hello
I have just come back from france. how pretty!!
I was in marseille the magnificent mediterranean city as I was representing Egypt in the preparatory assemply of the social mediterranen forum. I have met there many delegates from various countries and cities of the mediterranean like France, Greece, Italy, Algeria, Libya, Palastine,tunisia, ect,. look at the map and you will see how many people I met.
It was very ironic that the weather in the begining of this week when I was in Europe was just great while it was freezing here in the middle east. Imagine ice and rain in the gulf while sunny in south france!!
the conference was a success and we did great and I liked very much what the organizinger did as they brought interpreters to translate whatever it was said into Arabic, English, French, Castellano, Italiano that was great and every one felt just like home.
the city of marseille is also very nice and it looks close to Alexandria and I have also noticed the same with beirut . I think there is a certain spirit that makes most of the mediterranean cities look the same. I heared the same comment about Athens ,Ladhequia(syria), oran(algeria) so yes I guess that we have some thing in common.
