Sinai Weekly Issue 59

Dear Readers,

The heat is really kicking in at this time of year. Recently as I was shopping in the supermarket, I heard several Sharmer’s mention how easy it is to get dehydrated in Sharm especially at this time of year with how hot it is. They went on to say how a friend of theirs was seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital and were kept overnight. Please read this very carefully as dehydration is very common here.

Dehydration is a serious problem here, so you must make sure you drink enough fluids throughout the day as it can sometimes be critical. Symptoms appear when the body has lost about 2% of its total fluid and include:

Stooooooop!

Sometimes don’t you just feel like you have had enough? Like you just want to disappear; like you want to scream and shout stop at the top of my voice for all to hear? Well, I know I sure have and quite often too!

But have you ever thought of what a powerful word it is and how much weight it holds?  That little four letter word that holds so much power and authority if said in the right tone of voice; you can grab everyone’s attention with a single sharp stop. Not only that but it is usually resembled by the vibrant colour of red that stands out so vividly.

Summertime - yihaaaaaa

It's summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime. 
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime. 
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
. Summertime summertime sum sum summertime summertime...

Well, shut them books and throw 'em away
, and say goodbye to dull school days. 
Look alive and change your ways
It's summertime...

Well, no more studying history
And no more reading geography
. And no more dull geometry
. Because it's summertime.

Life Is Like A Box.. And I Don't Mean A Box Of Choclates

We confine ourselves to these little boxes and refuse to look beyond; like little jack in the boxes on its strings, but why is it that we do that? Is it because we are a bit apprehensive and fear the unknown? Or is it that we are so intent on living in darkness? So why is it that we refuse to think above it or outside it? Is it reality or the truth of what we think of ourselves? People willingly corner themselves and just get deeper and deeper into something that they can’t get out. And more importantly, what do these boxes represent?

Is Sharm Cleaner?

God has honoured and blessed us with this great land that we should cherish and look after it rather than pollute and destroy this great gift; nothing can beat the pure beauty of nature; which in Sharm has no limits, having flourished so much in the last period with all the greenery and foliage that has sprung up all over the place. Just to breath in the fresh clean sea air; nothing can be healthier that that! However, cleanliness in Sharm presents a sort of dilemma, as it is not only about picking up the rubbish in the streets (even though the CLEAN SHARM group is doing an amazing job!) but about the rest of the rubble and waste that fill our roads on a day-to-day basis.
