Introduction
I am a (more or less) semi-retired guy from Florida (by way of California by way of New Jersey) who has decided to teach and work in Italy. My wife will join me in time - poor thing, she still has to/wants to finish out the career thingie back home - and I'm loving it. If you want good company, stimulating conversation, or just a sounding board...give me a shout out.
I joined expat.com on 09 August 2014.

Worked with Egyptian Ministry of Commerce to develop the supply chain capability of its top five international corporations (by revenue).
The history, antiquities, warmth of the Egyptian people. Learned a helluva lot about Islam.
Pretty dirty, but so are most cities of this size (Cairo is third-largest city in the world).
Lived there off and on while employed at Sun Microsystems and nVidia Corp.
Food, people, culture
Caste system
Lived there off and on from 1990-2003 while working for Sun Microsystems and nVidia Corpl
Very international and progressive. Close to Hong Kong.
Local politics can get a little heavy-handed
