                                  and here, french is spoken 4x more than english, and i know 60 guys that don't even know how to say hello in french.. and we live in a french city here.. you'll always have guys like that who only speak 1 language even if it's bilingual. just like there's about 1.3 million frenchies here who don't speak 1 word of english. i swear there is an area here 1.5 miles from here where if i asked for the time in english, they would look stunned and not know what to say..

                                  juster,

                                  based on your avatar, you look nothing like a lebanese.. i speak egyptian, which is similar to lebanese.

                                  ya habibi..

                                      I assumed Lebanese because you said you speak Arabic and are catholic. I have a few Lebanese friends in Atlanta.

                                      What do you mean speak only in Italian?

                                                  If you live in America no other language should be allowed to be spoken and if caught jailed or deported

                                                      If you live in America no other language should be allowed to be spoken and if caught jailed or deported
                                                      How about Canada?

                                                                  cairo is a beautiful place. downtown is clean.. the city is good.. maybe not the outskirts.. but cairo has history and the ancient stuff is good, like the pyramids, the museums, the mummys are great.. that's why people like blitter spend thousands to go see it, cause it's like nothing you've ever seen.

                                                                  everybody wants to go to egypt for the scenery.. the pyramids, the sphinx.. the camels..it really is something to see. but not to live there of course.. the culture there is unreal.. it really is something to see.. just ask blitter.
