Does egypt have a usual race combination of couples? It seems as if it's mostly egyptians combining w/ westerners. I have yet to see an egyptian mix with a chinese, japanese, south american, cuban/puerto rican. In egypt it's just egyptians mixing w/ egyptians, it's not bad. Perhaps it's due to travel restrictions? Why is egypt so homogenous? Also, my egytpian husband informed me there are chinese male prisoners/dissidents sent from china to an area in cairo--has the male chinese community began to racially intermix w/ the female egyptians yet (in terms of creating a family)?

I have been to egypt as a spouse of an alexandrian and I noticed that most of the ppl. I met seemed to have to get beyond their apprehension of common beliefs that american women are sluts. People often label us to their beloved egyptian man that we make bad wives and have ingrained in their heads that we're "loose." If american culture is so "bad", why is Egypt adopting the music, sneakers, hip hop attire, etc., etc. and looking down upon americans w/ condescension who come to egypt w/ an open mind. The same things like affairs, people having premarital sex happen there. It's just not as obvious, but it happens. So why pretend that it does not? Not that you must accept it, but not treat those with an attitude of, "i'm holier than you." You don't know me yet, so don't label me until you do. It seems as if americanized muslims are more willing to take someone for who they are rather than treat them as if they're going to spread some sort of disease when first meeting them.

My husband is from alexandria and I'm wondering if it is just that area of egypt that ppl. tend to be this way (yes, I know that not everyone is the same, but there are trends. For example, the ppl. in the southern part of the the u.s.a. or the midwest have a less hurried lifestyle than californians like me):

when something important such as paperwork for the immigration process for schooling needs to be worked on by the egyptian who "really wants to come to america" because they complain of life in egypt going nowhere, they don't do much about it other than talk about it. Talk does not cook rice and patience of those willing to help is not eternal.

My husband explained to me that there is a lot of mental depression egypt and that people are accoustumed to government offices doing paperwork in egypt taking forever, they are stuck in their current lifes position forever and the economic situation for those who aren't government officials or policemen isn't as convenient as U.S.

I am planning a 3 day trip to GOA from Hyderabad to cover 31st Dec and 1st Jan 07 times. I am planning to travel by train to and fro and also planning to rent a 2 wheeler to roam around. It will be good to be arnd the beach, but looks like the resorts have heated up prices.

For a double room its arnd 3k per night and some are forcing to take a package for 11K for 3 nights 4days with local sight-seeing.

Whats the right one? I am a bit worried abt the budget and what exactly is good in GOA (seriously)...I want to have a feel of the new-year eve & night.

Please ask me more questions if you like to help me
:-)
Chrs,

Say you want to move out of town and experience something new and random, so you open a map and close your eyes and point on the map and move there. Do you think that is an adventurous idea? what do you think about this idea? would you do it?

In doing it, it would be more for the randomness of it and not knowing what kind of interesting people you would meet and experiences you would have there, things that could totally change your life.
