I am a girl who moved from Egypt to New York City when I got married to the man I love.
This is my experience as a woman, a wife and a mother in one of the most challenging, busy and tough cities. In a world where family help and support doesn’t exist but the toughest of all is looking for friendships like the ones I have in Egypt!
A simple comparison between my life in New York City and Cairo!
Thoughts about living here and the challenges one might face.
So if you have just moved here, you might share some of my feelings. And if you are in Cairo(or your hometown) and reading this, you might know what to expect before moving here.
This is an AraEnglish blog as I share my thoughts and opinions in both Arabic and English.
This is soooo good ….hayel I loved it 🙂
Thanks A LOT Yasso
I have been to Ny for 1 month
I have seen in Ny it really deserves to live there even if it’s a small apartment at the beginning and. Most of my friends there after couple of years they moved to a big house with garden ..it really deserve to live there and we can’t compare it with egypt life in Ny is totally difference…
They are both crowded cities. Both fast however NYC is faster.
I believe NYC is for college students, single people and young couples. Once your family start growing, you might want to move and find a bigger space and more options for your family.
The only difference is that in Egypt, family support makes a difference.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read and reply
Very tough, you stand all alone by yourself facing all silly details getting support from your beloved ones thru the wires but I have to admitt sometimes I enjoy the challenge
And I have learnt A LOT from the challenges I faced. Now I realize it was worth the experience!
