Can you tell us something about the area you
are come from?
I am from Haifa, Israel. It’s the 3rd largest city in
Israel. It’s a lovely city located on the northern
slopes of Mount Carmel and around Haifa Bay,
along the Mediterranean coast of Northern Israel.
The people in Haifa are heterogeneous, and
include Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and
Bahá’ís.
My wife is Czech, and we had lived together in
Israel for one year before we ended up moving to
the Czech Republic.”
What does your family think about the Czech
Republic? How is your Czech? What are your
neighbours like? Do you perhaps plan on moving
back?
I have been living here for more than 13 years, and
for now we don’t have any plans to move back to
Israel. I have two sons, the first was born in
Israel, and the other here, in the Czech Republic.
Unfortunately, my level of the Czech language is
still poor but I don’t have any particular difficulties
getting along on a daily basis, and I can get along
with my neighbours either way. My neighbours are
wonderful and very helpful. We get together from
time to time.
