The reasons why I like Egypt:

I like Egypt.

I like standing at the top of the Mosque, the solemn prayers of the Muslin resounding in the air of the city of Cairo;

I like wandering in the Egypt Museum, turning back to see the beautiful Goddess Nut fluttering open her wings;

I like loosing my thoughts in the finest, invaluable jewels;

I like fondling gazing at the most mystic pictograph engraved into the fine, pure marbles;

I like the huge statues in the lonely universe;

I like the relief on the walls, and the romantic myths in them;

I like sitting on a small boat, floating in on the golden Nile;

I like the intoxicating deep blue of the Red Sea;

All in all, I like Egypt.

The reasons why I dislike Egypt:

I don't like seeing a plump Arab woman wrapped in black veils and robes, carrying a heavy basket on the top of her head, holding in her hands two children and passing the subway tunnel in great difficulty.

I don't like becoming the focus of the small Egyptian town, who rarely meet single women from eastern countries.

I don't like to be caught by a local person who actively promotes everything to me: tourist guide services, sailing boats, carriages, perfumes, papyrus, and the high price for foreigners.

These are all my views toward Egypt, my own personal opinions. To me the significance of any journey is to judge everything in my own vision, in zero distance.
