expats is short for expatriates ...

u'll start missing egypt when u live there and actually build ties with the country. for now, all u r doing is comparing it to Canada.

I agree with that.

And I'm not an expat, but I think there are lots of things unique to Egypt that a person could miss. [Smile]

The only thing I miss is that everything in Egypt is deliverable.....thats why I miss it...and what I miss is that tons of resturants are open 24/7

(((and the traffic in egypt and the swearing of ppl on the streets and the fights!

is that something I should be proud off???????)))))

you know this is one of the things i love too. that's why i think, people are too harsh when they say that taxi drivers are inhuman, because they are not. i can't tell you how many times i was lost, and a taxi driver would let me follow him till i reached my destination.
