My ex-boyfriend and I got engaged before he left Germany and went back to Washington State after being stationed in Germany. He took most of my belongings with him and had them shipped by the Army together with his stuff. Two months later, after the things had just arrived there, he dumped me over the phone. I had given him no reason for this.

My things are in his uncle's garage, who is threatening to get rid of him. I have had no contact with my ex-boyfriend over the last two years.

His mother mentioned something about "his new family", so I am assuming that he has at least one child with another girl. They are not willing to pay for sending my things back. They are in several cardboard boxes that could well be over 100kg heavy -- they won't even give me the weight and dimensions for me to get a quote.

I need to get my things back to get closure, apart from the fact that there is a lot of sentimental value, as he had asked me to pack everything that I would want around me when I get there, so I wouldn't be home-sick...! If I wanted to replace everything -- not that this would be possible -- it might cost me something like 1000 Euro.

What can I do? I don't see why I should pay for the shipping if it was his idea to get engaged, to ship my things, and to break up with me. But most importantly, I really want my stuff back.

PS It took his ex-wife two years to get him to send her things from Germany back to the states! I did not even know about her and her things for the longest time! She only got some of them back because she refused to sign the divorce papers until she had a guarantee she'd get them back.

I would like to have a little more information than I can find on Wikipedia and such websites. Maybe there's a good printed biography somewhere?

I'm wondering about Madinat Coraya that's right next to the sea in the middle of the desert. There weren't any in January. Will it change as it gets warmer?

minimum price you've come across (solution obviously with how much is in the bottle), so I get an idea

Ich gehe für ein halbes Jahr zum Arbeiten nach Ägypten. Handelt man dort auch im Supermarkt und in der Apotheke? Würde mir etwas seltsam vokommen.

I will be going to Egypt to work there for six months. Can anyone give me information on postage from there to Iraq and Europe for letters and parcels (including allowance for weight and dimension), please? I looked at the Egypt Post site, but I'm not getting anywhere.

Also, can I buy stamps online and get them sent to me (either before I leave Europe or once I'm in Egypt), as I will be working at a hotel far away from any post office.
