Cute card :)
Are you heeding the call?
No, but according to intelligence I have received my mother is trying to ferment a coup in Egypt in order to force me to leave.
why did you move to Cairo again? that isnt on the blog is it?
The main reason I moved back is cos I like it here - most of the time.
In addition there are very interesting opportunities in the human rights field, which is my area. Not that these opportunities have been very forthcoming mind you, but we live in hope.
I suspect that implicit in your question was why the hell would anyone leave the UK, and the answer is that apart from proximity to parents and friends, the UK doesn't offer me personally anything super dooper at the moment.
Plus Egypt has beaches.
actually, i'm moving back from France myself and just wanted to hear that someone else thought it wasn't a crazy thing to do :D
