Life in Egypt can be hectic at times and my studies don't make things any easier. I have recently moved into an apartment with one other girl in the program. It is a nice place to come home to and a haven from the outside world. Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea, Egypt is exciting. I am constantly surprised or shocked by the things I come across. An average day in Egypt and an average day in the US don't come close to being similar in my opinion. When crossing the street has become an adrenaline rush, how could it be similar to the US? The fact that life is so exciting and different is what I like about Egypt. However there are times when I need a break from these surprises (at least once a day) and that is when I turn to my tea and biscuits :)
This has become my snack time favorite and I guess you could say comfort food. Its not too sweet but just enough sugar and caffeine to wake me up when all I want to is sleep for days. I know that sounds extreme but for some reason I get mentally exhausted quickly here. There is a slight danger with delectable duo though. It seems I can go through a whole pack of biscuits with one cup of tea! "OH NO!" you might be thinking. But really, its well worth the weight gain. It is the best way to relax my mind. It is my escape to a world where I don't need to think. All I need to do is enjoy my tea and biscuits.
Oh Mae! I just love and adore you! Reading this and all of your other blogs makes me feel as if I am there with you! I am so happy to hear that you have settled in and are doing well. I know it has only been a month but I am very excited to see you in January! However, it really warms my heart to hear that you are embarking on so many grand adventures and doing great things. I love you habibti! I'm always thinking of you! Love, Alex :)
