I’ve recently posted my best-earning article yet Why We Hated Egypt and Will Likely Never Go Back. I’m not surprised that it has made me the most money since it is the most negative article that I have written.

I knew that it was negative and because I hate focusing on the negative, I held back on writing it. In fact, I grappled with my morals for about 3 months before I finally decided that I just needed to do it.

While overall it is a negative article, it does serve a purpose in warning others about what they may encounter in Egypt. Of course, I braced myself for the backlash, thinking that I would get more than my fair share of people angry at me for painting a whole country in the way that I did.

But out of 60-some comments so far, only a handful have been undesirable feedback.
