Friends and things to do!

Sorry to hear you are alone and bored.
I am lucky that there's a lot of Expats around in Sharm.
Have had already contact with a few of them.
Did you have a look around online, maybe you find someone in your region too?

I go out by myself a lot too (with the dogs) and just explore the area by foot and with my camera. It helps me to keep my mind busy too.
I post the pics to my blog for my friends to see, map them on a google earth map, so they get a better idea of where I am at.

Just a few ideas

Best wishes to you!
Nicole

Hi Racquel

Well, this whole thing here is actually what's called a forum.
People's blogs you will find when you go to their profiles and from there to the blogs.

This place we use to share Infos, talk to each other, ask questions, find new people and whatnot.

Ouch, the "no english" part sucks. And it's not like Arabic is exactly an easy language to learn
At least you won't be there forever. If I get it right you both will go to Australia once he gets the Visa approved?

Driving over here in Sharm is already scary, but people told me that it's nothing compared to Cairo.
Maybe you could find some online jobs? Not easy and def. not well paid, but maybe worth a try.
I found also a few Sites where you can learn Arabic for free. If you care, I'll post the links?

Are the women out and about in the town you live in?
If they are, just go out and greet them nicely in Arabic.
The men, I'm not so sure about, since the village is probably (most likely) very traditional and that could be taken the wrong way.
The more you show yourself out there (if the women are out generally), the less they will stare, I bet.
I know, it's hard. It took me a long while to ignore stares and rude comments and more often than not it still irks me to say something rude,....and I'm not blonde - I bet it's even tougher for you

Well, I hope you find some clues and ideas.
Let me know, if I can help or whatnot

Cheers and best of Luck,
Nicole
