LLL, those cards were gorgeous!
Well, tonight, we will be heading to Spain to spend Christmas there. We don't have a regular internet connection there so I wouldn't be able to visit Egypt4u forum for a while...
So...
Merry Christmas and hope you all enjoy your holiday!

I would love to see the N. Korea to walk into the 21st century. There has been a rumour of a potential revolution led by younger activists some years back but it never happened.

Here's my card for you all. I took the base photo of the church in the Spanish village where our house is. Two little Santas are our teddy bears who travel around the world with us. Added & painted the wintery effects in Photoshop.
Wish you all a Very Merry ...

I don't know if the old power is returning or not... I sometimes wonder whether they had left in the first place. Yes Mubarak is gone, but instead Tantawi?
I don't honestly know where Egypt is going after the election. But at this moment, I hear quite a few remarks like "Mubarak was bad but at ...

Yes, I know I can get the Arabic page translated into English.
But normally there is an English page and that's where I usually go and check the news everyday. Whatever the reason is, it seems not working now...

Silvermagpie, if you do finish up buying two Kindles, remember to use the same Amazon account that way you can share the books you buy between the two machines, you would just remove it from one Kindle (after reading it) and upload it to the other.

We are getting a basic Kindle for now. Reading some reviews on the web, sounds like Kindle Fire still got some features to be improved so we will wait till the next version to come out for that :)
