We will be e-mailing students who live in the civilizations we are studying around the world! We will be posted information on this page and so will the corresponding schools! This should be a great experience!

We have just recently linked with a school in Italy. They are send great information to us.

The students enjoy shopping, swimming, and playing football. They eat all kinds of food including potato salad and fried carp. (fish)  They enjoy the cinema and like to see "Transformers" and "The Dark Knight". It does snow in the north of the country.  There are many things to see such as museums, monuments, and churches. There is a subway system for public transportation. Many of the students have commented on it being the "fashion capital of the world!" Expensive boutiques and shops are everywhere. Britney Spears and Enimem are popular also. We will keep you posted!

"Egypt is a very big country with lots of cities, I live in Alexandria which is the 2nd largest city in Egypt on the Mediterranean..

Egypt is a very old country with a very rich history dating back to over 7000 years ago.. The weather in Egypt is really great, it is not too hot in summer neither is it too cold in winter, it is just perfect..

We have lots of places to go to like Sharm El Sheikh and El Gouna on the Red Sea.. Luxor and Aswan in Upper Egypt where all the monuments and temples of the pharaohs are.." quote from Allison Tung's e-pal, Hams!

"Ramadan is a time to pray, not eat, drink or swear. After 6:00 p.m., we may do all these things."- Edie Hardin's e-pal, Farah
