Well...i'm not too sure how to start this! I'm a (half) Egyptian girl, currently living in London. I have so many views on life in Egypt, especially Cairo...even though i've never lived there before! I love reading peoples blogs...especially the ones concerning life in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East, which is why i thought i'd start my own...but now i'm here i don't know where to start!
Anyway, i thought i'd call this "a new, fresh, Egyptian start" (stupid name i kno....but i have a limited imagination), because i'm planning to live in Cairo for a year...starting in July 2007-ish, and i'm stupid enough to think that people would like to share my experiences with them! I'm off to Egypt in just over a week to organise everything for my year living there, so thought it was the perfect time to start a blog, and maybe to get others ideas of what i could do with myself whilst i'm there---and any advice would be greatly appriciated! I'm a teenage girl that's used to having loads of freedom whilst in London, am finding my intrusive family quite restricting while in Cairo, and seeing as i hardly speak any Arabic, my problems deepen!
I'm sure many people know EXACTLY what i'm talking about....?

Saw your question on Forsooth's blog, so I thought I'd answer it here. I studied Arabic at AUC for six months before enrolling as a full-time student...it's a good enough program, so you'll definitely get your money's worth.
Aw thanks for the advice...i've been recieving so many mixed signals about the AUC, so am going to try check it out when i'm in Cairo in just over one week...! i can't wait!! Did you live on the AUC's campus? I'm hoping to stay there...my family are quite intrusive, and i feel staying there would be my only escape!
