Sobhan Allah Dija, although you said we are not similar, yet, according to your description we are much so. Residents of informal squatters here in Egypt either in urban or rural areas, are up to date in terms of mobile phones, sattelite dishes, computers..etc. Of course not all of them, but just to give you an idea, number of mobile phone users came to around 70+ million recenly and Egypt's population is 80 million, internet penetration is also very high. Also Egyptians are very consumptive, even those who live in poor areas, yet, they just copy what they watch on TV, if you know what I mean. If you follow Umra statistics, you would find Egyptians form a very good portion of the travellers. But Government's reports do not show any economic growth this year. Certainly, it did under the previous regime, we doubted those reports though.
And the she maid I m speaking about, says she is working to secure a house for herself and mother who is abandoned by the father.
