Hello everyone,

After only a short time of ready everyone's mail and seeing the warmth
generated, I can breath easily when I ask everyone for this....

I would like to move back to egypt......

I have heard many mixed stories and incidents and lots of negative words
from my family to discourage the thought of moving back....They're only
being like that because they dont want me to leave... I have so many questions and want to know so much .... So....here is the story;

My parents migrated to Australia 13 years ago, I was only 10 yrs old at
the time so I can still remember some things but the memories are
distorted.
I finished my schooling here and went on to university and completed a
bachelor of Business Administration- majoring in Human Resources
Managment, During this time I somewhat adapted to the lifestyle here to
some extent... but still have strong
Arabic morales and values....
Hopefully you can shine some light on these questions...

...whats the work like over there and what are the wages like for the
business management side of things - do they even employ foreigners..?
what are the chances?

....Lifestyle, ...lets face it ,,,being a girl is not easy in our
culture everything is differant- here girls can pretty work as anything
they like and are very liberal with their attitudes and dress codes-
whats it really like?

...Peoples attitudes.... I have heard terrifying stories of how much
people will give me a hard time not only because I'm a girl but also
that I will be seen as a foreigner- My Arabic is very good I was told
and I can read & write but my attitude alone will give me away- Is it
really that rough?

I would really appreciate all the feedback I can get from everyone Guys
& Girls my age or anyone I just want to see the differant perceptions at
differant levels... please don't be shy I need all the help I can get-
this is going to be one of my biggest lifetime decisions...

...Very confused....Talk to you soon
Thanks heaps..
Mezz.
