Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Nora: Even if you feel overwhelmed by the new culture and all the new people you meet every day in Egypt, don't isolate yourself from people and stay alone at home. Make an effort to hang out with your new friends as much as you can, because that is the best way to learn a country's language and culture and have fun at the same time!
