Egyptians in the eye of Algerians
i heard many things from algerians i met about egyptians & egypt..
the most funny one is that egyptians have a big table on breakfast, eat a lot of things. and this comment was by many, not one only. they have this picture from the egyptian movies.
when i tell them that i eat bigger breakfast in hotel here than in egypt, they were surprised.
breakfast for algerians, just coffee and maybe croissant.
algerian women like to watch egyptian series (el mosalsalat). it is very important for them.
so u can imagine what is the idea about egypt.
this is the reason why it is more easy for algerians to understand egyptians rather than the contrary.
they see egypt as a big country, with a big civilization.
very crowded, live and noisy.
egyptians still preserve their identity. u see cos of the colonization by the french, they got a lot of things from the french. it affected everything from the style of life till even the language, all algerians speak french, and they use it daily also, not only arabic.

Do they like us, coz from the football matches, I got the feeking that they hate us so much.
actually it is not hatred between algerians and egyptians.
during one of my discussions, i asked that question cos i heard stories too. what i was told is that there are people who r really crazy, they go in the streets, breaking everything, even for local matches between algerian clubs. so it is a general behavior, not only against egyptians.

not all algerians speak french, only some people in the big cities. French occupation affected the algerian way of life because the policy implemented by the french back in that day was to erase the algerian identity and make people accept the occupation contrary to the british and the italians.
Egyptian supporters are part of the soccer violent too. look back to the history of the games between the two teams nd yu ll see.
Hate between algerians and egyptians is basicaly due to some political issues nd not all algerians are aware of that. so yu ll find that the average people like egypt and consider it as a friend country :)
thank you
