I often read a blog called the Egyptian Sandmonkey. I came across this post this morning. It says to me: Things are the same everywhere. I thought people here might enjoy it:


My cleaning lady, Nadia, was bitching to me the other day about the Africans that have invaded where she lives and are now "taking Egyptian jobs", and by africans she means the 4 million or so refugees from Somalia and Sudan that came to Egypt escaping whatever man-made Hell they were living in back home and descended upon Cairo. They are apparently cheaper, more disciplined and take much more abuse than their Egyptian counterparts, Nadia informed me. "How are we suppsoed to compete with that?", she snorted in anger.

My first reflex was going to be a laughing "what egyptian jobs?" response, but I held it in. Nadia has 3 kids and a girl who is getting married, and a dead Husband. She needed the money. So I showed sympathy to her plight against those " damn illegal aliens who are ruining everything" and decided to make a joke: "Well, you think it's bad now? Just wait till the Chinese start immigrating in Egypt in the thousands and start a China-town. Then you will have yourself a competition!"

T o which her response was: "The Chinese? They are already here ya beih. They pass by my house at least 3 times a week".

What???

"Oh yeah. They always come in twos. Little chinese girls, each carrying a huge bag on their backs knock on my house door at least once a week and ask "andek arooosah? (Do you have a young girl, bride to be?)", and sometimes we let them in, and they start bringing out underwear and nightgowns from that bag of theirs. And if the size is missing, they make a cell phone call and a third chinese girl shows up 10 minutes later with the right size. I bought half of my daughter's marriage cloths this way."

Holy Crap. The Chinese are already here??? Oh man, where are they going to have a China town? What if they want to start a Buddhist temple? I mean, we can't even tolerate the Baha'is with their "redicilous" talk about non-violence, love and brotherhood, what the hell are we going to do about those who speak of meditation, enlightenment and Nirvana? And are we gonna start having chinese triads? Maybe even Chinese gang wars? Do they know Kung Fu? Are we going to have a Jet Li movie set in Cairo? And most importantly, are we going to finally have decent chinese food in Egypt? I miss good chinese food.

It's things like this that interest me, because I always wonder what Egypt will be like in 10-15 years, because things are going to be totally different. For example, Hurghada has been occupied by russians for the past 3 years. Everywhere you go there are russian girls. Hell, getting a russian girl there isn't a problem, but rather getting rid of her is. Well, now there is a huge male egyptian population married to russian women, which means in 15 years there will be a generation of Egyptians who will totally look russian. Hell, it already started. Nelly Karim anyone?

Maybe we should get the Chinese to start their China Town in Hurghada, and then we will have Russian mafia/chinese triads gang wars. Yes!

Things are going to be so interesting. I can't wait!

Funny blog there, Ya-ta. I like his "Buy Danish" banner and his "Anti-Jihady Club" (roster of his buddies' blogs).

Yeah, I liked that "Buy Danish" thing, too. Somewhere on his site is a post about a Danish ad placed in an Iranian newspaper.

Memo to Grand Imam Tantawi
Memo

To: Grand Imam Sheikh Mohamed Tantawi, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar

From: God

Dear worshiper Mohamed Tantawi,

I'm writing concerning what you stated in the latest issue of Sout El Azhar (The Voice of Al Azhar) newspaper. To be very frank with you my dear worshiper, I was very troubled by what you said because you didn't just state absurd words, you literally put them in my mouth. Therefore, I've decided to set aside a few minutes from my busy daily schedule and pen down this letter to you.

First, before telling you how you bothered me, let me just reiterate that I am really fond of you my worshiper Tantawi. Even though you're a poodle of the regime that appointed you, I'm still pleased by your manners, soft spokeness, and moderation in several religious issues. And you sure know I love moderates. They make me look less insane. However, what you stated in this newspaper might make me change my mind about you.

My angel Gabriel brought me the latest issue of Sout el Azhar. I held it up and my jaws literally dropped when my eyes fell on the main red headline (see below). My jaws dropped Tantawi. You managed to drop the jaws of Allah. Congratulations!

With over a billion Chinese, the odds are that there are at least a few in every country around the world.
