How about those Egyptians?
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 08:03 PM by Brigid
Even with all that is going on in their own country, they are setting up refugee camps and mobile hospitals for Libyans fleeing the violence there. Are they setting a high bar for caring for others or what?

1. They have a lot more experience catering to foreign visitors than most nations
They're culturally "nice" people for the most part.

5. What wonderful people!
The Egyptians aren't a rich people. They must consider themselves fortunate in contrast to their neighbors. One more thing to be proud of, and it isn't ancient history!

7. They're very rich, just not with money
I really would like to go there. My mom has toured there twice. She says it's more fun than Australia.

6. B/c that is part of their religion. They are all brothers and
sisters and you don't bring harm or turn your back on your brothers or sisters. This is a principle americans know little about.
