[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snoozin: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 7aya: [b] hi stacia, how are you? i'm glad you mentioned this. yes unfortunaly women in egypt stare. see the problem here is that we egyptians are a very curious people. and i remember the first time i traveled abroad, i was really young and my mother told me you know there you can do whatever you want and no one will look at you. heer people are very nosy, they just want to know who you are, where r u from, what are you doing in the passports office, if you have kids etc. its just a terminal case of curiosity, and you face it wherever you are weather you are in the street, office, cafe, restaraunt. part of it is the weather you know. in cold countries people spend most of their time at home, and thus people turn out to be very individualistic. in mediterinean counties the weather is hot, and people spend time outdoors, and interact. but the problem here in egypt is that it went past interaction to just invasion of privacy. by the way the fact that you are a foreigner will get you more unwanted attention because you probably look different. by the way foreign ladies, what do the harrasers tell you, do they speak to you in arabic or english, and do you understand? just curious <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> sara i don't know how the topic turned from divorce to harrasment! actually i do, its braveheart's comment. you know i wanted to open a thread on harrasment but now i don't have to, because we already discussed it here. yalla good[/b][/QUOTE] I'm glad you said this. I didn't have any comments directed at me in Cairo, but boy was I stared at! I just took this to mean, and my fiance confirmed, that I was very unusual looking. Very blond hair. Very blue eyes. Very pale skin. I'm a curiosity. I did the same while I was there. Here in DC, I'd say 60% of the population is black. No big deal. I think I saw just one black man (sub-saharan African) in Cairo, and I'm afraid I stared at him....just because he was different from what I had become accustomed to. [/QB][/QUOTE]
