I moved to Israel for a year and a half. It was difficult to learn Hebrew, especially because all Israelis wanted to practice their English with me. There are also huge cultural differences, but less so because of the common religious background. The most difficult transition was actually moving back to the states. In both situations it took about 6 months to adjust and feel comfortable. Now I go back and forth between the two countries. have fun and best of luck. as we say in hebrew, "nesiah tovah" or good travels.

Americans moving to another country Hey, I was just wondering if there are any previous americans on here that have moved to another country (or canada). I wanted to know how the whole transition feels, do you fit in well? have you made lots of friends? Ive thought alot about moving to Vancouver after im out of the army, heard its really nice and the closest thing to amsterdam. Id like to move there (amster.) but it would probably be hard to live a life with everyone speaking dutch and your speaking english. Rating: 5
