My apology.  I often get people with screwed up faces saying " EEEEuuuu, why
would you ever want to go to that place!!!!!"   So sorry if I mis-understood you intent
with your question.

The short answer is that I go for the adventure.   Also the Am. U of Cairo paid me
fairly well.  Cairo is a tough place to live, dirty, stinky & ugly, noisy etc, but the
experience of the desert is great and the trip home was fantastic.  I have lived (for 1
year or more) in Ghana, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Morocco, Vietnam, Egypt,
USA and Canada.  For the obligatory van content I had Westies with me in Saudi,
Morocco & Egypt.  If you'd like more than that, my resume is located at

I'm posting this apology to the list, again, sorry for my smart-mouthed response to
your sincere question.   Malcolm
