Life in Alex, Egypt

I took this video when I was visiting my family in Alexandria, Egypt.

Here you can see how people live their daily lives and the challenges they face.  Somehow these people manage to keep going, day by day.

I will update my blog with more videos from Egypt and I will try to show the side that nobody likes to show.   Maybe somebody in Egypt will listen, although I doubt they will.

Look at how dirty the streets are and notice areas where the authorities in Egypt started digging in the streets and they didn't fix it.  Also, watch how people are forced to hang outside of public transportation (buses, trains).  The sad part about it is that nobody (the government) cares about their safety and they have no choice but to ride this way.  Unfortunately, for some, it leads them to their death.

Egypt's Future

Egypt's Dark Future

Is it our future? Is it going to be the same again for 30 more years? Is it going to be the shame again?

What Gamal Mubrak has to give more than his dad, another agent for USA and the Israeli? We need to be free, we need to have dignity, we need to govern as a people, not just few people, we need to talk and be heard, and we need to get our pride back.
We will say "enough is enough"; we don’t want more bull-shit from our President.
Why is it that silence is the only language we are talking? Do we become a dead body, not able to move or scream. We are getting more poor every day, what has Mr. Husni done?  I believe in the Egyptian people, we have the smartest people in the whole world, so why are we not moving forward, why are so many people unemployed?
Why aren't we like the Chinese and the Indian; they are both moving forward and we are moving back.
Is it because Mr. Jamal wants to be a part of any business that comes to Egypt, so all the major companies don't want to invest in Egypt.
They sold everything in Egypt to the investors, and then what, the investors fired the people and closed the factories, they dismantled every bit of it, and then they sold it so that they could make more money.  All because our government made sure that the investors bought these factories for so cheap.
I hope one day people will wake up and talk and say what they want.  If we all talk at the same time we will be heard, they will fear us, we have to talk, we have to resist, that’s the only way to save our country.
I hope everybody thinks about the questions that God will have for us on judgment day, how will you answer these questions?  Is it going to be about Lebanese children who have been killed or about the innocent people in the prisons, or about the people who died in the ferry and the fact that whoever is responsible for the crime is still free, or what and what?  Please if somebody has the answer to these questions, just let me know.  I hope God will be merciful and forgive the shame we have put on Islam, and I hope that our prophet Mohamed forgives us too for what we have done to the best nation has come to the world.

The Catacombs of Kom es-Shoqafa

The Catacombs

           of

Kom es-Shoqafa

This place is so cool.  I think that it was probably our favorite site during this visit to Egypt.

Discovered when a donkey fell through the earth, it has only been opened to the public since 1995.  Aside from the excavation that had to take place in order to get it ready for viewing, mass amounts of water had to be removed as well.  This site is very close to the Mediterranean coast and the water seeps up through the ground in this area of Alexandria.

For more in-depth information on this historic site, I found this website to be very informative, http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/komelshuqafa.htm.

This picture is of the Roman theater in Alexandria, Egypt. The story behind how they discovered this site is interesting yet sad at the same time.

One day a husband and his wife were walking on the street and suddenly the wife was no longer with her husband.  what he didn't know is that she had fallen into a hole in the ground.  Well, he couldn;t figure out what happened to her so he called in the authorities to help out.  After thorough searching they finally found out what had happened and realized that the ground was not stable.

The amazing thing is that they uncovered this incredible historic site, the sad part of the story is that the wife had died for the discovery.
