"why are you foreigners anyway?" . . Thank you for providing some insight into the real Egypt. I've only been there twice and I'm hoping to go again in February. I hope to get to experience Egypt beyond being a tourist as I hope to go many times. Unfortunately, I'm limited by the fact that I have to keep on working . . . "retirement" is only a word these days as I will have to keep on working even if I do take the early retirement buyout from my company . . . still have to work. But thanks much for the words and explanation . . . i really want to understand my Egyptian friends better!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851648039768776994noreply@blogger.com
