Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone! I´m Javier Venegas and in this blog (the first) I would like to talk about my preferred destination to visit, undoubtedly Egypt is my predilect trip and one of my big dreams in the life.

First of all, the history and culture of the country and his people is so interesting to me, and very mysterious if we consider that the Egyptians have a very different vision of the things in contrast with the western world, I want to understand of a better way how the Egyptians live and their cosmovition. Also, I would like to know the historical monuments and places that characterize Egypt such as the Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, the temple of Ramesses II, the King´s Valley, or just walk for the streets of Cairo, Alexandria or Luxor.

There are too many places I would like to visit, so this post isn´t enough to talk about them all, but something I will definitely do if I ever visit Egypt will be to navigate across the Nile River, it´s a great crossing and one of the best ways to know different places of Egypt, because the river crosses the whole country.

However, I wouldn´t like to live, study or work in this country, there are too many problems and social differences, and as I said before, a lifestyle very different of ours, that I don't see it as an attractive place to live comfortably.

Already 32,5% of the population lives in poverty, according to studies by Egypt´s official statistics agency. (CAPMAS, 2019)
