[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] Hi JA, I was wondering why you infact don't mind going to visit your boyfriend in Benha and even consider maybe to move there for good. I checked out your hometown, a small city with low population (est. 18,000 people), hosting an university outside of Philadelphia. I was thinking if it is actually possible that you also want to go and see something else in this world? I mean I was the same. I was 20 years young, never had been to any place beside Poland and here I go, arriving at Cairo with the plan to stay for one year. I came and worked as a nanny for an Egy family in the beginning and on day 3 we already moved to a nice hotel outside of Ismaliya along the Suez canal. I had a cultural shock which was not too bad because I didn't see much more than the hotel complex for the first two months. Upon moving back to Cairo it really hit me. And then came a time where I didn't want to miss it anymore. Lots to do, many foreigners. Believe me I don't think you will like Benha. I imagine most of the women are veiled there, hardly any foreigners working in this town, the living and atmosphere must be so much different than it is f.e. in Cairo. I wish someone on here could provide you with some pictures of your boyfriend's homeplace. Did he show you pictures of his town? You mentioned also in an earlier post that your boyfriend has the chance f.e. to move to France. How can he arrange that? If its possible for him let him already pursue a move to there now. I believe you are much better off anywhere in this country than infact in Benha. I know you love and trust your boyfriend a lot but also be aware. Even for him its going to be difficult to live again in his hometown. Egyptian society will force many rules and obligations on him, on you. You will not be able to live with him in one appartment. I can't imagine that you would be able to stay in one of the family buildings without its being said that you are his fiancee. Traditions and customs are so much different there. Look, let him pursue a new start in France whatever where he can make infact a living for the both of you. And you really need to continue your studies. If you have a degree in your pocket its valuable it makes you independent. You can get a good job. And you are very young. Enjoy your spirit and freedom. Also I don't want to take your hopes away but I don't see your boyfriend ever having a chance to live in the US again. Since he was living illegal inside the US the government will always hold it against him. Even people who are without a criminal record, doing arranged marriages (meaning f.e. they marry someone from their extended families and try to bring them over now to the US) having diffulties to unite with their spouses on US soil because they are Muslims. But again best of luck again to you. PS: My husband was born in "Philly". <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/wink.gif"> [This message has been edited by Tigerlily (edited 18 October 2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
