My dad and sister were in Egypt all of last week, as a present for Maya's bat mitzvah. They came back yesterday, and handed out presents to all.

They got me a beautiful scarf, and a notepad of papyrus paper. [Smile]

My sister also collected all the complimentary shampoo bottles from their hotel, and presented them all to me in a bag.

How cool is that? [Kiss]

hee, that's very sweet of her [Smile]

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Raia, that is very cool. If I wasn't about to die, stupid migrane pills make me so tired, I would be jealous.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Aww, my sister doesn't do cool stuff like that.
You're very luck, Raia. [Smile]

I'm jealous. I don't have a sister.. unless you count my two neighbor sisters? They're actually ex-neighnors now.

I have lots of scarves, so that's okay. But I love the papyrus paper! I wonder if they have that stationery store there [Smile]

I love your sister too. [Smile]

Tell her Mazel Tov for me.

Is she going to be in the play this summer?

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

That's really cool.

My sister better bring me back souvenirs from Iraq. (My sister being AKA, of course.)

Posted by Grisha (Member # 6871) on :

i was totally thinking your sister could hang out with AKA there, guess i'm a bit slow. [Blushing]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Yeah, I think she is doing the play this summer. I can't wait for that, I'm so excited. [Smile]

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

Me too!

I don't like Egypt. It's overly commercialised, like Eilat, and I refuse to go there ideologically.

Of course, my ideology is that hot and dy places will not be overly-attended by me during daytime, particularly deserts. That's why I'd like the Dead Sea area to be always in dusk's mist, in Springtime's weather.

I never fancied the West ever since Salah' A-ddin (aka: "SALADIN") died. I preferred the classical times' (that's around 70-90 BCE) East (the eastern bank of the Jordan - as I've only been on the western one - and Babylon).

And do you really trust those EGYPTIAN hotel shampoos?

You were there, were you? [Razz]

And I probably won't USE them. It's the thought that counts. [Smile]

I read enough books and seen enough films to image it in my mind. It's all utopian, tohugh, so it's a little inaccurate. Don't ruin The Dream!!! (That was a pun, Raia. I'm not quite facing God in the sky, but still.)

The thought always counts, but the shampoo quality doesn't! And what' this "play" I didn't hear of? Ahem, where do I buy tickets?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

It is a musical production of "Aladdin," being performed by about 25 kids, ranging in age from 8 - 15. You can purchase tickets in Indiana. [Razz]

(edit: In case that confused you more, I do vocal direction, and blacwolve does lighting design.)

Damn.

Anyway, the film starts in 5 minutes, Shani. Turn on Channel 2 (/22).

I need to start acting myself. I have a wasted talent, I don't have StageFright(R) and I've been good at speeches, lectures, public meetings and TV. I want something serious, not school plays. Maybe a drama, or a nonscripted show like "Curb Your Enthusiasm". I don't want to go through the amateur <insert ugly words that mean the substance one excretes> and that bureaucratic <insert a word less vulgar, but equally meaning droppings>!

Anyway, good luck in Aladdin to deine sister. (Searches Arabic schoolbook's definition for "Din".)

I don't have a TV, dear. Otherwise I'd love to.

What film?

Posted by Bean Counter (Member # 6001) on :

Ah the things that I will miss while I am gone! So what kind of shampoo is complemetary in Egypt? Do you take off the top and it tells you how silky your hair is? I have to say that after the 1000 camel incedent you probably don't need any more ego stroking!

It sounds like your sister loves you an you have a close relationship, that is very precious since the interfamilial conflict is so tragic!

Think if you had a Quara or a Peter to contend with!

Maya and I get along extremely well. [Smile]

We have our... moments, but what siblings don't?! For the most part, we're very close.
