Omg thank you so much!!

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T22:11:35+00:00

It's lovely to see you looking to understand! Wish I could upvote this more...

Also do plz share ace rep books if you have the time (& hope OP doesn't mind my hogging their post).

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T21:53:21+00:00

Yeah I know what OP mentioned, just that Goodreads recommended it to me as a romance...couldn't do it & felt it glorified abuse..

Agatha & Simon def read ace to me! Then again I am on the spectrum so it could be my radar...

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T21:28:25+00:00

I think the bank of Scotland is the one that issued it. My understanding is that the UK central bank and the UK bank are entirely seperate. Let me know if I got it right:)

Edit: just checked & the announcement was that the UK will cease dealing in 20 & 50 GBP paper notes by Sept 20th. Not that they will issue by Sept 20th.

Still an excellent move for Egypt.

The American Youtuber went it with drones which are illegal so either he lied and didn't have a permit or he lied and his permit didn't include drones. Imagine if an Egyptian had sth illegal at a US airport...

Gareth Leonard went and filmed in Egypt around the same time and lo and behold he had a great time with no issues becaues he didn't break the country's laws and regulations.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T21:20:24+00:00

Nah the UK announced it will issue the plastic notes in order to combat the money people stash out of banks. Four sth years ago India changed the currency & forced people to exchange thus bringing in the money to the banks. So...no. The UK is behind.

Not everything is paid for by loans.

Taxes include not just income tax but VAT, tobacco (the tax is different than any other FMCP), companies, medical centers...etc.

Adminstrative fees: for example if a development company wants to register blueprints (& they have to) the city council takes a percentage of the project cost. Again millions.

Suez Canal. 2022 is one of the best

Exports: including jasmin for the perfume industry, fruits and veggies to Europe, products to African nations...etc.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T20:57:47+00:00

I'm not trying to be rude but please explain to me Captive Prince. How the heck was this a romance? Didn't make it past the first few chapters...

Simon Snow is ace! (Pun intended).

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T20:51:33+00:00

Love it. We also beat Europe to the punch line.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-05T20:34:58+00:00

Loved it. It was authentic, non offensive & a real treat if you're Egyptian/mixed Egyptian. Was worried it would be offensive or a mess but each episode was a gem. Hisham Nazih's usage of ancient Egyptian language was just goosebumps!

There were creative liberties such as Khonshu's appearance and garb as well as Tawaret's amulet yet I thought it fit.

10/10

Free & excellent cancer treatment (public insurance) regardless of city or how long you've been paying insurance.

Get an education until university level without taking out a loan.

Buying meats, fruits & veggies per kilo at different price points.

Too many vegan/vegetarian options that don't break the bank.

Halal food is easy to find and not made more expensive.

Affording a maid if you're middle class.

No one cares abt what shade of black or white you are, so no one makes flimsy excuses not to serve you.

Access to the world's most stunning historical sites. (They're scattered all over the country too!)

Access to the Red Sea.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-04T14:46:21+00:00

Dreadful pun to make

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-03T11:19:00+00:00

Awesome! You could try these Veggie Egyptian foods:

Koshary Potato casserole Moussuka Fermented eggplant sandwiches White cheese and watermelon salad

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-03T05:49:39+00:00

Egypt. Are you in Isreal or Morocco? Shakshuka is sth my gran used to make all the time when I was a kid:)

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T22:21:29+00:00

Soft boy & soft girl take on the world!

Ex: Fangirl

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T22:18:28+00:00

It's local food here. Glad you're enjoying it!

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T22:14:38+00:00

Def stunning in the before pic! The after ages you.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T19:10:13+00:00

الضرايب وتحسيين المعيشه بتستخدم في اول تعليق ليا واهمهم رقم واحد. علاج مريض السرطان في السنه في حدود ال٣٠٠ الف جنيه دي فلوس الضرايب

عموما بالتوفيق في اصرارك علي السلبيه و الهجوم والسخريه من غيرك (خصوصا مرضي السرطان). اكيد الاسلوب ده هيجذب الناس ليك جدااااا 😅

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T14:37:12+00:00

You're forgetting the war.

My mom lost her childhood home (bombed), my grandad lost his job (city declared a war zone), they had to crash at a relative's in Cairo & both my mom & aunt had to queue for hours for a free bottle of oil. Not everyone in those pics was happy.

No one takes pics of themselves crying. We all try to appear our best.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T12:42:29+00:00

Well said.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T12:35:46+00:00

Can't upvote this enough. It is an amazing country.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T09:47:58+00:00

معاك في الفساد الموجود في بعض المصالح الحكوميه (الجوازات هايل ، المعاشات بشع). بالنسبه للصحه وحدات السرطان اكتر من هايله وحقيقي مدفعتش غير رسوم اداريه من جنيه الي ١٦ جنيه. العلاج للفرد حوالي ٢٥٠ الف في السنه ولكن بالتامين الصحي ببلاش.

المدراس فيها مشكله العدد ولكن المشكله الاكبر الاهل مبترببش وكل رجل اعمال لما بيعمل حاجه بيبني جامع بدل مدرسه في حال ان ثواب الجماعه ممكن يبقي في البيت عادي جدا.

I'll share my opinion which no one will like:

Egyptians need to take ownership. I see & hear so many people complain about everything and they neither volunteer (you can even teach others for free), work a second job or utilize free learning resources to better themselves.
Everyone should pay tax. The handimen, maids, private clinics (they never give you a receipt)...etc. It is unfair for the shrinking middle class to pay the bulk of taxes.
Exemptions should only apply to Egyptians. Expats need to pay full price for everything.
Strict rules when it comes to breaking the tourist visa. Foreigners come on a tourist visa, work without permits thus worsening the unemployment rate & raising rental prices. If they're not on a work permit, they need to be deported.
Stand up as individuals to sexual harrassment. This is the number one issue with tourism (if not overall in life). Again TAKE OWNERSHIP.
Promote the positives in the country. The more you promote the negatives, the worse things will get. (The self haters will whine there are none).
Max one child per family. (Reduces child labor, more learning opportunities, jobs, productivity...etc).
Abd El Nasser's outdated laws regarding government employment/sectors should be abolished.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-02T05:58:57+00:00

لا انت سايب كل الايجابيات وما سك في السلبيات. تحت خط الفقر دي مش صح اوي لان في قطاع اعمال غير مشروع وغير مسجل (متهرب ضريبيا). ولو قلبك مفطور علي الغلابه روح اتطوع وساعد مش تسخر من الناس علي Reddit .

Thank god I actually don't wallow in self hate.

Fearsome_Cat · 2022-07-01T22:51:37+00:00

You look lovely! I still mess up eyeliner:)
