Ah... Love!

Things I love about Egypt, Maadi to be precise
• I can walk to everything I need, or take a cab if I am being lazy
• People are really nice and helpful
• Our amazing housekeeper who keeps the dust from taking over my allergies and generally makes my flat look AMAZING! (and making my bed. BIG love for Karima!)
• EVERYTHING delivers: the grocery store, vegetables and fruit (thank you veg man!), all food (even gourmet choices like McDonalds and Hardees), Dry Cleaners, etc.
• The exchange rate, which helps those of us who are not getting paid to teach!
• All the beautiful things to see!
• All the greenery
• Flower shops on every road, if not several flowershops
• Fresh Fresh Fresh Mango juice
• Tarek at Phino bakery… mmm… morning baklava and fresh crossiants…
• Hearing at least 4 languages being spoken as I walk home
• Experiencing new things everyday
• Egyptian food… mmm carbs!
• For once I have an accent!
