About one week to go and we fly to Casablanca…
I’ve been a good girl. I’ve tried all the clothes on what I’m going to pack with us. And guess what – I found my old pair of jeans and they fit! Jippii!

nail polish, lipstick ready to go…

Yesterday was an International Women’s Day

What Women Want June 2009 issue…

Is a woman’s place in the home? 1 in 4 say yes-poll 
Do you agree?
India (54 percent), Turkey (52 percent), Japan (48 percent), China, Russia, Hungary (34 percent each) and South Korea (33 percent) were most likely to agree that women should not work.

Do you let your boys stay out later than girls? Why if yes?

Could you burn yourself? 
How do you feel when you see women in this kind of situation?
All women are somebody’s daughers/sisters/mothers…
All men are somebody’s brothers/sons/fathers…
Could you rape your mother or sister?

I’m going to have a ‘meme break’ after this weekend. 
We’re travelling next weekend and then I’m going to be busy because we’re moving out of Egypt. 
I’ll be back in April – when – not sure yet.
But this weekend I’m going visit and comment all those player’s blogs who leave a comment here. 
(I’ve noticed that many players just leave their URL on the link site but never comment here or anywhere.)

In December we visited Cairo Opera House complex and there The Egyptian Modern Art Museum where you could not take photos but here’s the link to their web site where they have a lot of pictures of the art inside the museum.

I know I have Egyptian readers. Please help me: 

Do you like opera?
Modern art?

what women want…I’m single and want to leave Egypt!
Previous what women want post is here


February 2010 issue of the What women want magazine 

There are many reasons why Egyptian women consider leaving Egypt:
- look for another job
- looking for better pay
- to escape society and its rules and restrictions
- to escape the pressures of society on women to get married
- adventure, to explore the world
The personal status of the women is usually either single or
divorced, as married women are
naturally tied to the fates of their husbands.

Popular destinations are:
Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, Canada, US and Australia.
Whether the woman is traveling  to the West or to the Gulf,
she breaks the chains handcuffing her by the society of Egypt.

The Gulf although have become more progressive than before,
and open to single women expatries living there,
still occasionally can be a little hars to a single Arab female expat
living there in comparison to a European female for example.

To conclude, the decision to leave Egypt or not, has to be thought carefully, after honestly sitting with oneself, and assessing one’s priorities.
What’s more important, my career or my social life?
Can I tolerate the constraining social rules of the Egyptian society for the sake of living near my family?
If I do travel, and decide to come back, will I be up to the consequences?
All these thought provoking questions have to be answered, before considering leaving Egypt.

May I introduce my dentist in Cairo – Dr. Amr Shabka. 
He is not just an ordinary dentist, but rather an artist! He is very gentle. 
He never uses those creepy ‘irons’ which are used by dentists in Finland.  
You know those metal strips which are screwed around the tooth and tightened so that the gum cracks!? Autch! I hate them! 
No. Dr. Shabka whittles the fillings like an artist! 
Thank you for the comfort of the treatment! 

The Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Cairo, Egypt part 1. just buildings, doors…
