TOUR EGYPT

Didn't realize how much I missed Karim and Ahmed until I read "A Tale of Two Brothers" an article about their successes as businessmen in starting and running Tour Egypt.

These brother's took me under their wing and offered everything from 3AM rides home, mountain climbing encouragement, food, adventure, employment opportunities & a real shower offers & genuine friendship. They truly changed the shape of my experience, I owe them many thanks. & probably trip to Canada.

oooo canada

I miss the Olympics already.

They opened my eyes to what I so dumbly hadn't seen before:

I NEED TO GO TO CANADA.

Why? I have a list.

1. Could another country get any closer to Minnesota?

2. I hear it is beautiful.

3. Some areas of the country are bilingual. Oui Oui!

4. When the Elemam family leaves the Egyptian homeland, I can barge into their Canadian home. Raptor's game, ay?

5. Most importantly. I have this magical body wash. Which I took out of Mr. Moodie's Proctor & Gamble gift box then proceeded to fall in complete and utter love. I haven't been able to find it anywhere so now I (pathetically) reserve it for special occasions and bad days. Ha. WherewasIgoingwiththis? Oh yeah, after some research I found out it's sold in Canada. Here I thought the English/French on the bottle was a way of advertising it's worldly awesomeness.

6. Maybe a bit more importantly is the fact that Canada has one of the world's most fair and welcoming refugee admittance policies. I learned a lot about the Canadian policies while attending a documentary viewing at the American University of Cairo (AUC), "Seeking Refuge" All people who seek refuge in Canada are given fair trial, great isn't it? A chance to tell their story. I love that.

So. Friends, who wants to go to Canada. Ay? Ay? Ay?

Something to do today: take another look at yo-neighbor.
