Do not climb a tree to look for a fish Walking down the Naama Bay promenade, I stopped to get my favourite ice-cream from Vanilla during my lunch break. I had an hour to burn. The weather was beautiful. As I was quietly enjoying my favourite Sinai morning sunshine, and ice-cream, I came across one of my mum’s old friends. I always loved this woman – she was always so soothing to talk to and be around. When mum and I would fight, she was always the one to bring back the peace. I haven’t seen this woman in 12... |

Memoirs of a Sharmer The man started to tell me about how he had started up his business a long time ago and how he had originally had big hopes. Then five months ago, he had planned on having a big hotel and had already booked it up for the next year, hired staff and organized parties.

Memoirs of a Sharmer Look Before You Leap |

Memoirs of a Sharmer Sadly, I started strolling along the shores when my mobile rang; it was an old friend I had not spoken to in ages. I was in two minds whether to answer or not, feeling guilty that I had not called in so such a long time. We had met a couple of years ago here in Sharm and she has always been there for me.

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.

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Feminism is an outdated adjective.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
