Re: Do and don't in Palestine

Don'ts:
- eat or drink during the month of Ramadan in public before IFTAR (fast breaking meal)
- Refuse to drink something if you are invited somewhere / visiting somebody
- ask for half a glass to drink (e.g. tea, juice). This is considered unpolite.



Do:
- bargin
- "great" people whenever you can (Marhaba, Hello, ... foreign or local language - this does not matter)
- accept invitations, having guests is part of the Arabic culture

Re: Do and don't in Palestine

Does any one know if there is a time limit if you want to live in ramallah?  Or can we as Americans just stay as long as we want?  Do we need a visa?
