Beautiful photo!
Is that Guilin or Yunnan?
I honestly can’t remember, could be either.
Ah, a common occurrence when one travels extensively.
An interesting blog. You certainly brought a cool perspective to China. Your experiences and reactions in terms of various aspects of Asian culture is fascinating to read.
Keep up the Good work.
Hi Christina,
I found your blog and am really enjoying reading about your experience in Cairo. I am a teacher in Miami, Florida and have been offered a teaching position in Cairo! I would love to talk to you and get more insight of what the city is like and how you have adapted. I have yet to formally accept the offer due to my uncertainties but your blog has been great to read!
Hey Juliana,
I’m glad you like my blog. I’ll email you and we can chat more about specific things.

Dear Christina,
My name is Joyce and I work for ExpatFinder.com.
ExpatFinder.com is a free one stop website for people preparing to move or working and living overseas. We provide a myriad of services for expatriates and we have over 2,000 articles to help and support the people moving around the world and we are now creating an interview section to help the expats with real life experiences!
We quite enjoy your blog about living in Egypt, it is very interesting and informative. Would it be possible to interview you to further share some of your tips and feature some of your first hand experience as an Expat and your interview will be published on our Expat Interview section as a guide for our expat readers. The questions are mainly about the day to day lifestyle of an expat. If it would be possible, could you also send some photographs that we can use?
Of course, if you accept, we can add a link to your blog or some of your website.
The questions are enclosed, feel free to respond freely. You can return the doc with your answers if you accept this invitation.
Thanks in advance and do let me know if you prefer other means to conduct this interview and we would be happy to accommodate your terms.
Best regards,
Joyce
