dilemma

I am a nice person. Whenever I see the guards or receptionists in my building I say the proper Arabic greetings. In the morning I say صباح الخير! (roughly "morning of goodness") and at night I say مساء الخير! (night of goodness). But no one ever taught me what to say in the middle of the day! So between the hours of 12pm and 4pm-ish I am very impolite.

You're awesome. I love reading about your adventures in Egypt. Were you being serious about me visiting, because I really am thinking about it. Your pictures and stories are quite awesome! Ahhh, I would love to ride a horse in the desert and see the pyramids, or have diner on a boat in the Nile.

Yaa Ariel,

Maybe... "ba3adazur ul-kheir?" But that sounds a bit awk.

Also, btw, we are now officially blogging buddies (cf. the links section in my abroad blog).

Blessings from the Dub,
