837) Cairo Part-Timer !!

I am not gonna talk today about politics, love, relationships, life, or anything. This is one of the personal posts that I bother you with every now and then J

I finally took the decision that I have long waited for ; I am moving out of Cairo by the end of 2015 in-shaa-Allah. Before you say, that is still far away, I would like to tell you that it cant be sudden, and it has to be gradual in order to pull out slowly of the corporate business and establish another in the new destination, and handle how I will continue teaching at AUC as well, and do the Social work at Nahdet El Mahrousa. My Mission is the same, but I may need to change some strategies.

This will take at least 2 years to handle, but just taking the decision itself is a big relief. 

Although I loved Cairo a lot -when I was younger- that I have established a club in its name at AUC and other Egyptian and Foreign universities, but I really cant bare living there or being a full-timer in Cairo anymore. Cairo became a blood, mind, and soul sucking city with all its traffic, air, pollution, aggressiveness  and lost feeling of security. This is not only because of the aftermath of the revolution, I was actually thinking about it since 2006, but the revolution aftermath just came to push me to take the decision without regrets.

So what about Marriage? Ah, I won’t wait to get married and take the decision, that stage is over. I am where I am, and will be where I will be, and the woman who is gonna think about marrying me will know that from the beginning and it is her full choice to join me in such life or “enjoy” Cairo. In addition, I am more closer than ever now regarding not looking for an Egyptian wife with all my respect to Egyptian women.

The challenge is that I still have lots of ideas in development and corporate, that I cant still figure out how to handle while not always being in Cairo. I am sure that I will be able to handle it, specially that I wont completely move out, I will be a part timer being in Cairo 2 or 3 days every week or something of the sort.. The things I know for sure is that I don’t want Cairo to be my home anymore as I already don’t feel belonging there anymore.

Will I succeed in such new life challenge … I don’t know, but I know that I will do my best to take the challenge till the end J

410) Sharm vs. Hurghada!

I used to go to sharm el shiekh once or twice for fun from mid-90s to 2005 then shifted to hurghada when i started having business there. i have always prefered sharm over hurghada..

I have been in sharm for couple of days in business now, and for the 1st time, i start feeling that i feel more comfortable in hurghada!!

Does this have to do with age, or because i have lots of friends in hurghada, or coz sharm became toooo commercial!!

380) Moh@lyics Weekly! Esp. 8

Cairo University: A light at the end of the tunnel. I am really glad that the oldest and biggest university in Cairo in its 100th anniversary is finally extending & expanding by the efforts of the Egyptian people as what happened when it was established. Thanks to Labib El Seba3y in Al Ahram to lead this campaign. This should be the real role of the public owned newspaper, and this should be the role of the society.

Accidents: Khalas mesh momken, accidents everyday, high ways, bridges, streets, everywhere. What happened last week with the AMN MARKAZY car is really sad. These innocent people who died after serving the whole day for malaleem have no one to blame or "compensate them". There must be a new system (not only law) to organize the traffic in Egypt, and Cairo in specific 2abl manmoot kolena.

Hurghada: Akeeeeran I am back in Hurghada after 3 months. Although I am on business but I feel like I am back home. Working between Cairo and Hurghada is my real work-life balance. It is even reflected on the blog where I rarely posted fun stuff in the last 3 months. What I do here in 1 day (business or fun) I do in Cairo in a week. God Bless Red-Sea.

Hurghada ... The right place at the right Time!

Guys, if you can afford to move to Hurghada, you should....Cairo is the Capital of Stress in the Africa and the Middle East...Dont waste your life in stress, traffic, worries, pollution, crowd...Believe me, you wont regret it.

Hurghada saved me from an ugly depression phase that I have been passing through in 2006. After 7 months of living between Cairo & Hurghada (actually last 3 months I spent half of it in Hurghada), I am back on track...better in production at work, working out and moving towards getting in shape, back to my friends, and finally looking for a wife (dunno the wife thing is good or bad ;)

In Cairo, you need an agenda to plan your weekend....parking, friends, traffic...etc...in 1 Weekend I had been to makadi, and Gouna....can you do that in Cairo?!
