Bawabs or doormen

There was a movie revealing somethings about Bawabs in Egypt. firstly, Let me tell you what bawab is. He is usuallly the man who stay in a room behind the stairs. It is said that he takes care of the building. He can be your guide if you wanted to ask about something. He can also be a spy to the landlord or the landlady. but let it be clear, Bawab is usually an illiterate man and talking with him should be by a simple way so that he can understand. He can be your friend or he can scare you. If you want no problems, try to show him that you are a simple, modest , not stupid and not hard. That is my opinion about Bawabs. May be I'm right and may be I'm wrong.

Egyptian Hair Removal

Halawa Sweet - Egyptian Hair Removal - Assalya This is a very old, very famous Egyptian recipe for wax that is completely natural and extremely effective. It is basically caramel, right before it reaches the crystallising stage (so it also tastes great). It is relatively simple to make, but take care to observe the carmelizing of the sugar, because the window for the wax to be just right before burning is very small. Do not be frustrated if you burn a batch; even experienced makers do this all the time. The best thing to do is to watch is continuously once the colour changes to golden brown. You can eat it or you can use it as Hair Removal. Ingredients for Halawa Sweet, AKA Sweet, Egyptian Sugar Wax, or Hair Removal by Lucy Elsherif 1. Two cups of water 2.
