The Accommodation Quest
We are expecting 20 Salaam trainees, plus another 6 or 7 trainees to come into Egypt. The maximum we ever had in the past was something like 12 or 13 so this is definitely is a record breaker!!!
Its always great to have so many trainees coming in but then the worst part about it all is the race for finding affordable accommodation whose owners would not mind having guys and girls stay within the same walls.
During this most recent race, I confirmed my discovery of the newest AIESEC Egypt talent...Adham...Adham got a floor from one of the colonial villas of Garden City...with 5 huge rooms, accommodating the minumum of 10 people...With the rent of the floor we also get the roof which does have a pretty amazing view of the green, quiet and historic area...The place is simply amazing...I would just rent it out for my own pleasure and live there alone...unfortunately I dont earn enough yet...
Well...lucky Salaamers...
Will try and get pictures of this amazing place up here at some point...

Hi Tamer!
Got a question (if it's not you, then forgive me bothering you about it) : Are you the Tamer from Egypt who visited us AIESECers in Geneva, Switzerland about one-and-a-half years ago? Sarah Renfer was our LCP back then, I was VP Projects and Learning 04/05...you brought us Chichas as presents I think ;-) (They're in our office and happily being used). Well, if that's you, I'd be more than happy to hear from you and about how things are going with AIESEC Cairo!!! If it's not you, sorry
for bothering :-) Greetings, Carissa from Geneva

after seeing the appartment i have the same feeling ya Tamer!!! it's simply fantastic!
Hi Carissa - well we actually got to meet you at ITC 2004 poland - (Checked your photo Album and can spot myself in the opening game)
Hey Tamer! Haha, so funny, you were not the Tamer I meant, but also a Tamer I met!!! Hahahahahahahahaha :-D Well, great that we already know each other!!! How could I forget....sorry, my bad! Can I put you on my friends-link on my weblog? :-) Maybe that will make up for my bad memory? ;)
Okay, now I admit it: I AM AN IDIOT! aaaahhhhh, you're name isn't Tamer! Am I blind? Sorry, I was so excited that I didn't even read your name, just read ITC and that was it, oops :-s Hope you forgive me! But at any rate, that doesn't change the fact that we already know each other!!! And who knows, maybe Tamer is the Tamer who came to Geneva ;-D
Carissa...By the way my name is Tamer...it was Askoura who was replying to you...both of us were at ITC and looking at the pictures, the person you were talking about was not Tamer but he was Tarek...more specifically Tarek Talaat, he is going to be on my MC team next term...
and YES, ITC was an awesome conference!!!
Hi Tamer! Yeah, I realized that I was confusing everybody! Sorry about that, I already apologized to Askoura (is Amr his family name?) about that :-s Haha, so I already met BOTH of you? And yeah, Tarek, how could I forget! I must seem so dumb to you, please forgive me! :-) Will you all be on the MC together? you, askoura and tarek? Way to go ITC! Will you attend IC? I might go to...if the MC lets me;-) I'm currently on the NST in Switzerland for Alumni Relations
would be so nice if we can have mini reunion at ITC.
My family name is askoura, first is amr.
Ah, okay, thanks for letting me know...I was almost sure, but I wanted to be a 100% sure ;-) yeah, would be soooo coool so see you guys again at IC! (you meant IC, right?)!!!
Greetings, Carissa )i(

All three of us guys will be on the MC team as well as Maggie and 2 other people you havent met before...
You need to apply for IC soon and try get Rob to send an email of approval...
Hi Tamer! Whoa, so I know like almost the whole Egyptian MC already! haha ;-) yeah, I know, I have to send my application, I'll do it tomorrow (the MC gave us time till Wed), but I have to check with the costs too, because it's gonna bee really really expensive, hope it'll work out :-s
Greetings!
