?

They are not surprised when I’m telling them about an upcoming trip. I can guess they can see how good it is for me and how I can do the things in my way.


Part of my friends already study in university, while others are working in permanent or short time jobs. We are not all the same and this is one of the most beautiful things.We don’t have to do everything on the same time, because we are different. 



Of course my parents are asking me about my studying and a proper job,but I don’t feel so much pressure..maybe beacuse I’m quite sure in my way. Usually I’ll reply to the questions that it’s still not my time and I still want to travel and there are so many things I want to do. 


I can also say that they can see how hard I’m working,I know how to manage myself and be independant, control my money I have, so they trust me, they can see I’m a responsible person, there is nothing to worry about. Most of the people I know always look at me and kind of proud of what I’m doing what.


I care about what my parents think ,because I belive they have more experience than me, they are older and went through many things during the years. It’s important to listen and from their advises to choose what to take with me without ignoring my own voice. 


10.你一直旅游,家人朋友对此是什么看法?你在乎他们的看法吗?

每次我告诉他们我要去旅行的时候,他们一点都不奇怪。我猜是因为他们看得见我从中获益良多并且知道我一个人能搞得定。


我一些朋友在上大学,还有一些在工作,短期的长期的都有。我们并没有在做一样的事情,我想这是生活的最美妙之处。我们没必要保持相同步调,因为我们每个人都不一样。


当然我爸妈也会问学业啊工作啊这些问题,说实话我没什么压力,可能是因为我比较坚信我自己的想法。通常我会问答他们,考虑这些问题还早,我还想旅行,我还有很多事情想做。


而且我认为他们也明明白白地知道我工作有多努力,我能照顾好自己,管好自己的钱,独立自主有责任感地生活,所以他们相信我,没什么好担心的。我认识的很多人对我在做的事情也感到很自豪。


当然我也关心我爸妈是怎么想的,因为他们年长,他们经历过这么多年的风风浪浪,他们有更多经验。倾听很重要,在自己想法的基础上,从他们的意见里,适当汲取。


11. Most people have a dream to travel around the world but most of them say they have to wait untill they were rich and had enough time. How do you think about it?

I’ll say you don’t have to be rich, what is rich? And How much money do I need to have to be called rich? It’s all depend on you, how do you plan your trip.


Let’s start from:

--flight-usually direct flights are the most expensive, you can find flights with transition at a cheaper price, you can also make a long transition for 2-3 nights and enjoy another country on your way.For example my flight from Sri Lanka to Australia was through Singapore.I was thinking to myself, hey its a nice opportunity to check Singapore so I spent 2 days in town, looking for interesting activities. 


--budget- it’s goood to know how much you want to provide for your trip, but remember, you don’t have to spend all..even if you meant to do it.


-accommodation- fancy hotel? 5 stars? If you are planning to be more outside than inside, skip it. Find something good that suits to your standard. Usually I look for accommodation at AIRBNB\ hostels.

 On airbnb I can choose any house I want, I can see pictures, recommendations,I can cook, make a special recipe, colorful breakfast or romantic dinners ,even takeaway from a resturant and eat at home!

 Hotels is a wonderfull way to meet new people, there are always people from all around the world..I met amazing people who became my friends, from France, Germany, Canada..and now china(:


-transport- public transportation can be a cheap and intresting way to reach your place..somtime the train can take you through an amazing road, maybe accros the forest or the river. You must check before you choose the Taxi.


-food- try to search for local resturants, cook yourself, go to the market, you can always find someting you didn’t see or never tasted before.



-activities- you don’t have to do everything. 

Somtimes there are expensive activities, you can choose from the list which one you like the most.

Go out, have a walk, it’s nice to find things by yourself, let the phone rest in your bag, it’s nice to check your communication skills, ask people around where they can reccomend you to go.


Try at least once. There are so many things to see outside, any amount of money cannot replace the experiences I had in my trips.


11.很多人都有环游世界梦,但是大部分都说 等我有钱了等我有时间了再去,你怎样看待这种想法?

其实你没必要很有钱,怎么定义有钱呢?多少钱才能称得上有钱呢?其实全都取决于你自己,以及如何规划自己的行程。


--航班:通常直航最贵,但你总能找到转机的廉航,甚至可以在第三个国家停留两三天,趁机在这旅游下。比如我从斯里兰卡到澳洲的航班,途径新加坡,我在想这是个不错的机会,可以去逛逛新加坡,于是我就去了,花了两天在镇里探寻有意思的东西。


