Saying Goodbye...

Cairo is a bit different from Japan in the turnover rate of friends. I've met some lovely folks here the last few months, only to have them move away soon after really getting to know them. It's kind of sad. Out of my friend base at the end of June, the majority who are still left are primarily teachers I work with that were hired with me (hence, they are still stuck here another year). Out of my remaining friends, several left in June, some I "lost" in July, and other left in August. Still more are leaving before the end of the year.

Now, since for the most part I am utterly awful at keeping in touch with anyone after I moved away (be it people from high school, university, Boston, Atlanta, Kobe), I do need to say, good thing there's Facebook!
