        When I first knew that you were in Cairo,I was so happy that I was visiting Cairo,I wished that I would see you and tell you my story,but that didn’t happen. When I saw your post in Alexandria,I took the train back to Alexandria hoping that I could meet you,didn’t happen as well.

        His bureaucracy sounds a hell of alot like the ones here in NY where I live. "Oh, you want to open a nice bakery in a small town? So sweet. Now go wait several years & spend thousands & maybe we will give you a permit".

        Brandon, the term "entrepreneurship" is overused here in Egypt, literally anyone who opens up a new business thinks they're an entrepreneur, no matter how dull and uninnovative they are.

        But that is the definition. Dont need to be so patronising towards people who are in business
