[QUOTE]Originally posted by WOTEVER: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by aXXo: [qb] is it coz of the big corruption here ? or our traditions is weared ? .. or they cant accept muslim community ? or low standard of living ? or they think we have weared mentalitles ? or they think they will not have the freedom they have in their own countries ? can u clarify the matter for me thanx [/qb][/QUOTE]I lived in Egypt until recently and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. I was fasinated by the traditions and often participated when the opportunity arose. I had no problems with the muslim community and converted after 2 years(humdulliah), being a foreigner I found my outgoings were more expensive, electricity, food, etc then friends and neighbours, but equal to other relatives. To begin with i did find the mentality strange however I got used to it quickly and have picked good and bad things up, I blend in quite well !!! In the beginning until I learnt how to get around, by myself and could speak the language, I was restricted as to where I went I had to depend on friends to be free to accompany me, however when I learnt the langauage and knew how to get around I felt happier, and took my mother and aunt round cairo on shopping trips, where only Egyptians go!!! I think with any knew thing it takes time to adjsut and learn what will help us to interact into a new community. I have friends that have lived in Egypt for 20+ years however they feel isolated as they don't go out alone, they can't express themselves in arabic fluently. I think it's down to the individual and What they want in life and what their expectations are. As i said i'm missing Egypt badly and would love to go back, one day inshallah [/QB][/QUOTE]
