This is how I served at the buffet "Eat as much as you can" (@poppypaints)
Many Israelis behave in different ways on their vacation in Israel and abroad, sometimes in a less than adequate way that has already received an unflattering description as "the ugly Israeli".
A survey carried out at the end of last month (January 29-30) by the survey institute Geocartography for the international tourism exhibition IMTM 2023 that will take place At the Expo in Tel Aviv on February 14-15, 2023, he found interesting findings regarding our behavior on vacation. For example, to the question:
To what extent does it bother you, or does it not bother you, to encounter an Israeli on vacation abroad?
It was found that most of the respondents (80%) do not mind it.
5% - very bothersome
15% - kind of bothersome
40% - not so much bothersome
40% - not at all bothersome

Loading up at the buffet?
It's okay, so are we
Another question that was asked was about loading food at the buffet in the hotel dining room - an action that is so loved by Israelis.
To the question
of whether, while on vacation in a hotel, in Israel or abroad, you take more food than you usually do at home?
72 percent answered that they usually load more than they would load at home.
12% - always
19% - Many times
41% - sometimes
28% - not at all
