Notebook or laptop

Recently, I was thinking of replacing my classical notebook with a laptop to record my agenda and my notes. the problem is that it is heavy and I can't stand taking it everywhere. I am thinking what the old people were doing to remember things. were they able to memorize all things without writing it down? It looks like a big problem, doesn't it?

Egypt seas difference

in My opinion the Meditarranean white sea is more wavy than the Red sea. The meditrannean sea fish is less delcious than those of the red sea. Bori is yummy fish actually. I do like it so much. The above pic is for the Bori fish which I do like.

Shawerma

Al-basal or onion or the egyptian broth

It is the Tearing bulb succulent plant. I think Egyptian do love to put this Fruit inside the meat or chicken  broth. It gives a nice taste and it can be hypnotic. If you are working, I advice not to eat this onion containing broth. In weekends, it is funny to eat it and have a good rest after eating. Cooked onion is nice but uncooked one sound like  harmful to the mouth odour. Ginger or Dill is a good thing to counteract the odour of the uncooked onion.   in Arabic the onion is called al basal or al-basal البصل

Pies or Feter at Attaba Square

Today, It was the week end here in Egypt. I got a cute walk in Attaba near Azbakia fence and garden, Near 23 July street I have found a guy selling some pies and Pizza. I made up my mind and I went to buy some pies and a pizza from him, It was not expensive but it tasted delicious actually. Down town never stops to amaze me actually. I also tried a sandwich of shawerma and Kofta. They were also wonderful. I was a bit paranoid but today, I was courageous enough to try that Food. I have tried pies with jam, sugar and that was the one with honey one which I missed. Actually It is called Fetera ( the plural is Feter) which I tried and The guy who makes and sells them is called Fatatry. الفطير الفطاطري الفطيرة

No Way area

Looking at some parts of life, you can detect that there is a no way area. People who are searching for love and honesty , they should find it. while people who are searching for hatred and cheat , they should find it. The balance is always on. If we want the truth we should get it. What does it mean to live without what you love?  Love your life whatever It is. The weather here in Cairo is wonderful ( a bit cool ) . I am eating boiled Eggs today with spices.  Meeting new GOOD people is always a good choice to relax but  where you can meet those people. Some times I don't find those kind of people and I get targeted by those bad ones. But  I discover that  I will be good at the end. I am off now to Midal al tahrir for some walks. See ya

The pyramidal shape of Egyptian Culture

Today, I am thinking of how the pyramids affect the Egyptian culture Look at the pyramids and you can conclude a lot of things. The Pyramids seems like established by kids in the old time as a baby toy. The business pharaonic people are looking for higher things to do. I think Old people was huge in nature and taller than us. that can explain a lot about the pyrmaids and the sphinx.

Egyptian Co-ordination

Beauty without wisdom or wisdom without beauty. I like fifty fifty, 50 beauty and 50 wisdom, Someone gets into the library and order a French fries, burger and milk shake, is that person sane by any way? One also gets into  butcher's to get a T shirt.here is a small challenge can Some one drink some milk after a grilled fish meal? The answer is that this is stomach abuse. Our body systems should detect the capacity and coordinate with each other. Feeling is a good thing, the stomach should feel the brain and the brain should feel the stomach. The Government and the people should work in co-ordination. The experience of Life should be written down and preserved for the upcoming generation. That can be my opinion. Have you heard about the stowaway rat in that plane which scares the passengers. Imagine you are in a plane and sleeping and once you found something playing in your leg and finally you discovered it is a rat. Will you scream or do something ?

Meat, Peas and carrot in Cairo

I boil the meat before grilling and and after getting out from the grill squeeze some lemon. It tastes good. By the way, peas in Arabic is besella باذلاء أو بسلة carrot in arabic is Gazar جذر meat in Arabic is La7ma لحمor la7m

Anti-aging cream and Olive oil

When I asked her about her age, she told me I will not answer you.I was thinking today what a woman will never ever ever tell her age. I think this is because a woman want to boast about herself like the Turkey .or may be I don't know. But A man can detect the real age in some times, while in some cases Age can be hidden by sight. Some ladies use anti aging creams to hide their real age. The Olive oil is a wonderful anti-aging, in Arabic the olive oil is zayt alzaitoun or zait alzaiton or zeyt al zaton, زيت الزيتون

Al-jazeera in Egypt

Al-jazeera in Arabic means like the Island in English. Aljazeera is a satellite channel and news agency in Qatar broadcasting news and stuff. Aljazeera is a good title for a post that is why I posted this post under that post. Aljazeera can be a name for a trade mark for building and construction service. Aljazeera is a perfect place to stay if you don't wanna be bothered. aljazeera is something that was not discovered till now. Aljazeera can be a machine for desert growing. I'm rambling today as usual.

