[QUOTE]Originally posted by Monica: [QB] wacobaco, and all other interested members, I wrote this on another thread and realized it should be here: In conclusion, regarding the Egyptian/foreigners misconceptions or misunderstandings leading to disastrous situations, we read on this board practically everyday: I still believe that a huge part of this whole 'deception' concept, stems from a great lack of knowledge, vis à vis the Egyptian culture of today's 70 million. Bluntly informing foreigners about how the Egyptian class dominated societies perceive women, that either have pre-marital sex, and /or get into a quick Orfi marriage, after a very short period of time, is a MUST. The Internet is the venue of the day, that could be the ideal portal for the cross - culture specific information, and most importantly it should be advertized with the coo-peration of all embassies, in protection of their citizens. An example would be, if you are : a) a sex tourist, in Egypt expect............ b) a marriage on the fly oriented, in Egypt expect....... c) associating with class 1- class 2- class 3 etc....with description and real examples, in Egypt expect................ d) a business investor needing an agent or a partner, in Egypt consult...expect... e) gay, in Egypt expect.... f) looking for a job in Egypt, expect.... g) none of the above and REALLY interested in Egypt -the history, the country expect........... etc...etc...etc... I did not find anything that tackles these issues in depth, through any Egyptian/tourist oriented website. There are Russians and/or German websites warning girls/women of the gigolos of Egypt. But this type of extremely sensitive, down to earth and factual information, should be generated through a group of Egyptians in a cross-culture specific frame of mind/format. It's not an easy task to give such gory details/examples, about certain aspects of a country, that aside from being extraordinarily beautiful, and super rich historically, with unmatched people's characteristics when it comes to hospitality, generosity, kindness, compassion, charm etc... is also economically busted - it will get better for sure - at this moment, Islamically oriented, double standard, poor... and I am certain that it's the reason why governments do not tackle the issues in the open. So what do you think? [This message has been edited by Monica (edited 11 March 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
