Africa & Middle East - February 2007

I will be going to Israel for the first time in less than two months. I know how to read the Biblical Hebrew alphabet (with the vowel markers), but don't know any Modern Hebrew. I am a Native English speaker and have acquired two East Asian languages and I learn languages relatively quickly. I enjoy learning languages. I know that they speak fluent English in Israel. So what are the benefits, if any, for me to learn in this short time frame.

I know that it's an Islamic country so women dress modestly, but I'm a little confused about what to wear when I go swimming in the hotel as well as at the beach. Is a normal swim suit ok or do I need to wear something over it? Someone said I should wear a baggy T shirt on top! How can I swim with that on?! Answers from people who live in Dubai or those that have been there would be appreciated

I noticed that there are some words which are different between my dialect "the Egyptian dialect " and the Emirati dialect . Like for example here , you guys call stationery as "kortasya" . We call it " adawat maktabya" . The word "Kortasya" has absloutely no meaning in the Egyptian dialect except for "cones" .
I know also you call bread " sammon" . We call it " 3esh" .
What else ?

How would you divide lebanon socially? how does the upper class live? the lower class? do you think that there is a middle class?
how big is the gap between them? which group reflects the true Lebanese?

Does their religion teach them to hate Jews and call for the destruction of Israel?

I'm considering visiting South Africa. I'm a 28 yr old male from the U.S., and would likely be going alone. Is South Africa as violent as it's cracked up to be? I've read some pretty nasty stuff about it, but am still interested in paying a visit.

Is there any study about Egyptian genes or race that makes Egyptian the sweetest people you can ever meet !!

I am not kidding, I swear.

When I traveled to Egypt, I was so surprised how cheerful and outgoing they can be.

Few days ago, we had a road trip to CA and we stopped in some diner in LA.
I hared a lady speaking Arabic. I went to their table and asked her with my broken Arabic, where is she from. She smiled and said she is from Egypt.
I told her that I went to Egypt before and I loved it. Then this super nice lady invited us all to her house. She insisted that we must have tea or coffee with her & the family.
I was so humbled by her kindness and warmth. I said that we appreciate the kind invitation, but we have to get going. Then I was thinking, Egyptians then are nice and kind all the way, either if we are in their country or if we are here.

So, is it the race or the way of life? Or what….

As more and more farms are stolen from white farmers and handed to people that have no idea how to farm, how long will it be before South Africa goes down the same road as Zimbabwe and ends up begging America and the West to bail them out?

Any ideas?
