[QUOTE]Originally posted by TMK: [QB] Twoworlds, We have similar backgrounds...but I chose to make the move to Egypt 8 years ago. I feel there is no perfect country to live in, all have good and bad points.There are days that I wish to go back to the US and be closer to my family. That also means my husband and I would both need to work. But by living here I can stay home to raise my 2 children. Why do you feel living in the US that your son will have more opportunities? I think raising a muslim child in the US would be a challenge. Schooling in Cairo is taken very seriously, with great schools to choose from. Most children here learn to speak and write at least two languages from the age 4/5, and a thrird is added later. Religion is also taught in schools. I feel my son has a better grasp of whats going on in the world. He has Egyptian, American, Dutch, and South African freinds. Moving to Egypt topic...I could go on forever, but you have to understand that it will change your life forever, and you have to be ready for the changes. It will be easier if you discuss major issues before you move. -Where are you going to live? In Cairo? Going to rent or buy? Live with in-laws? -Will your husband be able to secure a job to maintain the same lifestyle that you are accustom to now? (took my husband a year to find a good job) -Where will your child go to school? Good schools are expensive. -Will you be able to wear what you want? This is a big issue with most of my freinds. -Will you be able to go out alone? Drive a car? -Will you be able to travel to US and visit family? -Will you still be able to celebrate Christmas,and Easter? Key to a successful transition is knowing what your getting into. Like I said I could go on forever. If you need any other advice..let me know. Good Luck! [/QB][/QUOTE]
