Egypt is such a beautiful country it's just a shame people don't recognise that.<BR/>Well done,<BR/><BR/>My Biggest and Best Wishes<BR/> Meghan :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-1153679725496017192006-07-23T21:35:00.000+03:002006-07-23T21:35:00.000+03:00The CAC Christmas bazaar...I loved that! I have so...The CAC Christmas bazaar...I loved that! I have some needlepoint on my wall that I bought from a women's organisation there. And the recycling center for the Zebeleen in Mokattam? I still carry those bags. I was in my gym in West Seattle last year, and a young woman stopped me and said, "Where did you get that bag?"<BR/>I said, "I used to live in Cairo, and bought it there...actually at the CAC Christmas bazaar." While she hadn't heard of CAC, she did volunteer to teach ESL in that recycling centre in for 6 months, and was truly touched to see that workmanship make it's way all the way to Seattle, Washington. The world is so much smaller than we think!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/06455506176926199209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-1136230316430221752006-01-02T21:31:00.000+02:002006-01-02T21:31:00.000+02:00Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous ye...Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous year in 2006. :-)))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-1135716545732280662005-12-27T22:49:00.000+02:002005-12-27T22:49:00.000+02:00Maryanne,Marry Christmas, may be a little bit late...Maryanne,<BR/>Marry Christmas, may be a little bit late!! another one ahead, right?!<BR/>i like your blog and I keep it on my list, thank you for these beautiful glances from Egypt<BR/>happy and fulfilling new year for you and your lovely onesHazemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354118096434417517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-1135658761776098662005-12-27T06:46:00.000+02:002005-12-27T06:46:00.000+02:00I was intrigued when I saw the post on an aggregat...I was intrigued when I saw the post on an aggregator as I had the diameterically opposed post of an Egyptian's Christmas in the US on my blog.<BR/>Nothing anywhere near as thorough as your post though.<BR/><BR/>It's kinda interesting to see your point of view on Christmas in Egypt. I had 24 "christmases" in Egypt but I still find your view refreshingly different.<BR/><BR/>David, you must be really old by now if you'd lived in Maadi 1885 :)Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907766331051353218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-1135604434398594512005-12-26T15:40:00.000+02:002005-12-26T15:40:00.000+02:00Maryanne,I wanted to say thank you very much for y...Maryanne,<BR/><BR/>I wanted to say thank you very much for your lovely blog. I am a Canadian who lived in Ma'adi when I was much younger (1983-1885). I have very fond memories of the place, its beauty, its history and the wonderful people I met. <BR/><BR/>Your blog shows me how some things have changed, how some have stayed the same and sometimes I see glimpses of places I recognize in your pictures. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/><BR/>David Fraser<BR/><A HREF="http://www.privacylawyer.ca/blog" REL="nofollow">The Canadian Privacy Law Blog</A>privacylawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943567746055311435noreply@blogger.com
