We were made to leave all our luggage outside while queuing at immigration, which was a bit unnerving. The Jordanian side was even more disorganised, the power kept failing while passport information was being entered into their computers. Hi Genevieve,

Knowing something about the circumstances under which it was written I am amazed at its clarity and detail! The issue of conscription should perhaps provoke comment from readers. It often requires people to act against their own personal beliefs and has dire consequences, as it had for Avi's family. The photography helps to bring the article to life and deserves a special mention. Hi Claire

It is normally harder getting out than in. and india - if it makes you feel any better now that you are there, it takes two weeks to hate it and four weeks to fall in love with it. good luck hey, was just wondering how leaving israel went?
