Egypt...

I am planning to go to Israel soon.
-Well nothing is confirmed yet.-
For vacation.
And actually we were planning to go to Sinai too.
But I certainly remember saying to Tamar, that I thought it was NOT a good idea to go during/while/right after the disengagement of Gazastrip.

What happened some days ago was a confirmation of those thoughts.

Corrections for news channels: Sinai is a popular resort for Israeli's but Sharm El Sjeik is NOT. (and the victims list proves this theory)
Israeli's come as far as Dahab -from Taba that is-
Europeans come from Sharm El Sjeik as far as Dahab.
And only those who know the right spots will go further.

We certainly know some of these spots ;) yet Sinai is out of the question now.
We won't go.
Me, I would, but some Israeli friends of mine will not take that risk.

Some people ask why Sinai is a target.
Obviously this area is the area of 'sinners': naked women and all kinds of recreation is not what muslims see as 'devote'.
Sinai is often regarded as the sinners place, and all Egyptians taking profit of this area/living there/having a hostel or alike are sinners too.

I asked my mom if she would go today if she had the chance.
Her answer: sure. If I would think of not going, I should not go anywhere: London, Madrid, Istanbul. No place is safe anymore.
My grandmother, on the other hand, is considering canceling her trip to Barcelona.
