What are leisure activities in palestine?

Answer 1

This is kind of like asking what are leisure activities in England, Japan, or Hawaii! It all depends on the situation of the people. There are people who are subsistence poor, and they entertain themselves like poor people anywhere-- with simple games of cards, makeshift soccer balls, enjoying young children, sharing stories over sweet coffee or tea. Older men, in particular, are apt to be good at the board game of backgammon. As all over the world, chess is also played.

Palestinians also include more PhDs per capita than England, so they also read, research, use the Internet in all the ways urban people do everywhere. Young adults love Video Games and all sorts of Internet, cell phone, and other modern technology. There are busy Internet centers with many computers that you can rent the use of, if you don't have one at home. Most all Palestinians love music: Pop Music, Classical Music Eastern and Western, and especially their own music and traditional dances like the debke, a vigorous line dance that can go on for hours at weddings and other celebrations. Radio reaches even the most rural folk. Of course in the cities, they have television.

Palestinians are super hospitable and also love having people over -- from lifelong friends to passers-by -- everyone is welcomed in for tea and talk.
