Recently, when I casually navigated to discord.com to have a lazy chat, I met a guy from Egypt, and we ended up talking for 3 hours.

Usually, when I come across people from this country in informal settings, they speak with me about snow XD. But this time was different. Well, we talked about snow too, but he also told me a crazy (as he admitted himself) story from his life. It turned out he escaped from his hometown at the age of seventeen. Later, when he arrived to some remote city, he pursuaded (with a certain difficulty) a manager of a hotel to give him a job, and ended up working there for two years...
