		<description><![CDATA[It’s a nostalgic moment, one that is producing some dissonance for me as well.  I’m about to leave Egypt, and I find myself not wating to go.  I don’t want to stay here forever, but there’s so much left to see.  I’ve also been treated incredibly well by the Fulbright office here in Cairo, and, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello readers,
It has been a while since I was able to log on.  The Nile Cruise, while lovely, had very expensive and slow internet access at about $27 US an hour.  I&#8217;m back in Cairo (feels like home!) at the free wireless Internet cafe.
I&#8217;m getting a little anxious about leaving Egypt.  I&#8217;ve been loving the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hesitate to write this post, but I think it’s a necessary one in light of my experience here.  I’ll attempt to describe the way Egyptians see the world.  The title of the program I’m participating is, after all, “Egypt Through Egyptian Eyes.”  
Before proceeding, I remind the reader that while my Egyptian group leaders [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m still in Upper Egypt (which is actually the southern part of Egypt, considered upper Egypt because of the way the Nile flows—which, unlike other rivers, moves from south to north).  We’re taking our third round-trip flight to get to Abu Simbel where we’ll see another ancient Egyptian temple.  We just came from the Aswan [...]]]></description>