Wekalet al-bala7

It is called wekalet albala7 or wikalet albala7 or weklaet el-bala7 or elbala7 or just el wekala. It is located near the 23 july street ( Isaaf area) . It is like a big super market and bargain where you can get clothes, used car spare parts. the arabic name is وكالة البلح which literally means the agency of the dates.I knew that this name is due to the fact that people were trading the dates during the old time ( may be the pharonic time or later). It is near to the NIle side by the way. I think  The majority of people women. They like super markets. But I think this place if for the moderate class people in Egypt.

Biological clock

what can be an Egyptian snack food or snack dish?

I think I don't like canned food actually. I do search for a a natural snack food. Hence we find most Egyptian are consuming natural cultural Egyptian snack food. Let's spot some light upon the Egyptian snack food or snack Dish. sudany or sudani (peanuts) Lebb asmar or lebb masri or lebb masy لب Hommos or 7ommos Termis ترمس I see egyptian eats that in spring fishar ( popcorn) 3een al-gamal fozdoq or fozdo2 soromba2 ( it is extracted from the sea) Mishabbek or zalabia 3een al-gamal or 3en el-gamal This one is Mishabek I think Those snack dishes are usually having high energy or calorie content

Toys for Egypt

When I was a kid, I had some toys and puzzles from those known trademark like Fisher price and Ledo. I think I enjoyed those games, toys and puzzles. in my opinion,  Now, The kids worldwide are deprived of Joy and enjoyment of playing. That can be because of the poor economic state or mass destruction wars or something else. Any way, I am not going to look for the reasons.in Egypt, there is a doll called Fulla , It is a movie cartoon character. This was for girls. what about Boys? I think boys tends to playing Xbox and playstation games. There are a lot of stores of Toys in Egypt actually,  There is a place in Dokki Mesaha Area near Orman garden called "My Kids" or happy Kids or something like this . I don't remeber the name actually.

Franchise in Egypt

I remember I was playing Ghost buster game and I should keep the franchise by beating all the ghost around the city. Now, Technology is allowing you to get a real franchise online. If I have money and a good place, I will search for a franchise for business. I think Egypt need a lot of international stores .I am going to find something    Keep it in secret. My cat is crying wa domtom bekhayr  

The best trade in Egypt

I think Egypt market is fertile because of the fact that the population in Egypt is huge and increasing. In Economics, the more people, the more growth. Investment in Egypt is fertile. There are a lot of good famous Sectors of investment in Egypt like: Cotton gaining sector, mining sector, transport sector, housing sector.... I think The problem is that the financial support may become weak. I watched Ron Paul yesterday, Euro/$ is increasing while he is speaking.

Egyptian Ahly fans are not polite

When in Comes to Sport in Egypt, I find people seems like they forget that sport means practice and politeness.I find Egyptian people are only fans for sport but a lot of them do not practice any.I find They Egyptian people are looking for  sport news for fun and riot. I have seen that match with Alnegm alsa7ely, It looks like the fans attack the other Team because it won the cup while the Ahly did not. The besides the bad language and insulting lyrics they use in the match. Should We call that sport? I call that offensive arrogancy myself. There should be ethics.

what about the Health care in Egypt ?

As we know, Health care is the value of a civilized nation.I think Egyptian Health care is not bad . Egypt have countless of clever health professionals. The problem is that we need a strict organizing system here. From news I see The Egyptian minister of Health is doing his best. I guess there will be a good improvements in Health care in Egypt. I expect a great progress in Health care on the upcoming days. But Let me write about some negative points. I feel like there is no system that regulates the relation between the health professional and the patient. That means It  can be difficult for a patient to report a doctor and vice verse.  This can be a narrow opinion and I can be wrong. here is the website of the Egyptian ministry of health and population (we zaret al se7a wal sokkan fe masr) http://www.mohp.gov.eg/ The number of ambulance in Cairo [dial from a land line]  (3 or 2) 5743235 Giza [dial from a landline ](3 or 2 )5615459 you can find the other Egyptian gover...

