  • that the weather topic in Egypt strikes very interesting conversations that can continue for hours on end?(and we always try to predict when the winter will come even though it's always late)
  • that we call Al Qahera misr? and the cairo-ismaileya/Alexandria road, misr-ismaileya/Alexandria road?
  • only 5 minutes exposure to Egypt's sun will provide you with all the vitamin D you need?

  • that even though there are a millions of ways to communicate, people aren't really communicating and depression rates are on the rise?

Nice list - resourceful.

About communication, sometimes it's counterproductive for sorrow - we just fail to know when, which is kinda hilarious if you ask me.
