You Westerners who think Egypt's heaven should thank goodness you don't live here! I've been here 13 years and wow!Beggars crowd every square inch, drivers would rather run you over than let you cross, there are pollution and trash and wild traffic jams everywhere, education's MISERABLE, God knows how much money goes to bribery and corruption, good-looking girls are hassled like whores (veiled and unveiled women getting their clothes torn up by sixty or seventy men made headlines last week), half the people are illiterate peasants who live in shocking poverty (per capita income is $700 a year), I can't leave Islam although we have 'freedom of religion' (ha!), the media spits out anti-Semitic propaganda, the boys I go to school with are filthy rich and shameless...I feel like crying when I get home each night, I'd rather end it all than go on living like this much longer. What on earth do you like about this place?
Tahhyaa Musr, he he.
