Way back in August, I made a post of my Egypt bucket list. I just accidentally deleted that post, but I want to make an updated version because I'm about halfway through my exchange year :'(
The things in bold I have already done
-See the pyramids
-See the Sphynx
-Eat pigeon
-post picture in Istanbul with a dorky caption (lyrics from the They Might Be Giants song)
-post a picture in New York with different lyrics from the same song
-become comfortable with public transportation
-make friends
-buy stuff for my family in America
-ride a camel
-go sand boarding
-learn to make Egyptian food
-learn Arabic
-develop a British accent
Here is my new list
-eat pigeon
-learn more Arabic
-learn all the words to at least one whole song in Arabic
-go sand boarding
-go to church
-go to Alexandria (mostly the library)
-go to the Egyptian museum (mummies!)
-go see old mosques/churches in old cairo (I think)
-volunteer somewhere, somehow
-learn to make more Egyptian food
-take a belly dancing class.
That's all I have, but if there are other things you all think I should do let me know (especially if you live/have lived in Egypt). I still haven't posted the Luxor/Aswan pictures. I will as soon as I can I promise. Also, I hung out with the Sojth African exchange student who leaves in a few days. Neither of us spoke much Arabic but we bought movie tickets, popcorn, and dinner by ourselves. Take that language barrier. (We get it Corie, you can speak Arabic, congrats.) Plus the guy wouldn't take my money because it was "mesh hilwa". What did my money ever do to you? You're mesh hilwa. Just kidding.
If you enjoyed this post like it and Corie in Egypt on Facebook. (If you want)
If you have questions, concerns, comments, leave them below. (If you want)
If you want to share my blog with your fellow humans, that would be appreciated.
You are awesome, I love you, have a wonderful day and learn something.
