Passover in Israel

So what's different in Israel?
  1. Kids (K-12) get two weeks off from school.  Universities get a week+ off.
  2. A number of businesses are closed for the entire period.  Other businesses are only closed for the Yom Tov days.
  3. The buses and trains are on Shabbat schedules for the Yom Tov days.
  4. The bakeries are closed (who was surprised by that???), but some of them have tables outside their shop with kosher-for-Passover foods, including pizza.
  5. Some of the falafel/schwarma shops have kosher-for-Passover wraps and are selling sandwiches (I'm not sure if they're selling falafel).
  6. The stores and shops have drapes over the shelves that have packaged items that are not kosher-for-Passover.
