Okay, so I lived in Israel on and off for about a year. As to why, my dad. But we would live there for about a month or a couple months at a time and we would come back. But altogether it's about a year. So cost of living in Israel is extremely high. The reason it's so high is because Israel is a relatively new country, right? Since World War, the turn of the World War, World War II. So it was established as its own country. Everything still right now is shipped in, right? They're also not big enough to have a lot of their own, you know, in within the country sourcing or anything. So we were paying tariffs and all these kinds of things. And there are new contracts. So in terms of trading with other countries, so everything's imported. So that's why it's so expensive. The other thing is that the government wants more money so that they can help the state to grow. That's kind of their perspective on it. So there's a lot of very high tax. And things like groceries, gas, those are all gonna be expensive. You have to pay for parking almost anywhere you go. So it's a little bit about Israel, but it's worth it.
