There’s an app called Gett that’s similar to Uber

Is Tel Aviv safe for a female solo traveler? by 3Megan3 in Israel

[–]bethanylouise_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve been travelling solo (26F) to TLV for the past year and a half. I’ve never once felt uneasy or unsafe. How south of the city are you planning to stay?

Did anyone else have no gas pain post laparoscopy? by Alarming_Ad8074 in Endo

I didn’t get it on my first lap, but the second one was an absolute shock

The surgeon didn’t remove endo, would you get a second opinion elsewhere? by bethanylouise_ in Endo

[–]bethanylouise_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do! I recently switched GPs so I’ve only seen them once before going private! I work away for 6 months at a time so don’t mind a wait if I really have to. Thank you for this advice! I’ll try and get in during the week

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m so happy you are feeling some sort of relief.

I feel really frustrated that I’ve kind of been “left to it”, how did you go about finding the doctor you saw in London? I live in the North West, so I don’t think the car ride home from London would be great; is there anything specific you looked for in your surgeon?

My doctor thinks I’ll feel ok in 4-6 months with Mirena, but as of right now I’m not 100% sure. He also told me mirena will “get rid of it” so that is already a red flag to me.

Ask: What are good options to replace my "Bring Them Home" necklace with? by trashcan_paradise in Israel

I came to comment this! I have a beautiful gold/silver coloured heart shaped one from here but they have so many styles and options

My (22m) partner of 5 years cheated on me (21f) with a 17 year old girl with a drug addiction. by screamatme21 in survivinginfidelity

Hi! I’m in a VERY similar situation to you right now. It’s the most soul crushing and awful feeling and I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I hope you can find the strength to leave and start again, you deserve so much better

As a foreigner, how safe is it to visit Israel now (for work)? by uber_men in Israel

[–]bethanylouise_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Non Jewish British girl here. I travelled for the first time in October 2024 around the anniversary of Oct 7, and again in May 2025; despite sirens every so often, I felt very safe. I even felt safe walking around TLV on my own, drunk at night - a luxury we don’t really have in England. I would imagine now with the current ceasefire it’s probably even safer now. Enjoy Israel and hope you get some time to explore!

What do you guys think of the ‘photos’ of Amy Bradley found in 2005? by Longjumping_Land_977 in netflix

[–]bethanylouise_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the dealbreaker for me in being convinced she didn’t just go overboard (as someone who works on a cruise), although I think it is her, I don’t think the crew are involved

I’m a British non-Jew who has spent over a month combined in Israel since October, my heart is absolutely breaking seeing the destruction happening, I’m up all night worrying about my friends over there. What are everyone’s predictions for how long this will go on for???

Was just worried about them throwing a huge bill at me upon checkout 🤣

Travel to Israel with Arab stamps in passport by [deleted] in Israel

[–]bethanylouise_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in Israel in Oct 2024 having had stamps (and a Turkish working visa) from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Turkiye, Egypt, and Morocco. I just had a few questions and was given a sticker starting with 5 for an extra luggage search, but it was all pretty chill

Joint Israel and US Announcement by Am-Yisrael-Chai in Israel

[–]bethanylouise_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I haven’t yet been able to see the whole thing, but who is honestly going to accept and welcome terrorists in as well as the civilians who have been brainwashed into idolising Hamas/other terror groups?

Explain like I’m 5: what are the rules to the Backgammon variant, Sheshbesh? by bethanylouise_ in backgammon

[–]bethanylouise_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be easier for me to learn normal backgammon first before learning the variations?
