I Want To Share My Story...
Dear Editor,
I wanted to share my story with every Sharmer. I saw an ad on the back of your last issue for a new digital print shop called Easy Print. So I decided to go and try it. I wanted to share my story because, the service and quality level that I got was by far the best I have ever seen in Egypt, maybe even better than my home town in Prague. I printed some of my photos on canvas, and had them mounted on wood. Everything was perfect, and I am very happy with the result. So if anyone out there is looking for digital print, I would highly recommend Easy Print.
Happy printer.
Hello happy printer,
It is always great when people in the community share their thoughts – positive or negative with other people in the community – that is the true essence of community building so thank you for that. I will definitely pass on your comments on the members of Easy Print, as I am sure they will be happy to hear what you said. Everybody always needs affirmation.
On that note, I am very happy that you touched on 2 very important words; quality and service. I feel those are 2 essential keys to success, and unfortunately in a place like Sharm, quality and service are rarely consistently good. I am not really sure why, still doing my research about it. As soon as I find out more, or if anyone has any ideas and can help me out in my research, I would be more than happy to hear it.
Peace and love,
The Editor.

Do Women Really Believe the Earth is Flat? If they Venture Forth Will they Fall off the Edge?
I do not walk in front of my man to test the ground for landmines.
(E.Moon)
The ‘F’ word has no place in my vocabulary.
Instead I have a belief in ‘EOG’
Feminism is an outdated adjective.
EOG sounds more like a substance to save the planet doesn’t it? However it is my own personal belief in ‘Equality of Genders.’ There now I have said it.
Feminism has been around since the 18th century. In 1792 May Wollstonecraft published her Vindication on the Rights of Woman, an important work advocating the rights of women.
Mary’s attitude stems from being born the daughter of a brutish, tyrannical father who bullied his wife into an exhausted state of servitude.
My answer to the male gender that retains the belief they can chain a woman’s mind and body is simply, “get a grip.” No one can own or chain a mind, you cannot steal another human being’s thoughts and you cannot strangle a soul.

An Expert's Guide To Bargain Shopping In Cairo
By Soraya Morayef
Anyone who claims that they can’t find bargain shopping in Cairo is delusional. First of all, we Egyptians love a good bargain; we may not have created the concept of sales and discounts, but we very well could have. Just take a look at any discount store around the world (Primark, Dollar Store, Forever 21), and you may find several of us arguing loudly over the Sale of the Day rack.
