Right now we are building a road to China, renovating 60 secondary schools, helping privatize the national airline and some banks, that sort of stuff. My dad always said I should figure out where I would like to go on holiday, and then find a job there.Thanks dad! |

| Your post leave me longing for my past life in Egypt. | SunDog
Oct 8, 2002 9:41 AM | | Ah, the good life. The adventure of culture and exploration are truely special. Its nice to see someone living the life.
I really miss plying the Sinai wilderness and other parts of Egypt, where I lived for 9 years, on my MTB and living amongst the Bedouin. Almost every weekend we would explore a new area on MTB's traveling the natural landscape or via ancient camel/goat trails to just about any place we desired. And when we were not doing that we were scuba diving in the Red Sea. I long for the freedom and spirit of adventure of that life.

| YouEgypt sounds awesome! | UberClyde
Oct 8, 2002 5:06 PM | | My best friend is working in Aqaba Jordan and doing the kind of exploring you describe, plus some scuba. He loves it but says they don't make a camelbak big enough for the heat.
I hope you get back overseas and live the life again, I think I am addicted. Especially now that GWB seems so intent on another war. |
