I'm leaving for Israel on Wednesday and I was wondering what would be a good idea to pack?
I was thinking four pairs of jeans
A winter coat
Couple of sweaters
Long sleeve shirts (they don't reveal my neck)
And a pair of Vans
Pyjamas
I don't reckon I need a skirt, and I don't have a skirt that would be appropriate for winter... what do you guys think?

I'd pack a skirt and a nice set of slacks that match one another reasonably well, just in case you find yourself in a religious neighborhood or want to go to synagogue. You can wear the skirt over the trousers, which will keep you both modest and warmer than you'd otherwise be. A pair of nice-ish shoes would also help.
Clothing is very expensive in Israel, I hear, so don't plan to shop there for things that you need. Just about the only clothing that's at reasonable or low prices is religious clothing -- kippot and tallitot for men, scarves/snoods/hats for women. If you do happen to love scarves, budget to buy one while you're there.

Btw if your in Jerusalem near Center 1 (Or the main Bus station) is a gas station attached to "hello taiman" arguably the best Shwarma in Israel.
Have fun!

It sounds awful! DP, I loved your photo album on Facebook (yeah, I'm a creeper biggrin ). It looks like you had a good time and saw really interesting stuff.

You don't know what shwarma is? Imagine the tastiest lamb spiced with herbs unknown from across the Middle East. Now place it in a floury, warm pitta bread and add all the humus and salad you can bare! (optional, of course, for the salad. Humus is necessary. xD) You will not eat anything else, ever.

OOooh, so kinda like a Jewish gyros? Sounds tasty. I was likening it to this dish at the Thai food place by my home, it's called larb. How can something with such a disgusting name be delicious? I dunno...it's weird.

To add my $0.02, I didn't think shwarma was that great. But I do love Israeli food.

I have a photo album on facebook? I"m really going to have to check that out. EDIT: Just checked it, none of my pics are Israel based.
