The Associated Press: Exchange Student Starved While in Egypt

Pretty weird. I can't understand why nobody, including the boy, did anything about it. I have to say my 15 year old would protest loud and long to all and sundry if he wasn't being fed. Something odd about the whole story don't you think? I don't know much about the Copts so don't know what the dietry restrictions are or why this couple should impose them on their guest.

Hi I thought the same as you when I read it and also dont know anything about Copts.

I guess because he was in a strange country he just ' got on with it ' but I know my daughter would have certainly have been trying to call home ( in tears ).

He was painfully thin though.

Hi Red

Where did you see this? For future reference it is always worth noting where it was published and the date.

I also see italy is up three places, i think much of that is down to the region of Calabria where there is still very good value for money to be had, if you know the right people and deal with local agents.
