When I went there, I smelled something which somehow made me feel very nostalgic. Yes, it was the smell of Egypt. It was the water tobacco which one of the residents of the Second Men's Dormitory I had gone with had brought back. My heart began to pound, and I almost started to cry. In Egypt, a tobacco of apple extract or something called water tobacco is placed here and there, and the smell of Egypt is the sweet smell of that water tobacco.
Odors have a strong impact.
Memories came back like a kaleidoscope, and I was dazed for a while. That is how deep an emotional attachment I have developed for Egypt. Finally, the Japan-Middle East Student Council is seeking new members for the 1998 summer program. Anyone who is interested in the Middle East is welcome to join.
