Egypt
There are a few reasons why I did not have much interest in this place. The hot weather, the sand, the mummy movies that scared me to death, and the continuing news on TV how the middle east nations are having conflict with one another. All were elements that made me rather kept this country a distant away from me. Or until now.
As I was preparing my summer trip to somewhere "different," Egypt caught my attention. It was rather spontaneous and so I was not sure how much I might find out and how much I might like this trip. I did not know much about the Ancient Egyptians, just that they were scary on the horror movies. I did not know much about its history, other than a little that I have learned in my introductory world history classes. Furthermore, the religion Islamic and the language Arabic are two elements that I have not fully understood. I told my dad that I wanted to adventure. I don't want to travel to some comfort zone that I already know of. He said, sure then, go to Egypt. And so that is how I picked Egypt.
