Regarding the following comments -

1. "The hassle of getting married---legal or illegal--- is done before you can figure out what is going, Amber." Seeing as it can take up to two weeks be married at the Ministry of Justice in Cairo with money and baksheesh going in all directions to various Ministry departments and in different locations all over Cairo plus the great possibilty of health checks for Amber because she is Asian, makes me think that Amber would know what was going on.

2. ."He may want you for the sole fact that you are Asian so he can brag to all his friends at the bar and mosque about it." Lots of funny points in this statement. I would be interested to know where there is a "bar" in Egypt that Egyptians hang out in when they are not permitted to drink alcohol? In a coffee shop smoking a shisha and sipping Turkish coffee - maybe, but highly unlikely that an on-line relationship with an Asian woman would be discussed even there. Out of respect for Islam this would not be a topic to be discussed in a mosque. Asians are generally not the preferred choice of foreign women by Egyptian men. (No disrespect meant Amber).

Nice to see that you have a sense of humor.
