Luigi - off topic again

"Isis, if you think that you "know" the Egyptian culture because you visit a resort or expensive hotel in Cairo where people are bribed and paid to be nice to help the economy, you're kidding yourself. I deal with elitist like that all the time at work and at university. Think because they hop on a plane and go someplace they've got all the answers. The defense posts on here clearly reflect that. Secondly, you don't have to be an Egyptian culture expert to figure out a lot of this stuff. Once again, you're too bogged down in irrelevant details. The behavior of this man speaks for itself."

1. I do not visit resorts or expensive hotels anywhere. i live in our own flat with an Egyptian and amongst Egyptians.

2. I am not defending anything on here Luigi - I am stating unbiased facts on Egyptian culture.

3. Whether I am happy or sad is of no concern to you and totally irrelevant to this subject.

4. The "man" as you so delicately put it, has exhibited no type of behaviour that you can scorn.

5. "becreative" states that she is only going back for a holiday - why are you reading "morals" and "high drama" into this?

As for the rest of your post Luigi - I didn't even read it. You need to have true life experience in middle eastern culture before you can offer competent advice on this forum.
