In 2003 I had my dream of visiting China fulfilled. As time passed by, I realized that China was going to be my new home away from home. I found the Chinese friendly and helpful.

After living in Canada where life is full of fierce competition, life in China was a refreshing change that brought me back to my roots. For the first time since I left Egypt, I felt that I am among family and friends.

I have found that the Chinese lifestyle bears striking similarities to its Egyptian counterpart. Both the Chinese and the Egyptians possess an abundant generosity of spirit. They are hospital almost to a fault. Both are caught in the solid web of traditions. The two nations pay great respect to education and teachers.
