My friend Mo's dad was telling me about the calendar when I visited the farm last month. They use the Coptic calendar for planting and harvesting and all that. I will have to start talking about soccer. I have been watching the soccer matches with the Copts at my local pub. Good times. It's easier to understand than American football, after all.

In fact, calendars in Alexandria mark the days when it is expected to rain 12 months in advance (regular gales). That is why Egyptians do not talk about the weather unless they are actually discussing it. here is Egyptian small talk for you: where are you from? Are you married, and if not why? Do you have children? and if not why? then soccor, politics and religion. Of course, you get the "what do you think of Bush or Iraq" small talk. Mustafa The weather in Egypt is rather regular.
