Egyptian experience in Rome LOL

I have richly enjoyed my first year in Egypt and in spite of all the cultural shocks I had it has proved to be a very constructive year. I have learnt so many things that I would probably never have learnt anywhere else in the world.

Now, as I am sitting here at the airport in Rome, thinking that I ran away from Egypt for at least 6 weeks, I realize that Egypt is everywhere!! How is that you might ask… Well, my second flight is delayed, which usually happens, so there is no need to get my panties in a twist… The only thing is that they keep saying: ït is delayed for 30 minutes"; after 30 minutes they announce that it has been bedayed for another 40 minutes. People started losing their patience… I guess I should be used to it since I live in Egypt, the country of inshállah! LOL
Some men demanded they are told exactly when the plane leaves etc… I don’t blame them, I would've probably done the same a year ago… my level of patience has highly improved! Should experiment with my sister! LOL
PS: the flight was delayed for 3 hrs!

Holiday in Dahab

A couple of weeks ago together with Nichole (aka Muppet, Nix), Kelli and Bronwyn i went to Dahab, one of my favourite places in Egypt (there's at least one thing i like about Masr LOL).

Thanks to Bronwyn i was spared of a 9 hour bus drive which is often a terrible experience, just because she had a 4x4 and we drove there. We left Cairo on a Thursday afternoon, right after school.

We rented a beautiful apartment there that i totally reccomend (http://www.dahab.net/; check the Sea Stars apts - very cool and friendly owner - Tim). During the 4 or 5 days we spent there we got henna tatoos - all the same, apart from Kelli which has betrayed The Pride (as we called ourselves).

We have also taken the quads into the desert (Bronwyn stayed behind, as she had homework) - that was an awesome experience, especially for Kelli ... I am sure Nix has enjoyed it as much!! :P Luckily, we were with some Jordanian guys and they were able to get our guide to offer the best ride ever!

most afternoons were spent on the beach, snorkelling, having drinks (soft), getting a tan ... and getting hassled by the little girls who sell bracelets/anklets.

Our apartment had an awesome rooftop with a nice sitting area, so we spent most evenings there, apart from the one night spent at RUSh .... quite an interesting place, with even more interesting people, i'd say. We went to our friend, Dr Sheesha for his special mix - apple mint sheesha. We actually bought a big sheesha to have for ourselves at the apartment.

We had more fun than it sounds in this post, just because i am talking about facts and activities... but it is something that i will remember for a long time! :D

My children are sorting out my love life

Alright .. now that we have only a few more weeks/days of school my children are really interested and concerned about me and my love life (they've been concerned all year! maybe now more than ever, just because it is the end of our time together).
So, amongst our endless conversation about jelly fish yesterday (very long story) they thought i should get married today only for a day. Needless to say i tried to tell them i need to find a man first ... when "Cucumber" says: "Well, if you dont find a man, you should marry a girl!"
What do you think? I told them i would consider!! :D:D:D There's more women than men anyway!! Hahaha!!
Cant believe how their little brains can actually think about these things! They made me laugh!!

Another quick note

Havent been faithful to this blog for the past couple of months i guess... Cant believe it is June already!! 2 more weeks of school!!!!!!!!!! Yuppeeeeee!!
My life has been a rollercoaster with so many things and especially decisions. Just to contradict myself, i am staying in Egypt for another year, in spite of many things .... according to many people, it is a stupid thing to do ... according to me and my motivation: ... i still dont know about it.... but i am still young and i can "play" a bit.
