  3. So how are people managing to live? Especially if the price of basic staples like rice have escalated at this alarming rate. I was in Egypt in 2006 and it was expensive 4 Egyptians then.

    Are they all eating other types of food now?

  5. Many years ago I spent a magical time with my grandfather in a village in the north.

    One afternoon we were sharing time and tea, a woman came with her children and explained while weaping, how she needed something for her daughters wedding. My granfather traditionally would give ducks, chickens, rice, flour, etc.

    Even though my family can afford food in Egypt, I still see my mother's strained face and exasperated emotions when she describes the prices and how people are supposed to survive. How they now must go for weeks between eating meat. How Educators and other professionals make only $60-$80 U.S/Canadian month......

    So they work mutliple jobs, children work to support the family, the list goes on.
