CallsignArrow asked: "You and your friends speak very good English, with almost an American accent. Where did you learn to speak English?"

Ro'ya answered: "i used to go to a british school since kindergarden infact as a child my english was getting way much better than my arabic that my parents decided to make me attend two schools....my english one and an arabic one."

JonMPa asked: "What opinions or advice does she have for Americans thinking of traveling to nations such as Egypt?"

Ro'ya answered: "ur coming to a country that has over 5,000 years of culture and history so make the most outta the experience... and there is A LOT more to egypt than the pyramids and sphynx and even cairo.... do ur research before coming and Egypt has something to offer for absolutly everyone....no matter what ur intrests are."

escargo14 asked: what would happen if you fell in love with a non-Muslim, non-Egyptian man?

Ro'ya answered: "if hes a non-Muslim then nothing could happen unless he converts if he wants to. if not, then we go our seperate ways. if he is a non-Egyptian than thats great...halleluiah...finally a man worth falling in love with =)) in other words the nationality makes absolutly zero difference.

CHUCKMITZY asked: "Roya you seem nice. I don't like the eight year Bush term and what it done to the world. I also don't like the way many foreign countries including Egypt for decades have blackmailed the United States for financial support. We give billions of US dollars each year because we know if we don't we will have trouble with these countries. I wish we would stop the aid money because we get no respect from the populations anyway. Don't you agree?"
