Nile & pyramids....

All was great !!


The big reunion with all our fellows and friends from the states and the Arab world.
The conference was organized by Amideast, at Intercontinental city star hotel(rocks!!) -new egypt in cairo.

It was all amazing there; meeting the American Ambassador (H.E) for Egypt, all the professors, previous mepi students, seeing some great places especially the pyramids and khan al khalele,,,,and the most exciting part was taking the flouka as Egyption call it (boat) at midnight in the Nile singing and having good accompany....
Now, I believe every word was said about the Nile magic; and how it spreads Love and calm to people walking on its Korneesh or just waving to its beauty !!



Unfortunately, the time was very limited to hang out and see the place, since the conference was starting at 10:00am till 6.00 pm .
thus we didn't see much of the pyramids just from outside, we headed there at 6.00am and had to came back to the hotel at 10am before they start :(



I had a very funny story riding habiba horse at the pyramids area, let me tell u what happened; I was on the black horse -which was named habeba as the've told me- just like some others of my friends, we were riding it for the first time and not used to do it.
suddenly, the horse started running very fast and i wasnt holding the cord well; then I started screaming MAMA...HElP I couldnt stop him and I was about to fall, untill agood egyption old man stopped the horse and calmed him down,,,after that they warned me that this horse in particular loves running ...lucky me,,,,u should have seen me riding the horse very fast and screaming ...haha

Time Passes Really Fast- MEPI'S at Cairo !! :)

Yesterday; I was saying I'll miss you all, my brothers and sisters, my friends whom I met at the United States, which amazed us all with no exceptions.
And Today; here we are MEETING NEXT WEEK !!!!YEAH.

There was a quete "Time flies when you are having fun" ,and that was so true.
What about time when you are waiting some!!someone, someday, something, an event, anniversary, relatives back from along trip. Let me say what about time when you think of it as a chance to refresh your ever lasting wonderfull memories!

Today, I am counting minutes, even more seconds till I meet my friends at Cairo.
We're reunioning in the MEPI leadership conference on the 25th-29th of March(this month).

Arrangments to travel takes time, but more and more when it is for Palestinians.Everything here is like nothing in the rest of the world unluckily.
To get our Visas, We need to travel to Amman two days(in case) before the conference,
then to the Egyption Embassy there to get the visas on our passport; so we can fly and join the others.

I was just wondering how complex and simple life is!!! Paradox, I think this is the word required.
I left a whole new family at the states, established in less than 7 weeks, we got to know each others, discover about our countries even our Arab world, how big, how far , how similar, we became really close to each other is a very short time; this doesn't happen always. We left each others with tears and wishings to meet again , but not for sure...stayed in contact, pushed for hope for each one, wished happy days and birthdays for everyone on Facebook,,,,and still teasing each others..funny things.
we didn't forgot the place nor the people who make this happen..
But we always asked is it the last time we meet? It seems not thanks Allah, eventhough after the coming conference we need to reask the same question, but no need t wait for an answer...This is tha paradox...
Maybe I am not able to explain what Iam feeling at the moment, but...why can't we meet people we miss whenever we want, we are still alive not dead, there must be a chance ,one more time....
How can I leave you my Egyption friend again after you becoming my third sister, ...and,...life goes on.

Can't wait to be at Cairo with MEPI's and Prof.Magee again!!!:)
