Although it is not an official title, it is believed that Egypt was the first civilization to use the alphabet to write. My name is Asmaa, I am 15 years old, I like to read, and shop and I made this blog to share my culture with the world! I am Egyptian, despite the fact that I was born in Kuwait. After 5 years of living in Kuwait, my parents decided they wanted to immigrate to Canada. As a result, my mom flew down to Egypt and we waited 2 years for our immigration to be approved and then we were buying tickets, taking photos, packing suitcases and suddenly we were in a strange country with the rest of our family 9000 miles away. My parents never let it get to them and they never let the country get to us. A lot of people come to Canada seeking a better life and a lot of them lose their culture and traditions along the way. To this day we still go to the mosque and pray every Eid and my mom always cooks Egyptian food and we always go down to Egypt every other year to visit. I am very grateful to have such a beautiful place to call home and to have such a beautiful and fascinating culture.
