[QUOTE]Originally posted by Serendipity: [QB] In every contry that you will pass through in your life, you will see the bad and the good. we should be observing that and trying to learn from their good sides so that we become better in life. Egypt as a government i am sure everybody knows about that. But when you come to a country its not the government wich should get your attention. Go deeper in. walk the streets, talk to the people, observe their life. I love egypt and not for their government but for itself. When you walk near the bridge qasr il nil and you see people walking , families together. And you hear the arabic music in the background (all from modern music like amr diab to om koulthoum) and of course the famous potato seller on the bridge, all of that gives you life. In the summer at 3 oclock in the morning you will see people walking in the streets and having fun (without necesserly be affected by alcohol). There so much life there. I agree with you theres a lot of people that are poor in egypt, but still they are so positive and they try to have fun with the little they have. I have never seen so strong women as the egyptians. they are educated and they would never let anyone push them down. I wish i had some of the strength that they have. You say they harass you, mmmmm, I am not wearing this burka thing you talked about and I never get harassed..I got harassed more in Norway than in egypt. Of course they will say something to you..THAT IS EVERYWHERE. If you go to italy they do the same, if you go to spain or greece or turkey or syria and etc. This is everywhere. But i think you are exagerating a bit. I was out till 12 oclock at night with my friend without anyone bothering us. If you show them that you dont care they will not bother you more than to say some few silly words. And as for the fashion, I have never seen more fashionable muslim women than in egypt! Thats why i wanted to start designing clothes there, cause they are well aware of fashion. A woman in the age of 50 or 60 is more fashionable than me! And i mean fashionable in the islamic way, that she still weares hijab and still cover herself in a good way but still very VERY fashionable. Go see the emirates, they are very eurpeanized. BUT DO THEY KNOW FASHION! NOPE! they wear long abayas...and under that.well I dont know...they have strange taste for clothing! I went one time to our drivers house, and this is a small house with three bedrooms in a very poor village. four brothers who are married and a mother lives there in this tiny house! But I have never met so sweet and polite people as them. They opened their doors to us. Made us this delicious egyptian food and still everytime we come to egypt they invite us there. Even they have a hard life, they still smile and still are very welcoming. (this is really rare, and i have been to many arabic countries). Egypt has its bad sides, but so does USA and so does norway too. If you find it a shame that so many people are homeless or iliterate or so many orphans...then why dont you do something about it. You say you are a writer in a fashion magazine, so write about it then! so the people will be more aware of it and maybe they will start helping. And you say you cant be fashionable and at the same time be a muslim, mmmm, the most fashionable in Norway is the muslim girls, I am very fashionable, I design my own clothes. but I still wear hijab and do my 5 times a day prayers. I love egypt and it has been the closest to home for me, I still can remember the lovely breeze of summer near the nile and those small boats there...I miss it soo much and hope i will get the chance to visit again.
