Ahelen Wasahelen to Masr!!!!

My Arabic is still rubbish, if you think i can speak it (dont be misled by the title)...
After a trip that took around 8 hrs (usually a flight from Bucharest to Cairo shouldnt take more than 2 and a half hrs) i arrived back to Egypt! Thank you Alitalia for the flight! They seem to have the cheapest flights, although i hated the food ... they are bankrupt after all!
Thank God John came to fetch me at the airport! it was good to see him and talk to him, from a Romanian to an Egyptian! By the way, our cultures do have a lot in common! I should write a post one day about this... this would be an interesting topic!
So, the first thing people ask me when i tell them i live in Egypt is something to do with the weather. They ask if it hot... Well, to be honest now, we had hotter days this summer in Romania than i've experienced so far in Egypt; of course that has to do with the fact that Romania's climate is humid, whereas Egypt's is dry.
But this summer, once i've arrived i was pleasantly surprised by the weather ... it was just perfect; still hot, but bearable! hamdulilah!
I remember last year when i got in it seemed so hot!!! Now i sleep without my AC on, and even during the day i feel that i need to switch the AC off if i am indoors; it gets too cold!
Once again i am happy to be back ... i managed to catch up with some friends, at least to see them and say hello; i am still waiting to catch up with a few who are either away or sick.
