It is really amazing to see new cultures and meet new friends …share ideas.. create a love dialogue among youth from different countries…
As it is really important for every one to introduce and express her/him self loudly & peacefully ..
And speck up, jump up and reaches the sky in a lovely way :)
In this trip we were a small team (5 youth from 4 countries –Eastern & Western-) met together in order to discuss a new project..
We were 5 youth with different characters from different countries have different culture backgrounds….but we all got one common phase which is we all welling to cross barriers with love to build a love language among our local communities and build a brotherhood bond among our local networks ..
It is great to understand the other and accept the difference as well.. and realize the culture diversity…as if you are different of mine ..and may be your society seems to give wider space of freedom "from your point of view" and you think that my society got a numerous taboos , while I consider these as basic ethics and traditions which I can't waive ..
this point of view doesn't give you the right to insult me for such believes…but we all we got all the right to express our selves and try to fix out what we believe that what in our society considered as a taboo or ethic … but none got the right to dictate the other what he/she has to do….
We all share the humanity..and we all live in one world …share the same sun..same moon..same nature….but we all have something special which give all the chance to learn more day after day…
In this trip I learned much regard love: how to love & beloved …love is a global language ..its not confined for man/woman love only…there are huge sorts and kinds for love…..
"yes off course I faced funny problems which enraged me as missing my purse –as usual in every trip I've to lose or forget anything :) - and confusing between the flight time "both of the : arrival & departure", and there was another funny mistake as the ticket was typed with the symbol of "CHI" and they thought in the Turkish airport it indicates for child which makes me yelled: so how I came from Egypt with this mistake dear?!!! did you think that they would allow me to come without paying the change?!!
Ohh..plus they found a bomb or a warning for a bomb in the main street in Taksim while we had our dinner in one of its restaurants there.."& sure no one wanna know about the looks for foreigners and some of them look like arab!!!!!"
But the most wonderful situation "besides meeting the other 4 youth and enjoying Turkey & its lovely nights" was in my way to the airport from my city in the bus as it was one of the most beautiful times I ever enjoyed in a bus , I met an Egyptian/ Canadian in his way back to Canada & we had a little chat …and he sent me back a mail I'd like to share a part of it with someone ..may be it could be useful to read it as I did ..:
And here is the selected part:
