A Picture & a Story from a Couple of Egyptian Gals on the Seawall in Alexandria

I may be half way around the world, but the scene is the same.

 

Couldn’t help but reflect as I explored the seawall near the Citadel of Qaitbay in Alexandria, Egypt, that despite being dressed differently, how similar the young women are there to our young women in North America, at least in how they choose to spend a leisurely day, being sure to document it for the social feeds.

 

“Smile!”

    So true – things are so similar around the world, despite our small differences!

      Amazing how few of us are aware of that though, especially when we see different clothing.

    Great observation. It seems that similarities are greater than differences. To bad that these types of observations are limited to travelers. The media images seen by the general public can be so skewed.

    Of course we’re more similar than different! So messed up that so many have come to believe otherwise.
