Is Egypt really that bad?

I live in NYC an I had an accident 6 months ago and till today I can't find a job because I'm not ablle to dot job any more . My cousin was working for one of the biggest compnay in the US he loat his jib 4 years ago and he still can't find a job today. Almost became homeless if it wasn't for us. Not trying to make you feel bad just trying to tell ya that its not that bad.

Best regards

really.. i never heard of it. i just know that i dont know any egyptians like that peanut butter and its expensive in spinneys. i always notice pastachio nuts and hazelnuts. maybe theyre just not as popular as in america. i didnt realize theyre common. :-)

??? Foul sudani (as peanuts are called in Egypt) ARE popular! A cheaper alternative on cakes, basbousa etc. Also they sell it at the "lib" shop (shop that sells seeds and nuts); you will find it as a kind of bar inlaid in a sugary kind of thick gel, etc.

Adam at least yo had a job once ,, I never did

Archilles listen, unemployment exists in whole universe, the thing is you need to compromise a little bit to achieve your target. meaning that u need to look to ur strengths and play with them at the same time u need to gain new tools to dig ur way out to the sky.
Some times I sound like a mystery but I am gonna give u examples of what I am talking about....... Well, from the way u look I can tell that u have the appearance that any decent retailers needs to play for their marketing meanwhile ur English is good enough which is demanded by all employers I knew and this sound like ur strengths the new tools is whether u focus on ur career by acquiring a Super A certificate needed or acquire a new add on like combining Computer with Accountancy or building a magnificent trading webpage for used items for example.......its a long way but u have to starts and focus. This is what I learned and remember (PPl always respect the person who always trying and if u did not stress on trying for sure u will fail) Egypt is our home our life, The thing is the time we start blaming others is the time where we start hate ourselves unconsciously.
I wish I could do more help and Walahi I wish u all the best.

i been suffering the same in egypt..but when i left to europe i suffer more ..if u know what i mean..things are more hard in europe..in egypt when u dont have work you have your family and friends to carry you and make things right for you till you can stand in you feet but in europe or US ..who will help you if you didnt have job or someone give you money for living you will be a homeless or any EU government will send you back home..i been in Russia and Ukraine before and it was good cuz the world was good back then and now im in europe and i see how Egyptian are suffering here..point is not only Egypt is bad economy and politics no no my brother all the world

i agree its the whole world these days. even countries almost go bankrupt.

No matter how hard it is, we have to know that its meant to be and no matter what we won't be able to change what the mistakes we have done, so it's better to turn it into determination for future and we can use it to save our beloved children saying that I have been there but........ we have all the options in our hand, It is very very damn easy to pick the wrong direction and the hard choice has been always the right path. I am not quiet sure about what I am gonna say (Lack of experience) but I believe that when we think about Europe from far distance we may think of freedom but the fact is that all the forbidden staff I think of this a sin cover. I hope all PPL in here could ask themselves what could make me happy?...... u will see the sad answer is coming nothing. Only the smart PPL knew this answer......... about me my happiness is completely at the top just when I can afford other person's needs and bring real smiles from the bottom of their happiness also when I know that I am in the right direction in name of religion. Any thought about u?

i can assure you that in Europe there's also families and friends to help out. Plus, excluding the south countries, most of the norhern countries still have a social assistance program for locals AND inmigrants, and therefore if you went there legally and worked, you should not become homeless...

oh, and here in egypt, foreigners also need visas and work permits, dont think foreigners can be here forever without a purpose. And for sure here there is no social aid, and for sure not for foreigners- as is the case in Europe.

In the case of my family, the fact that my father emigrated to UK 30 years ago, has financed my huge and mostly poor family for all these decades, alhamdulillah. And he will stay there until he reitres and comes back to Egypt with a family business on the run.

I dont think so many egyptians came back from their emigrations, sometimes it goes bad, but the fact is that a lot never come back and that it is a huge source of income for this country.

Money money money, is it all about money? OK , would you like me to send you pics of thousands of homeless in the streets and Subways of the richest countries in the world . With all respect to you and what you wrote, Please don't make it sound like its perfect outside of Egypt. I don't want to talk about racism or many of the other issues we face because you properly know.

u have to know that most of egyptian in europe is illegal.they paid to much to go there about 60000 l.e..then they go there and cant find work also cant come back cuz they shame to back after losing money and they have to stay however they dying to back..at past yes egyptian went to euro and come back with big amount of money but not anymore..tell me what foreign paid to come to egypt absolutely nothing..egyptian work in europe in cleaning and thing like that ...what foreign work in egypt is administrator thats the different

PPl are PPl everywhere they are the same, Comparison will never achieve its purpose. Just get used to the country u leave in. keep in mind the one Egyptian pound expended in Egypt equal one sterling pound expended in UK.
Remember to thank Allah for the blessing of breathing air.

ppl are different from country to country from city to city from street to street from home to home from brother to his brother..you know what i hate the most ? when ppl speak without knowledge about what they speaking

The most bothering PPL to me those who are expecting other to help them ............. remember that the only PPL we choose are those we called them friends and spouse. and if we failed at it then it will be our fault.

I mean that nothing there is so great and nothing here is so great. This is my only point.

I know there are egyptians working all around the world legally, and that they dont only clean and build. They also study, go to universities, etc. A lot of whole families emigrated and second generations are born in the chosen country. This is one of the motives why the egyptian administration allows the double nationality with almost any other country in the world, because of the currency that the country needs.

Of course, the illegal emigrant will probably have an illegal life, and for sure they will not be wellcomed, but it doesn't matter if the illegal is chinese or spanish, only that he's illegal. I don't want to even think about the rights of the illegal inmigrants here in Egypt!

I personaly emigrated and came here, so for sure i am not advertising anything, nothing anywhere is perfect, we have to take what suits us best with the means and needs we have.

Only when u can afford it:rolleyes:

Hi_sam3kkad, could you please let other people participate ?

well all i meant is egyptian dont have to leave their country and go to europe cuz they thinking that europe is better living than egypt if they dont have work or someone to help out there they better stay in egypt.. and since you said nothing is great in egypt and nothing is great there so its the same point

Every country have it's negative and positive things, you have to balance your needs from the place you want to live in and then decide if it's good enough for you or not.

Actually I think you should RUN AWAY there is nothing left in Egypt but IGNORANCE,RACISM and BU**SH*T ,, the country is literally DYING <><>

SAD to say but i must agree...

Hey,
You shouldn't forget that Egypt is a developing country and nowadays "after the revolution i mean " it is in a transmission  period.
from my point of view, Egypt is that kind of country who is not that easy to live in bearing in mind that being in a vacation is completely different that living in it.

But there is something to love in this country which i can't actually put my hands on

Can you tell us what is your job now
