Egypt in the Summer

No offense, Monnik, but when my husband saw Tamer Hosny in your signature he said, ohhhh I hate that guy! He is khawwal!

my husband doesn't like him either for some reason.

I've been to egypt 3 times - once in December/January, once in June and once in August. It wasn't too bad after you get used to it. I lay under the fan at our apartment a lot and avoided going out in the middle of the day. That worked well

Why would I be offended? He is not liked by a lot of people, but I don't know why. I actually think he's kind of ugly. That's why I put him in my signature cuz he wasn't all HOT! But, his songs are cute and I can understand most of them, so I am content.

My husband CLAIMS the same thing - he can't sing, he's the KH-word, he sucks, whatever - but he still knows the words to his songs and claps and sings in the car when a lively song of Tamer's is playing.

It definitely reminds me of envy that guys get for someone who gets a lot of attention from the girls. You know, like N'Sync or BSB, every guy in America was saying how gay they were and their songs were stupid, but somehow they all know the songs.........weird??? It doesn't help that in Egypt, almost every singer is an actor, too. And, all of Tamer's songs are forced upon the masses with songs, videos, movies, and commercials............

But, that doesn't mean that your husbands are like that. (envious I mean) I am just comparing the way my husband is to the way I have seen guys act over any heartthrob or new IT guy.......... (you can substitute any guy here - I have seen it with Brad Pitt, The ROCK, and others)

Also, his younger brother is 15 and he LOOOOOOOOOOVES Tamer. I think it's kind of like Tamer belongs to the new wave of singers. Kind of why I never fell head over heels for N'Sync - but the NKOTB was a different story!!!!!!! hardy harr harr

I told him I felt like such a wimp and that Egyptians and Middle Easterners in general were really strong but he just said they're used to it. I'm sorry but I don't know how anyone can get used to living in those conditions, though people do it all over the world. I have a whole new respect.

You remind me of grant i had in West AFrica one summer. The other Americans there were from San Francisco, Boston, St. Paul, all these northern places where the summers just are not so extreme. I was the only one from a city that was as hot (and sometimes hotter) than Africa. I was hot, but fine. They were melting. You do get use to it, but no matter how use you are to it, it is still HOT!

My husband and I just got back from Vegas about two weeks ago. It was only 115 during the day when we were there. All of us from Florida (a bunch of us went to a conference) thought it wouldn't be that bad because we are used to 95 and humid. HA HA HA! I know feel FL is pretty moderate and tolerable.

It's all about perspective.

I felt so bad though 'cause it seemed like I didn't want to be with him. I did but I was just so freakin' hot and between sweating to death, having him hurlin' every 5 minutes and both of us fighting for the bathroom it just wasn't that romantic dreamboat vacation we had hoped for.

You two will just have to make up for it when he gets here

I think it will either be Disney or Vegas. Those are the two places he's dying to go.

Doodle please excuse my ignorance if my question/comment seems that way. I thought your husband was a religious guy? I can't understand why a religious person would want to go to "sin city"? I mean everything there is about drinking, gambling, smoking, and half naked women. Wouldn't that make him uncomfortable?

Don't get me wrong, I love that place. We just bought 7 tickets last night for our honeymoon too, yes we are taking the whole family.

I thought it was weird too. He's not super religious though, just for the record. He does pray 5 times a day and doesn't eat pork and a few other things but he also does things that aren't exactly halal as well. That being said he would never gamble. The attraction is tv I think. I never realized they aired the show Vegas in Egypt but he loves that show and is entranced with all the nightlife, etc. He said he doesn't want to gamble but he does want to see it all out of curiosity.

He also wants to see Disney and I found there's an equally big fascination between he and his sisters with Mickey Mouse.

In addition the Statue of Liberty is up there on his to do list not for the obvious immigrant coming to america wanting to see the lady with the torch reason but because apparently the statue was originally supposed to have been shipped to Egypt. I never knew that before.

Heh, I had the exact same thought when reading it. Perhaps it's just curiosity factor.

I think it would be great to go to Disney though.

*looks like I started to reply before Doodle's reply showed up. Oops.

Would he be ok with seeing the waitresses in the casinos? They outfits are usually very revealing. I mean when I think of vegas, I think of the guys handing out the flyers for strippers, drunk people, and gambling. I would say someone who prays 5 times a day is religious but what do I know? I haven't been to church in a long time so "sin city" is right up my alley. LOL

I think he would like disney better too.
