I'm so happy you like it!


For Dani:
At the moment dollar is quite down. For example for many years there was 1 LE difference in dollar and euro. At the moment 1 EUR is about 7,5 LE. At this time the dollar were 6,5 LE. Just during last this spring dollar has gone down, so now 1 $ equals about 5,5 LE. (This is good to know for all of you traveling to Egypt in next summer.)

I'm from Europe, so I put my prize in Euros. In my part of the world 20 EUR in normal prize for belly dancing CD. Anyway I have to sell hundreds of CDs just to cover the expenses, without making any profit.

Second expense is posting. It's not cheap from Finland. (Is it in anywhere?) There are there categories: inside Finland, inside Europe and the rest of the world. So America is in the last and most expensive one. And again the value of the dollar doesn't help
Of course if anyone comes to Cairo, they can get it without posting. And that's much nicer.



I'm careful with my money. All my life I have been very good buyer. My friends never understand how I get all the nice stuff with so good prize. But on the other hand I'm happy to spend something I know I will like and value. So for me is most important to know that people loved the CD. They will be happy to listen and dance to it and they will make wonderful shows for their audiences for years. That really makes me happy.

Happy dancing to everyone!
