[QUOTE]Originally posted by *Albino_Eskimo*: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [qb] Before marrying into a culture, such as the Egyptian one and certainly before travelling there, it is wise to read a little on the customs and traditions. Books such as Culture Shock! Egypt, by Susan Wilson, help with the the process of understanding. Albino's bosom shaking gesture isn't even appropriate in the west, when shopping with ones in laws. Western women do have to adjust their behaviour, in Egypt, to make sure nothing is misread. This is difficult and can go against the grain but it is essential if you want to earn respect. [/qb][/QUOTE]First off I read Culture Shock Egypt, the 1998 edition. It sounds as if Barnard Lewis had edited it himself. really bad advice in that book. Secondly the torso shake, not the bossom shake, isn't the kind you see in rap videos. Its not meant in a sexual fashion at all. Its something I picked up from classmates who hail from Africa. Its a common tactic to set gender boundaries below the equator. But in Egypt its more of a "nubian" gesture and why it was not appreciated. And to be familiar with the culture before jumping into a relationship doesn't mean spending 2 weeks in Luxor hunting down a boytoy. I have lived with my ex day in and day out for 5 years. I am not a tourist in Egypt unlike many women who claim to know all of Egypt. Just because your nation had colonized Egypt over a hundred years ago doesn't make you an expert. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
