Just a few examples of why I love Egypt. Not everyone gets a kick out of these things like I do...but to me, local color is everything.
I know there is baraka in the day, but a whole extra hour's worth?
Amreekia Min Bab Al Sharayah
That was the name of my old blog. Translated, it means an American woman from the old, poor and rundown district of Bab Al Sharayah in Cairo. I was given this nickname because although I was born in the USA, my mentality is more ghetto Egyptian. I'm a curious mixture of east meets west, and dont care if you call me balady!
I'm going to slowly bring some of the old posts from Amreekia over here (see archives), basically to give new readers some background. I hope you'll enjoy the old and the new and join me on this fascinating expat journey!
