Egypt but nicer

I've always liked going to Italy, I fell in love with it the first time I went and again this time.


You know the song love is all around, that's how I feel when I'm in Italy. Everything there is nice, clean and happy.



Rome with its beautiful weather and nice breeze can take your breath away. The architecture is one of the best in the world; I will never find amazing buildings as in Rome.

Lonely Table Just For One

Lonely table just for one
In a bright and crowded room
While the music has begun
I drink to memories in the gloom
Though the music's still the same
It has a bittersweet refrain

So play the song the way it used to be
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
And maybe if she's passing by the window
She will hear a love song
And a melody
And even if the words are not so tender
She will always remember
The way it used to be

Friends stop by and say hello
And I laugh and hide the pain
It's quite easy 'til they go
Then the song begins again

refreshing XP

Today was my first real AIESEC gathering with the new members and the new EB Team. Even though you would feel as an outsider after all these years but still you know you're too attached and no one can take this from you.
You start dancing the roll calls and they come up to you asking you questions about your XP and who you are now and you feel back again as a VP or even LCP.

I know that Karim and his team are doing a great job right now. Yes they have recruited around 80 members but they're all very potential. You talk to them and you see the excitement in their eyes wanting to know more. The good thing about it is that the EB team realizes that they have a lot of members and they know how to retain them. People say 80 is a lot and CU will be left with 5 but I'm sure at least 30 will stay after XΔ, leadership positions and people dropping out which is definitely a good nr.

Can't be prouder of my LC, CU is growing and it's growing good

unexpected!!!

For the first time in the history of Egypt it rains soo hard.

It's 2.20 am on a Wednesday some day in October and it has been raining for about 30 good mins. Oh no not just raining but actually is pouring hard with thunder and lighting. At some point I was scared. Usually it doesn't rain till December and not that hard so does this mean that we should expect European winter, the kind we never see in Egypt with snow and stuff :-)

It's going to be the worst day in traffic tomorrow. Egypt will face a disaster and I can assure you that no one will come on time to any where.

Sorry for all the trainees who have been in Egypt and couldn't see this winter ;-)