Egypt bridges should be taken into accounts

Weeks ago, We heard about that Bridge collapse in Minneapolis , Today, I heard something similar has happened  in  Dubai. They say There was a bridge in Marina Dubai and It collapsed. The problem now is who is responsible for those accidents. People life is not a game. There should be safety and security standards. There should be an international laws to guarantee the lives  of those who dies in those accidents. Why does not the UN legislate something stating about those horrible accidents. How will the kin of those labourers do if they got no enough support. The Egyptian government should also do the security and safety issues to secure the bridges. I hope to hear something about new legislation for safety Roads and Bridge in Egypt and in every European , Asian, African countries .

Where to eat Ice cream in Egypt?

Best thing you make it yourself, Here is the recipe for the ice cream. it may be the easiest recipe for ice cream 3 cups of milk 1 cup of sugar 3 eggs eggs white ------------------------ Mic the milk with sugar then mix the eggs white and mix till they become homogenous . Then you should prepeare some cream chante with some Vanilla about 4 cups and put them portionwise to the  mixtures. Stirring is important. Try this, it should work.

Egypt Madinati in Cairo-Suez road

I don't know why I find it difficult to start a living into a place far from down town. It might be ok for some of you to live in Madinaty. Buying an apartment in Madinati can be a good option fro people who have no connection with downtown area. but to be fair , People,  who are searching for tranquility, can find a lot of rest in Madinati. The prices there should be cheaper than the prices of the downtown or mohandissen or Dokki apartment. If they are of the same prices, then I think People should go for those old areas. The subject here is money investment, buying an apartment can be  a good investment on long and short term. so I think People should calculate it right before. People say " Madinaty will be the biggest all inclusive city in the Middle East."  I don't understand this statement. what will be new in that Madinaty city? Who cares if it is Big or not? There is something here I do not understand.

Egyptian Hairdressers or barbers might be an insult

When someone dislike you , he can say that you are "Hallaq or 7alla2 or 7allaq" that means you are a hairdresser. May be That is because People are used to view the egyptian hairdresser or the Egyptian barber as boring bugging person.  To be honest, I think some of them might be boring and some is not. With due respect to hairdressers and barbers around here .

Egytian Sad Al-7ank Halawa Recipe

Sad al-7ank or sad al-hank. This means blockage of the mouth.

I think this looks like an Egyptian dessert recipe.by the way It tastes nice.

How to make EgyptianTahina salad?

cut the tomatoes into pieces then add them to the Tahina after dilution with some water and  some vinegear and salt and lemon. you can also put an entire  branch of Dill or parsley. Hint: I think Tahina is a raw material. you can buy it from a grocery in Egypt. Just tell the seller you want a jar of Tahina ( Bartaman  Tahina). I think they manufacture this Tahina from The sesame ( the semsem).

The smell comes into your nose while you are moving, then Your secretion of saliva starts, you dream of that Egyptian Falafel Sandwich. The more hot the Falafel is, The more fun you get.

Egypt spinach against cancer ?

I don't know why I think so. Today I ate a spinach. We bought it from those people sitting and selling the veggies. It taste wonderful. I think They cook it with the green coriander , tomatoes and rice. I was thinking that this spinach must have something that has a cancer protecting activity. Some people say this spinach is not of an egyptian origin but it is of a French (Français) origin. Washing the spinach is very important because it can contain E.coli bacteria . I think One can wash it by vinegar then by water.

Runny nose in Egypt

Transportation prices in Egypt

In Egypt, Because Taxi fees are not fixed ,Taxi drivers can cost you more that the fees. you should be aware of the correct rates.  I heard about the city Cab project in Cairo and Alexandria. They have a number you can call and order a car with  a driver who will ride you to the place you want. I heard The rates are fixed per Kilometer ( not Sure) If you are traveling inside Egypt from town to town you should go  for Super jet buses, Trains or planes , I think They are usually of fixed prices so Don't need to worry so much.

Energy game in Egypt

While I am reading here and there, and talking  to some people. I got some ideas about New sources of Energy in Egypt. 1- Solar Energy: Good source of energy and heat. this energy can be tranformed into electricity, heat . storage of latent energy into substance that keeps it. 2- Nuclear Energy: from Newspaper I heard they began to use it. 3- preparing Petrol material from Living organic waste products under certain condition I think this is possible. Industry is progressing and We hope one day we can see people making their own oil and petrol. I don't know if those new things are taken into consideration or not. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

For Ego in Egypt

Different point of view can evoke an intellectual conflict. In Egypt, I see there are a lot of points of view. The problem is that every one think that his or her point is right. then an Ego defending-attacking dispute arises. Like all the world countries, I think This ego issue should be eradicated as soon as possile. What do you think?
