Today I got a phone call from my mother in Egypt. My parents love going abroad, and they've been spending a Christmas break in Egypt.
I really envy them because compared to here, the weather in Egypt is milder than here.
According to my mother, they had been many museums to see mummies or pyramids. They also looked at many temples. According to my mom, Abu Simbel Temple was the most beautiful and interesting temple.
She also told me that Cairo was very modern city. They met a lot of Japanese tourist there. The temperature in Cairo was around twenty degree Celsius.
They are staying in Aswan right now. It is also the historical city in Egypt, and there are bunch of temples. They are staying at one of the gorgeous hotels. Today they enjoyed Nile river cruse.
When I listened to my mom's story, I was jealous of her very much! I've never been to Egypt.
She bought me a book of Egypt in English, so I'm looking forward to reading it right now. Even if I've been to Egypt, I want to enjoy sightseeing in the book that my mom bought me.

I really envy them because compared to here, the weather in Egypt is milder than here. It is too repetitive if you say "than here" since you have stated the same comparison in "compared to here". You have the option of removing either "than here", or "compared to here". Both are good, just not at the same time :)
When I listened to my mom's story, I was really jealous! of her very much!I am sure there is a grammar reason for this, but I do not know what it is. However, I know that this sentence would flow better if you just said " I was really jealous". I think it is understood that you are jealous "of her". However, I think it is fine if you left "of her" in :)
She bought me a book of--> on Egypt in English, so I'm looking forward to reading it right now.
I think Egypt is one of the mysterious countries. Therefore, I wanna go there!

I'm glad that you could enjoy the video that I posted.
And I hope your parents went to Egypt AFTER the football thingy. =p
Because Egyptians were a bit wilder lately, and this is coming from someone interacting with them everyday. *sigh*
I've been to Egypt a couple of times, it was okay, but I didn't really get to see it to it's full potential, since I only staid for a short time and was very young. I remember good stuff though.
But I don't think I'll ever go there again in the next 5/10 years, mind you. I'm Algerian, if I dare step in there, I'll be confronted with 80 million folks who won't stand the smell of me six feet under. xD
Egypt is too dangerous for me now, I'm glad I took the liberty of going there long before the match. =3 And you should visit 'em sometime too. *thumbs up*
My mom tols me that there are a lot of Japanese and when she speak Japanese, they can understand what she says. When I listened to her story, Egypt is very friendly country to Japan. However, for other country, Egypt isn't friendly.....
I think world is really complicated. And it is really sad.
