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. 

When I think of all the things I would like to say stop about, it’s not that I am spoilt or ungrateful but things could be so much better, I just get exasperated with it all…Look around you, the world is such a beautiful place why ruin it?

But what is it that we should stop? Here are just a few examples:

Stop complaining
Stop exploitation
Stop at the injustice of it all
Stop the hate and aggression,
Stop the backstabbing
Stop the excuse and B.S
Stop the deceit and lies
Stop the pain
Stop the fighting
Stop being spiteful
Stop the cheating
Stop staring
Stop the swearing

“I wish the harassment along the streets would stop,” – said Claire, a long time Sharmer.“I hate walking alone or even going to the supermarket because of the amount of people who stare and comment on my looks and attire.” – She continued.

“I want to tell the taxi drivers that keep honking their horn at you for no apparent reason to just STOP it,” – stated Jenny, a local resident. “It can be pretty annoying, you know…” – She added.

“Stop whining and complaining about everything, the amount of people that grumble about Egypt and the Egyptians is absurd…get over it!” – Declared Ali, a local business owner.

“I think racism is a big problem here, if only we could all be a bit more open-minded and stop the pettiness.” –  Announced Frank, a local diver.
People should stop the pretence and start living reality. If we wish we could change so many different things, we should give it a go as it is in our hands and it is up to us to make the world a better place to live in.

So, what would you like to say stop to?

Easy Print In Sharm

The season is starting, and that means marketing, marketing, and marketing. The road race begins for businesses to get out there, and capture their required target markets. The common methodology for this, prior to the opening of Easy Print, was, let’s print flyers thousands of flyers, using offset printing techniques, so we can distribute them all over town town. Surely if one prints 5,000 flyers and distributes them, people will show up to their venue. Isn’t that how it always worked? At Easy Print, and in Europe and the States, that is considered an ultimate waste of money and paper.

Today in Sharm, there are new tools you can use, to ensure your print requirements are made Easy.

To Sharm Parents

I was fortunate enough to become a parent, and what I can say so far is, parenting is a tough job – tougher than any other job, let alone in a place like Sharm, with all its diversities. With this mind, I did a little bit of research. I spent the last 2 weeks having chats with different parents about what their take on parenting in Sharm is like. It was very interesting what I learnt.

My Daughter My Love

As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
(Solomon Ibn Gabirol)

Daughters warm your heart.

From the day they are born until the day you hand them over into someone else’s care.
A daughter is truly a blessing, a gift from God.

What do you do when a nervous young man asks your permission to marry your angel?
When you know her heart and wings have already flown into his nest. When you know this nervous young man is worthy of her love? You rejoice.

The happiness you feel is twofold, the first is recognition that she has finally grown up and chosen a partner to accompany her on the most important journey of her life.

Dear Lady

I don't know from where I can start I am an Egyptian lady living in sharm for 2  and half years. I am 23, and recently i am not feeling well here. I choose to write to you because I like what you always write, and also because you are in the same city, so maybe u will understand me. I feel that Sharm is full of russians and every time i look around me i find them with open clothes, and egyptian men around them holding their hands and maybe more! When I apply to any good position that suits my qualifications, the answer is, sorry we need a russian girl...i’m not saying they are all bad, some of them are my best friends, but some have to respect our traditions.
