[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dalia: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MotherEgypt: [qb] WHY MOST OF NONE EGYPTIAN LIVING IN EGYPT ARE COMPLAINING ? !!! WHY THEY CAN NOT SHOW SOME RESPECT TO LOCALS ? !!!![/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think that [i]most[/i] of the expats living in Egypt are complaing. But there is indeed a number of them who do. They are usually the ones that have been sent here by their companies; they live in their isolated little expat bubble, they don't learn Arabic, don't befriend locals and so on. I usually don't hang out with those people. I'm not interested in expat clubs, embassy parties and the like. My friends in Cairo are a very diverse mixture of people who have come to Egypt for all sorts of reasons. And, yes, we do complain sometimes but certainly not all of the time. :) [QUOTE]Originally posted by MotherEgypt: [qb] WHY THEY TREAT THE EGYPTIAN STAFF SO DIFFERENTLY ?[/qb][/QUOTE]Do they? My observation is rather that foreigners treat Egyptian stuff better than many Egyptians do. I often cringe when I see how Egyptians treat people that are in a lower social class than themselves. I usually treat everyone – be it my cleaning lady, office boy, bauwab, secretary or whatever with politeness and respect, something I noticed many Egyptians don't. For example – our secretary alway used to scream for the office boy in a very commanding, rude tone of voice. My South American colleague finally couldn't stand it anymore and told her to please call for him in a more civil manner. I know many examples like this. And the sad thing about it is – most people in Egypt are so used to being treated like this that they will not cooperate if you're too friendly with them. [QUOTE]Originally posted by MotherEgypt: [qb] WHY A JOBLESS EUROPIAN CAN COME HERE AND GET PAID MORE THAN A QUALIFIED EGYPTIAN ? WHY SOME EROUPEAN USED TO DO VERY SIMPLE JOBS IN THEIR HOMES , THEY CAN BE EASILY MANGERS HERE FOR DIVING CENTERS AND TRAVEL AGENCIES ,,,ETC [/qb][/QUOTE]You are absolutely correct – many Egyptians assume that a foreigner is better equipped to handle a job than an Egyptian and there are expats who take advantage of that. They wouldn't be successful in their homecountry, yet in Egypt they can feel they are someone special ... But that's not the foreigners' fault, they just take advantage of this ... [/QB][/QUOTE]
