Egypt without Egyptians
I was suprised to see your "felt love for the two young boys" story, then your closing comment "Egypt is better without Egyptians". We have in our country, "bad and annoying people" yet I dont see too many blogs from travelers who blog "America would be better without Americans". Part of traveling the World is to embrace the challenges and annoyances it comes with. Its what World Travel is about. Especially in a country where the economy is down 60%. Tourism is the livelyhood of many Egyptians. The agressive selling and tricks are just a way for the locals to stay ahead of their competetor until things pick up. :) thanks for reading my comment. I look forward to your next blog. Your next adventure. I love Egypt. Planning my 3rd trip.

Egypt without Egyptians
Hi Noreen, Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, I can also see the mixed emotions in my experience. I found Aswan and Luxor slightly more manageable than Cairo, unfortunately my last few days were in Cairo and the days really left me with a poor taste in my mouth. I was subjected to so much rudeness, vulgarity, verbal violence and unwanted sexual advances, to myself and my younger sister. There are so many beautiful aspects of Egypt, and this includes places, culture and people, unfortunately, these positives were marred by the negatives which overshadowed the beauty Egypt had to offer. I felt so sad leaving the country where so many people struggle (like Mohammed) and there is no support network offered by the government, this sadness turned to anger in Cairo and you can clearly see the bitterness in my writing – perhaps I should have waited a day or two to recount my trip. Thank you again for taking the time to comment, I really enjoy reading your opinion. Safe travels for your 3rd adventure, I hope to read your own blog at this time! Catherine

Hi Cate, I did without an oven and a bath for 15 years. Eventully got the bath and used it for the first time the other day and didn't like it!!!! The plug hole is where my bum hole is.....and it's too deep, so you can't relax in it.

The unforeseen time line
Well Cate, you've got a hard choice, but the way I see it is - if you don't do what you want to now, you'll regret it down the track. Keep on keeping on. Love V

That's utterly appalling and severely disappointing. We don't know just how good we have it, here in Australia.

drinking becomes a problem when it has negative affects on your life when u notice friend commenting or removing themself from your company , When ur work is affected and your health starts to decline and when u put your health at risk. you can change this or u can find drunker friends to justify your excessive drinking love u mum

Drinking
Firstly in facing a problem is to admit you have a problem. Big step. You're a strong girl, try to lessen the intake. Think how much money you'll save. I too drink ever day!!! I ain't no preacher.

I've done that.
I've peed in my pants twice through being drunk. The first time, nobody saw me but the second time they did.
