Comments on many comments :)

Oh my God! I don't believe that the first week passed so quickly like that! Anyway, this is the proper time to reply to some of your wonderful comments

1-Me........in brief !
I was impressed and surprised that my introductory entery recieved 20 comments. That was a very warm welcomming attitude I have never expected! Thanks a million. On the other side, I have to tell you that my enteries focus intensively on parts of everyday life in Egypt which, as I think, you will not read about in tourism booklets and, maybe, you can't have the chance to learn about when you visit Egypt as tourists. I hope this will not disappoint you.

2-The mankind under attack!
Cheik Vall from Mauritania and Soroush from Toronto:
The advice about avoiding eatin pork was said by many well known physicians and specialists in Egypt. I know that this disease is airbourne, but I think that this virus has the strength and the fatality of bird flu (H5N1) and the ability to transfer from a human to another of the human flu (H1N1). This makes the way of the disease transfer unpredictable. This is, of course, regardless to the other health hazards of eating pork and the fact that Islam bans eating pork which needs no notice.

Sreenadh from India:
Here in Egypt we have alot of well-equipped labs that can analyse thousands of samples within short time.I think that the real problem is not the availablity of equipments. It's all about how to control the outbreak of the swine flu if happened. This is the chief concern of everyone in the globe.

Cristina from Buenos Aires, Argentina:
I can't agree more with most of what you said except about eating pork and the role of pigs in this dilemma.

3-To Rachel, with all respect :)
Also the huge number of comments was absolutely impressive. I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thanks alot for your supportive comments and useful advices.

4- Dusting dusty dustingly dust!!!!!!!
Ernesto from Chile:
You are 100% right. Spring is not supposed to be that bad, but this is the bitter truth in Egypt. Actually, autumn is the best season in the year in Egypt. Unfortunately, it's the beginning of schools activities, so, I can rarely enjoy the fine weather of this season,

Cristina from Buenos Aires, Argentina:
Well, the sales wasn't that good in this day. It was another slow day. Anyway, every thing emproved after that.

Cheikh Vall from Mauritania:
Actually, I am afraid of that too!!!!!! But I can do nothing!!!! Wish me a good luck, brother!!!!

Hyoshil from The UK:
It's nice to know that Egypt is not alone in suffering. Thanks Hyoshi


Thanks again for your sweet comments and I apologize for those whom I didn't reply to their comments.

Have a nice weekend.

Hello! I'd been to Egypt 3 times as a tourist, last time in the may of 2008. When I was at the excursion to Cairo I've been said that the sand winds blow in March.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
