American living in Cairo talks about her life there

[seifamr1]

at last someone talks about egypt quite good :D

u know what u cheered me up :D

[TK421ps]

I am sure Lara Logan found the culture over there just as pleasant as you all are making out. Sure the majority of folks are good people but don't pretend that there arent bad islamic apples over there too.

[0blivionKnight]

what a lovely lovely lady. I'd love to hear more from her, not just about this particular topic, but even more. Respect.

[HijabulousTV]

Its SO refreshing to hear about Egypt, where I live, from a different and foreign perspective!

[whiterussian22]

I've been to Egypt many times, and I love this country! I felt safer than in europe.

[SmoochyDude]

@whiterussian22 LOL I am an egyptian, and i think u went to another egypt that no body knows dood wakeup !

[whiterussian22]

@SmoochyDude No way, I was walking alone in Cairo at night totally alone and I'm a very pretty girl. Nothing bad happened to me. I was in dark streets too, where no other tourists were. People were staring at me, but nobody would hurt me. I went to Cairo like 8-10 times. I feel bad for you, if you scare so easily.:)))

[SmoochyDude]

@whiterussian22 oh poor me i feel bad for me too xD LOL...

[whiterussian22]

@SmoochyDude Ok, I'm teasing you :P When I visited Egypt many times, these were all before the arab spring and other turbulences. I went to do shopping to thalat harb street and july 26th street and many smaller streets around, but i don't remember, because I was lost in the heat of shopping :)) I also went to khan el khalili market and places where there were no tourists around me, and I'm very pretty blonde girl, but i didn't wear anything too revealing. nobody ever harassed me really.

[TruthPowerful1]

Egypt's wealth is stolen by Mubarak ( imagine he stole 70Billion dollars from the tax money, paid by the honest Egyptians)Egyptian Army are trained by the Israeli special Forces.All their Army Generals are beneficiary of Mubaraks loot, all sports Jewish concubines.They are drunkard and useless.This is the time for the Peoples Army to take over. This is the time.

[norb1937]

How come they did not protest when the army assasins shot Anwar Sadat?

[interfc118]

egypt is fuckin amazing lol. like everything literally happens there hahaha! 

[grldn8utoo]

Are women in Egypt highly prone to sexual harassment?

[ugandansweetie]

@grldn8utoo

yah, its kinda of weird since they are muslim

[usa2008egypt]

I am an American, married to an Egyptian. What this lady has said is all so true. Very nice video. I wish some of the people in America would watch this video so they would stop stereo-typing and would know that Egyptians and Muslims are really nice and kind. I hear so many people saying bad things about Muslims and they have no idea of how most Muslims really are....very kind people.

[norb1937]

@usa2008egypt I would not go to Egypt even if the trip was free. Back in the 80s the muslim brotherhood or some other shitty group machine gunned a bus load of American and European tourists in Egypt. I would not visit any of the Caribbean islands either. Since you have to stay at the walled in hotel compound at night. Its not safe there either. Oh Yeah. Come to Jamaica and feel all right. What bullshit.

[norb1937]

@usa2008egypt Too bad most Egyptians are not like Omar Shariff

[coopertulip]

I am an egyptian .. this woman said it 100% true.. the good points and the bad ones also.

[norb1937]

@coopertulip Yes the Muslim brotherhood could shoot you in the ass or blow you up.

[egyptianstrider2000]

@norb1937

another truth most of American people are ignorants,

muslims are not terrorists but you american I mean your government makes Muslims your enemies .

we don't like to be your enemy .

just leave us alone and do not support dictators in our countries .

[norb1937]

@egyptianstrider2000 How come you people did not riot when your military killed Anwar Sadat? You just let them put this bum in as president.In this country we have the FBI doing stings to get the crooks out of the government and lock them up.

[norb1937]

@egyptianstrider2000 Thats our politicians doing that shit. They should have to live with the dictators and see how they like it.

[egyptianstrider2000]

@norb1937

I know most of the American people support the Egyptian revolution

we do not hate American people .

for real we wanna live in peace and have strong relationship with the American people

[norb1937]

@egyptianstrider2000 The politicians are afraid that the radical muslims will take over the country.

[egyptianstrider2000]

@norb1937

most of Egyptians do not like radical Muslims , we just need our FREEDOM

Mubarak is a corrupted man and America supports him to protect Israel .

[cornelius386]

I like this woman. She's very pretty and a sweet, intelligent person.

[cornelius386]

The big difference between Egypt and the USA is that Egypt has a real culture. The mainstream American culture is bankrupt. There's only commercial culture where corporations tell people what they should like, what they should think and value. That's why young people in America tend to gravitate toward subcultures like hip hop, punk, or skateboarding life. They don't have a culture. There's a void within them. America is not superior just because it has more wealth.

[norb1937]

@cornelius386 Oh yeah. Culture. Wearing dynamite belts and blowing themselves and other people up. They gave some Arab a full scolarship to Jersey City university. Then they found out afterward he was one of the crew that put the fertilizer bomb under the towers. When they were kicking him out he made threats. They had to go over the whole place with a bomb sniffing dog.

[acdekl1]

@cornelius386 i agree

[AQUARIUS57]

Well said and very true



[mohamedsalahaldin]

well, for any one who is thinking to visit to live in Egypt, i am advising to avoid cairo and try any other city, cairo will leave a very bad impression about egypt, it's better to try Alexandria

[sagitaria1185]

This is great info to know. I am going to visit a friend in Cairo next year!

[ElZebbElkebeer]

no cairo is buty

[egyptianstrider2000]

yes Cairo is a dirty shit hole

[JustAbe1020]

@egyptianstrider2000 Way to have pride of your damn country

[egyptianstrider2000]

@JustAbe1020

I said the truth !

[JustAbe1020]

@egyptianstrider2000 Hmm, well you don't know where to go in Cairo to have fun then. I'm not even Egyptian and I'm liking your country. Lmao. Where do you live?

[egyptianstrider2000]

@JustAbe1020

I speak about pollution , trash , noise and traffic jam, i am not a tourist looking for fun in Nile cruise or night clubs, it is daily life .

I live in Egypt but not in Cairo .

[JustAbe1020]

@egyptianstrider2000 I am not looking for fun. I just come across fun cause that's what Egypt's got to offer. Where in Egypt.

[whiterussian22]

@egyptianstrider2000 I agree with you, it's very polluted, just like Luxor, but still, these cities are so charming and their atmosphere still pulls my heart back...

[norb1937]

@egyptianstrider2000 For once the truth.

[boshcash2010]

... wow, an interesting insight to life in Egypt.

How long have you lived there?

[One4theworld]

TY for the video.
