What a great visit to Coptic Cairo...Hey there Theo! <BR/>What a great visit to Coptic Cairo, in addition to such a detailed follow-up post. It's exciting to see how your time in Egypt has influenced your thoughts and worldviews. There is something that's both exhilirating and terrifying about traveling (mostly on one's own) in a foreign country. It looks like your adventures in Egypt thus far have definitely led to many fruitful self-discoveries, and I'm thrilled you have this opportunity. <BR/><BR/>Your visit to Cairo is a most interesting comparison to my recent time in Thailand. Since 97% of the country is Buddhist, religion is completely homogenous over there. There's no question about pursuing Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Catholicism; people are simply weaved into the Buddhist lifestyle and practice. Of course one can question the freedom of religious choice in such a system, but it was actually quite a refreshing and welcomed change to live in a society organized this way. Unlike the U.S. or Coptic Cairo, where religion is hetergenous and divided, the Thai people are all on the same page with regards to religious devotion. We could chat about this in a more meaningful time and place than a blog comment space, so I'll end it with that and look forward to catching up with you back at Midd at some point down the road. <BR/><BR/>I'm in the middle of selling my '74 Volkswagen and then I'm off to Paris for study abroad. Check your inbox soon for a link to my blog!<BR/><BR/>take it easy,<BR/>emily<BR/><BR/>p.s.--someone passed your blog URL onto me, which is how i found it. we should look into posting the contacts for all middkids abroad with blogs....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
