Egyptians Get Married A Lot

Well, this is long overdue. 

Hi guys, I got back from Suez like two days ago. My family goes so much, they have now rented an apartment there. The apartment is great. The balcony overlooks the street and I think the street quite sums up Egypt in one picture (that I didn't take because I forgot). The only downside to Suez is there's no wifi. I mean at their/our? apartment, not in like the whole area. While I would like to say it was great to "unplug" and have a "break from the world of social media", I'm 16 and I can't say that because teenagers (and others) love the internet. So that part killed me, otherwise it was fun. 

We ate fish and visited with their extended family. We went to a wedding. (Not sure who's but someone on Mohamed's side). Aside from that we just chilled. 

Something I feel is really important to mention (just because I love Mean Girls), they played the movie Mean Girls on TV. I've seen that movie probably a million times, but I have yet to get sick of it. They (meaning the TV station probably) did cut out some parts. Well not really parts just like lines. I knew what lines were cut out, but if that was your first time watching it, the movie made less sense than it did before, plus the lines make the movie. I do, however, completely understand why they cut out the lines that they did (because I now know about Egyptian culture, and I'm winning this exchange thing).

If I had pictures that would make this whole post more interesting, but I don't. So this was just a little bit about my weekend... Yeah. 

*Edit* But wait! I found a picture. While we were visiting with their family. This kid showed me his Arabic Yuh-Gih-Oh (I don't think I spelled that right) cards. 


I thought they looked cool. *End Edit*

Also I'm going to Luxor and Aswan during break. I cannot wait. If you don't know Luxor and Aswan are two towns/cities/areas south of Cairo. It's a really far way away and I didn't think if be able to go, but I am. They have all the cool temples and historical stuff so I'm super excited. Plus I get to take a train. I grew up around trains and I'm interested to see the comparison. 

Okay. That's all. 

Stay beautiful.
