see, this is why living in small Israel is a good thing. when I was in elementary school, it took me 1 minute by car, or 5 minutes by foot to get to school. when I was in mid-highschool(aka grades 7-9), it would be 10 minutes by foot, and 5 minutes by bus, and 3 minutes by car. when I was in high school, my school was very far - in another city O_o so it took 5 minutes by car, around 9 minutes by bus, and well, around 2 hours by foot, but that never hapened..
Now i'm in the university, which is veeeery veeeery far. by foot it'll take me days, lol; by bus it takes 30 minutes and by car it's around 15 minutes.
Generally, the idea is that in israel, you can drive through the whole length of the country in like, 7 hours. fun it takes 30 minutes of flying from one end to another. and if you drive from one side to another on the country's width(not length), it should take you 2-3 hours tops..
different cities.. you have to walk around uh, 8 kms i suppose. so in car that makes...oh well, I guess around 7-8 minutes, does that suit you? O_o I walked back from school only once, and it took me two hours..

Did you get side-tracked along the way, Shos?
You do know that this is only an estimation, right?
Average walking speed is about 4 or 5 km/h, so taking 2 hours is likely. By car it would be about 50 km/h inside the cities and about 100 km/h outside the cities (excluding traffic light stops, traffic jams and such), so this would probably take about 10-15 minutes, depending on how much he would have to drive inside the city.
Here in the Netherlands, you can get from any mainland city to any other mainland city in about 2 hours using nothing but public transport and you can get from just about anywhere to just about anywhere else in 3 hours. You can drive from north to south, then back north again and repeat this a couple of times on one tank of gas.
I like the talk about your countries, lol. "any mainland city" hehe... in israel we have 4 of those that's it.. one in the north, Haifa, which is around 1.5~ hour drive, one in the south, Be'er Sheva(seven wells in free translation) which is around 1 hour drive, and two in the center, Tel Aviv and of course Jerusalem. both are around 15 minutes of driving from here, and around 30 minutes away from each other, cuz of traffic. without traffic it should be like 15 minutes too..

I didn't just say that because the ferries take too long. They would only delay you for about half an hour at most. The reason I included that statemeny was because last year the Dutch Antilles got dissolved and Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba officially became part of the Netherlands. These are located in the Caribbean and I guess take about 12 hours to reach by plane.
That poll must have been influenced by Americans because their country has a much bigger population than Canada (which is not cool and their country is in a huge debt). Canada also has Molson Canadian which CSD likes to drink.

Shos, I was wrong. Linear Algebra 2 is a cakewalk. Optimization is the most confusing course I'm taking this semester. Everything else is far easier than I expected, though, so it all evens out.
I never took Optimization. It's too usable for me XD my degree is in applied physics and non-applicable maths. however it seems that the non-applicable maths are applied quite alot in high-degree physics. Galoe(sp?) theory for example, is used in quantum mechanics ...next semester i'll do Quantum Mechanics 2, so I'll probabyl know how