--预算:最好明确这次旅行你能支配多少钱,但是记住就算你可以,也没必要全部花完。


--住宿:高大上的五星酒店?如果你打算多去外面看看,那就忽略它。你总能找到适合自己的地方。我通常去Airbnb和青年旅馆找住宿。

在Airbnb,我可以选择自己想住的房子,可以做饭,学做特别的菜谱,做五彩斑斓的早餐,做浪漫的晚餐,或者打包在家吃。

而在青年旅馆里我遇见了很多有意思的人,来自世界各地,有一些成为了我的好朋友,有法国的,德国的,加拿大的,现在多了中国的。


--交通:去一个地方,搭乘公共交通,既有趣又便宜。有时火车能带你穿行一段美妙的路程,或许穿过森林,或许跨过河流。选择出租车之前,值得一查。


--食物:去探寻当地小吃,或者自己做,去菜市场看看,你总能发现你从未见过从未尝过的东西。


--活动:你没必要什么都去做。有些死贵的活动,从中筛选一些自己最感兴趣的去试下就好。最好的活动是,走出去,自己去发现有意思的东西,手机就别拿出来了,多去交流,问问当地人附近有啥推荐的。


至少这样尝试一次。外面的世界那么精彩,不管多少钱都代替不了我这些旅行体验。


12. Israel is a remote coutry filled with mystery and conflict to me. Could you please describe a bit true Israel for me?

Israel is a small country in the middle east, we are 8 million citizens, our languge is Hebrew, a Jews country.I’m not sure how small it is for Chinese people, so lets say I can drive from the northest point to the southest point by 7-8 hours. This is small. 



Snow in the north, green hills and forests, medditerian sea in the west with nice waves.Dead sea which is the lowest place in the whole world(!!!), desert, yellow-brown sandy mountains, road in the middle of nowhere. 



Israel is mysterious, sometimes for me as well. It’s about history and about territory and who was here first. There is a conflict with Arabs who are living inside Israel and with Arabs outside around Israel, that’s why we have a strong army since Israel established (1948) Enermies all around, we need to be ready for defence at any time.


About religion,in Israel most of the citizens are Jews, among whom just 30% are religeous, some are traditionals and others can say they belive in nothing. 


Let’s say that people who are religeous cannot live together in harmony with those non-religeous, we are all Israelis but the religion and how people see their lives make a big gap between us.


For example,public- transportation is shut down on weekend, why? - because in the Bible it says you must rest on Saturday(weekend is Friday and Saturday) So we all need to accept it even though not everyone belive in Bible. 


There are towns known as places with a high population of religion, usually they walk in the streets with covered body, long skirts\pants, hat or kerchief, woman will be sperate from men.


As a non- religeous woman,I believe I can choose what to wear and how I want to dress, so it doesn’t fit their rules. Even if it’s in my country I cannot go there, walk in the steet.


It’s the hardest question here! 


12.对我来说,以色列是遥远、暴力、冲突、宗教色彩混杂在一起的国家,可以说说你眼中的以色列吗?

以色列是中东的一个小国家,人口八百万,说希伯来语,犹太人居多。我不知道对比中国来说有多小,我这样形容吧,从以色列最北开车到最南只需要七八个小时,这么小的一个国家。


北边有雪,有绵延的群山和森林;西边有波浪起伏的地中海;有死海,世界最低的地方;有沙漠,有黄沙遍布的山脉,有通向未知的公路。


以色列有时对我来说也很神秘,主要是关乎历史,关乎领地,关乎谁先来这儿的问题。以色列人和阿拉伯人--不管住在以色列内外--一直都有冲突。这也是为什么自从以色列建国以来一直强调军队的原因,我们必须随时做好战斗准备。


关于宗教,大部分以色列公民是犹太人,其中大概30%信教,有些非常传统,有些什么都不相信。

(我当时听着脑袋一团浆糊,后来试着用国内的民族来解释感觉容易理解点。就像国内每个人出生就是汉族或少数民族一样,由父母决定的,这个没得选,但是长大后你可以选择是否遵循本民族内的文化和传统。在以色列每个人出生要么是Jews,要么是Arabics,也是由父母决定的,但长大后你同样可以选择信奉教或者不信奉或者不完全信奉。) 


我这样说吧,信教的人跟不信教的人没法和平生活在一起。虽然我们都是以色列人,但是宗教和人们看待生活的方式在我们之间划了一条鸿沟。


比如,公共交通在周末停工,为什么?因为圣经里面说周六我们必须休息(以色列周末是周五周六)尽管不是每个人都信圣经但我们必须遵从。


有些地方绝大部分人都信教,一般走在街上的人都要裹住身体,穿长袖长裤,戴帽子,围头巾,女人不得和男人走在一起。我不信教,我觉得我有选择权,可以自己决定穿什么,显而易见这不符合他们的要求,所以尽管是在我自己的国家,我也不能去那里,更别说走在街上。


这个问题最难回答了!


13. Is there something else you want to share with me?

Make your wishes and dreams come true.


If you like my stories, sentences and words, if I made someone think a litte differently and maybe change something, more than happy to hear.

Feel free to email me---- [email protected]


13. 你有其他想跟我们分享的吗?

去实现自己的梦想吧!


如果你喜欢我的故事,或者只是某个句子,某个词,如果我让某个人的想法稍微改变了一点点,请大声告诉我。我很期待你们的故事。


欢迎发邮件给我:[email protected]


下期见!
