It's been too long


Egypt! The love of my life
I found the coolest, most amazing, most perfect way of going back to egypt! Its more then just a holiday and my parents will be so pleased if i go and study arabic rather then if i just go on "holiday" again (Calculating? well a little maybe)

Since joining the world of work, 3 months summer holidays are out and the best i could hope for is 3 week

So the search for the perfect "time out" a.ka the arabic course started. MD's contacts pointed me towards several course but i enquired about one in particular because the accommodation is a room by the sea side ( at this point i would like to stress that i really do want to learn arabic :)

I emailed the info desk and this was the email reply

"Walikum assalam
You and your friends are welcome any time
We don't mind designing a special seasonal course for you if you are 4 students in 10July to 29 with the price of US$ 470 includes EVERYTHING (classes –accommodation –trip in Cairo and Alexandria- materials –picking up from Airport- tajweed and Hifz)
The registration fees is US$30
If you interested please confirm
wassalam
Qortoba Institute for Arabic Studies"

Next step was to swindle a 3 week holiday from work? i say swindle but really i was going to be a lot of begging i mean egypt, pride, egypt, pride .. EGYPT.

But i didn't need to, my boss ( who is a v cool dude) was fine with the 3 weeks because july is a quiet time. OHHHH HAPPPYYYYY DAYYYYYYssss !!

Alhamdulilh

14 weeks to go!!
