Wonderful Culture of Egypt!

Everything in Egypt takes sooooo much more time than in the states BUT there are many great people to help get the work done for a small amount of money. Below are two of our helpers that we LOVE! This is Ali, the makwaggy (ironer). Since there are no clothes dryers most things need ironing. Ali comes to our door every other day and collects any clothes that we need ironed. He returns them in just a short time! Go Ali!!!!!

This is Sahar and she is our house helper. She comes 2 times a week and helps keep our kitchen, bathrooms and floors clean. This is a BIG job! She doesn't like to use anything electrical so she insists on cleaning ALL of our tile and hardwood on her hands and knees. It kills us to watch! We love her smile - it never stops. REMEMBER Sahar everytime you clean your floors.

Being in another country has its own positive side. I know I miss my housekeeper in Japan. It has only been 7 years now. She liked getting on her hands and knees to clean floors. Maybe the Americans are doing things wrong. Continue to enjoy the slow pace of life. In time you will get use to it, and when you return to the USA for a time, you will miss the slower pace of life.
We miss you guys,
