A curious case with my family in Israel
I would like to tell you about a curious case that had happened with my family when we were in Israel. When I had planned the itinerary of this trip I decided to hire a car because it could help us to travel a lot and to be independent from public transport. I found out about terms and conditions of this service in Israel but unfortunately I had forgotten to find out about a carjacking protection system which uses in the country. So we had online booking for a car and we got to the car rent agency. We had no luck from the very beginning. First a manager who was helping us were a newbie. Something went wrong with WiFi connection in this agency and he had a problem with our payment. It taked us about two hours to get our car. At last! We were so happy that we did not check how to turn on the motor of the car and when the service man gave us a note with security code from carjacking protection system we did not pay attention to it. How very wrong we were. We decided to go to Haifa. It is one of the most beautiful towns in Israel. Haifa is situated on the mountain. We parked the car near the seaside and had started to climb up to the mountain. When we got to the top we were so exhausted but the sight of the town was perfect. We had a dinner and set off to the car. It was about seven o'clock in the evening when we got to the car. My husband opened the car door and tried to turn it on but he couldn't. He entered a security code and then he put the key to key hole but nothing had happened. The motor did not want to turn on. We had tried for about forty minutes. We also tried to deal the phone number of 24h service but we couldn't. This phone number could be reached from a local SIM card only. It was sunset outside. There were only two cars in the car parking, one of them was our car. We tried to ask advice from the people down the street but they were afraid of even speaking with us! Maybe my face was too scared or they just had afraid of strangers cause terrorize attack I don't know. It was made me uneasy. After all we decided to go to the nearest cafe and tried to buy a local SIM card. The waiter told us that it was too late for buying a SIM card. All shops had been closed. It is so strange for me. Moscow never sleeps. You can buy everything you want during 24h in Moscow. From a pin to a refrigerator! We had started to book a hotel when one guy came to help us. He entered a security code then pushed the clutch pedal and then.. magic! The motor had turned on!
