Jerusalem - Post Report Question and Answers

Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?

Absolutely. - Oct 2019


I would still move here because it really is priceless being able to experience such a historic place in person. And the weather and food are wonderful! - Aug 2018


Yes. - Apr 2018


That's a tough one. Israel's quality of life is high. Jerusalem is a fascinating and fun city to live in. The work is rewarding and interesting. But the schools -- knowing what I know now, I would not have come here due to the schooling. - Dec 2016


Yes. The family enjoyed it and it was great to be here a time when the peace process was active. That said, I'm glad I'm moving on. - Aug 2015


Yes, I doubt I will have a tour this interesting professionally or personally in a long time. - Aug 2015


If the tour was shorter maybe...but thinking about it now, no. - May 2015


Yes, while it has been frusrating to watch the world revolve around this place, it's still a great place in which to have lived and worked. - Mar 2014


No. - Aug 2013


Absolutely. I worked here at the end of the '90s and vowed never to return due to the political tension. I chose to ignore politics this time, and that freed me up to enjoy all the great things about being here. If you're a U.S. diplomat, you also get a ton of allowances for serving here. - Jul 2013


I don't think so. It is expensive, the people here is not friendly (locals), and the 15 hour airplane trip with kids is just difficult. - Feb 2009
