1. King Cairo – Now that’s living!
The cost of living in Cairo is so much lower than in London that you need a lot less money every month to enjoy a good standard of life. Some things ARE expensive, really...but weighing it up though.......I think I know what I would choose.
2. Holding hands in Cairo? Nah……..
The British-ness in me is a deep rooted cultural bed of issues that I was unaware I had and it still flowers, blooms at times, to my amazement. I can just about handle the arm cradling thing. You know what I mean right? The thing that distinguished gentlemen and ladies used to do in the west. I only ever see it now as movie and pop stars approach the walkway of the Oscars (have you noticed that too?)
3. Introducing….Little Egyptian baby Ibrahim
So what was it like having a child in Egypt? Well.......the hospital was.....OMG the doctor really.....and then there was the woman next to us who nearly died......and the staff and their tips it was.......but at least we have managed to get him an Egyptian birth certificate......... that's a few posts at least so you'll have to stay tuned I don't have time right now Beebo is crying.
4. Sharing Food in Cairo
It's not that I'm greedy....I think. Maybe I am! OMG....am I greedy? Why is it that when I open my packet of crisps at work I do not go around to each and every person in the room and offer then some before eating any myself? The Egyptians at my work place do.
5. Hey! Cairo’s new government…It’s the little things
There are some little things which I hope any government sworn into power in Egypt can promise to tackle with speed, if not immediate effect. This is a serious issue and I am not going to belittle the topic by making a Top 10.......actually I will.....I love top 10s. Here is my Top 10 "Little Things" to sort out for any new government in Egypt.

The BCC (Big Cairo Cold)
What is it about Cairo and sickness?
Why all politicians lie? Only God ‘nose̵...
The latest scandal in the Egyptian Lower House is particularly interesting because, well it's smacks of intense.....stupidity more than anything else, and is well.....hilarious! Anwar al Balkimy, an elected representative of the Salafi An Noor Party, became a victim of a carjacking. He appeared in hospital with terrible wounds to his face where mindless thugs, who stole $16,000 and his car, gave him a severe beating. He was shown on TV with his whole face bandaged up, with only his eyes and beard showing.
