Yes we had our first White Christmas (okay this proves how long I've been away from dA anyway) since the eighties and I haven't been home. The story of my life haha. I spent this Christmas and a full two weeks around it in Egypt. Anyone who's planning on having a Christmas in Egypt, don't - it's weird but to me Christmas in 25C would be weird anywhere
So, what about Egypt, didn't I just go to Japan? Yes I did and I haven't even told you haw brilliantly amazing Japan was, so consider it done now cause it was awesome. Since it was my first journey on my own sure it was a bit lonely sometimes- I got to speak a whole lot to myself and luckily for me Im a very lively and interesting partner for conversation but once I got used to being on my own in a people consuming city (holy crap it's BIG and remember this is coming from a smallville girl
And lord was I beautiful in Japan, both for guys and girls. I love countries like that though at first I felt terribly fat and slouchy compared to the fashionable, skinny, high-heeled Japanese girls as where I was marching around in sloppy jeans and AllStars most of the time haha. And in the last week when I thought things couldn't go better and was already preparing myself mentally that I had to go back to boring Holland and my messy family and my uncle dying from cancer, I met a great guy, who just happens to be Egyptian. Now the first thing you hear when you tell this to your mother is 'you better be careful! He's Egyptian, muslim'
Sigh. (I'm out of all my sane comments having to do with this subject by now)
Well the two of us had a very great last few days and he asked me to come to Egypt. Having spent a lot of money in Japan, I still said 'okay' thinking that when I'd be back home and he'd be back home he'd probably forget about me. Well, this wasn't the case, we kept in contact. My uncle died along the way and I could do with another adventure, another getaway. Who in their right mind would want to spend two Christmas days, trying to divide it over three parties, with a broken-up family. Well not me so there I went much to concern of my family and friends thinking God knows what could happen to me there. I even had some sort of codeword for my friends to come and find me in Egypt if something would happen cause thanks to loving and caring friends even I began to doubt cause if someone would have said this to me I would ask the person if he was in a right state of mind as well.
And then I saw him at the airport and cursed my family and friends and myself for having had a single doubt about him and it felt just like back in Japan. I have never met so many nice people all together, cause his friends and family alike are all so sweet. Yet sometimes to a Western, freeminded person like myself, they sometimes have strange ideas as could be expected. And good lord was I beautiful again. I suggest to every girl with a few doubt about herself to go to a country were literally everyone thinks your beautiful. And I thought I was used to staring after China and Japan, but there it's kind of innocent as to where the Egyptians are far more direct and want to get in your pants. (the highpoint of Japanese eroticism apparently is blowing in your ear- I had three guys pulling that stunt *shiver* )
So anyway I survived and the two weeks were great, apart from a few expected discussions (since I'm not religious the whole matter is a bit of a problem) and now I'm back in HOlland where it's frigging cold and it took some readjusting. My lovely Egyptian guy is now trying to come to Holland next month and in the meantime I have actually started working on my paper. It's time to get back to reality after all- hoping for a much better 2010 than 2009 has been.
My family thinks of me as an amazing worldtraveller right now lol. I wonder where I should go this year?
Love,
Rianne
