Site Update (July 07) - I have just rolled out a new blog, on MikeDorsey.info. It's my way of sharing some of my interests in a new and more flexible, interactive format. See it here: Mike Dorsey's Blog

I am living in Egypt for one year and studying Middle East Affairs at the American University in Cairo. Fully funded by the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars Program, I am responsible for speaking to local Rotary clubs and I will continue studying the Arabic language.
Living in Cairo, near the Nile, 15 minutes from Pyramids, lots of studying...
Sunsets over Sinai, scuba diving certification with Joan, weekend trips with Egyptian host family.
I have a reasonable apartment in the center of downtown Cairo - it is a great location and fairly comfortable. Click here to see more.

With the support of Rotary International, various scholars, clubs, and donors have supported African Hope School for Sudanese refugees in Cairo, Egypt. Click here for details.

 

My Egypt Journals

November 7, 2004 - Happy Ramadan! Now that the weather is cooling off and some of Cairo’s 16M inhabitants are out of town visiting their families for Ramadan, life here in the big city is getting progressively more enjoyable. Ramadan brings a lot of other interesting aspects, as the whole Muslim population (~80% of population) fasts for the entire month. This means that they do not eat, drink fluids, or smoke (nothing can pass their lips) from around 4:30 am until ~5:30 pm.

In the spirit of things, I decided not to eat anything during the daytime either...
