Because of course, you take the good with the bad, and vice versa.
#10: No one ever having change and no one taking credit cards.
#9: Having to cover up in 5 million degree weather.
#8: Not ever understanding a damn thing anyone says. Even when you try your hardest. 10 months later and all I can really do is get around town in a taxi. Arabic: Hardest. Language. Ever.
#7: Corruption everywhere.
#6: Having to go to 5 different stores for simple necessities.
#5: Not being able to drink the water. Also, the toll on my clothes, hair, and skin after using what amounts to pool water every day.
#4: Stressing about getting paid every month and trying to get money back home with the crazy restrictions the banks started while the country quickly imploded around us.
#3: Working for a school that didn't encourage creativity or free thinking and encouraged gossip and maliciousness.
#2: The stink of Cairo and seeing animals being mistreated in all the different forms.
#1: Sexual Harassment. And not the innocent "Ooh la la" type, but the "Hey, whore" type. You wouldn't believe it unless you lived it.
