عندما يرادونى الحنين لشوارع نيويورك وانا اتسكع فى  شوارع بحرى بالاسكندريه واجلس على بعد خطوات من قهوه فاروق

 اذن انا مهاجر حتى النخاع

 البسبور الامريكى لم يصبح وثيقه سفر كالامس ولكنه اصبح هويه!

.. سالت نفس الف سؤال

وقولت لنفسى اكيد فى حاجه غلط

لكن الاسكندريه اصبحت نفسها غريبه واصبح هناك الف اسكندريه داخل الاسكندريه

الشوارع الجميله ذات المبنى المعمارى الراقى كسرت والفيلات القديمه اصبحت مهجوره والخطوه القادمه اصبحت معروفه .. برج سكنى ضحم على اطلال التاريخ

اصبحت الاسكندريه نفسها ذكرى غير سعيده لمن عاصرو ايامها الحلوه

    well
    all of us had non-egyptian roots
    so i guess when or ancestors left thier roots sure they felt the same

    hope u r feeling good there ... thats what is important now .... and for egyptian heritage and historic architecture , i read that primeministir gave his orders in his last visit to luxor , to demolish 2 historic buildings

    have fun
    now u r american :)

    بفتكر انو أنا و أنت وكتار متلنا عنا نفس المشكل بس أنت كنت شجاع أكتر وكتبت عنها ..
    بالحقيقة كل ما سافرت عبيروت بشوف انو مش بس معالم البلد تغيرت ، الناس تغيرت كمان بس ما عندي الجرأة أحكي لأني حسيت بالذنب وخفت يتفسر رأيي غلط ويفتكرو انو أنا اللي تغيرت لأني عايشة بأميركا ومش عاجبتني بيروت لأني عم بعمل مقارنة بين البلدين ..

    ما بعرف اذا كان عنا نوع من الأنانية وبدنا بلدنا ما تتغير بأي شكل من الأشكال حتى بس ما نخسر أحلامنا وتضيع وذكرياتنا !!

    i red about the luxor buildings, and I felt the same.
    why do we destroy something nice for something ugly. people who don't have history are faking some. but in hour case, we don't give a shit.

    انا عارف قصدك ايه بالضبط لما بتخافى ان الناس تقولك انك خلاص بقيتى امريكيه .. بس الحاله بتاعه البوست دى انك زعلانه على بلدك اللى بيهدوها يوم ورا يوم علشان يبنوا حاجه قبيحه ملهاش اى معنى
    ومع الهدد بيتضيع ذكريات جميله كانت فى الشوارع دى

    I wonder how much of it is actual change and how much of it is nostalgia playing its usual tricks on the mind. Marquez describes this so beautifully in Love in the Time of Cholera: "the heart's memory eliminates the bad and
    magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past"

    My parents left masr in 73 and didn't come back till 87, mesh motakhayela el balad kan akeed shaklaha 7aga tanya khales belnesbalhom. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for them to see that...Ana walhamdulellah I have 2 homes, Masr and Canada, and whenever I'm in one place I'm always longing for the other. It sounds like that's what NY has become to you :)

    i think it a combination of both; actual change and the nostalgia playing with my head. or I became a little whiner:)

    to your Marquez reference, I think it is on of the best think he wrote.

    you know, life is bunch of memories, and anyone with out past, he/ she has no future.

    i did not know about the Canada citizenship.

    you know, New York is too close to Canada, so come visit:)

    lol, yareit mawdoo3 el visit dah, bas sa3b for 2 reasons: awwalan ana kont 2a3da fe vancouver which is on the west coast fa mesh na7yet NY khales, and thaneyan ana ba2aly 16 years 2a3da fe masr mesh canada :) Bas inshallah my plan is to move to NYC in a year or two inshallah. Many people have told me law 3ayza nadafet canada + 3afanet wel chaos beta3 masr, ro7y 3eeshy fe NYC :D

    Regarding Marquez, I actually didn't really enjoy love in the time of cholera (ok I admit I didn't finish it aslan), his best for me is 100 years of solitude, even though it took me like 2 years to finish the damn thing, lol!
