sharaft ya grey. thanks for dropping in
1) I wish God would drop in sometime in person.
2) Fool and egyptian white cheese (ol' style) with a bit of 3aish balady (traditional egyptian bread) beats the 'continental breakfast' hands down every time.
3) Most interesting conversation I had today was with a bona fide Nubian guy who told me beautiful tales of Egypt's history.
4) Today I bought 5 lemons from a guy who was feigning parkinson's disease symptoms.
5) I think egyptian taxi drivers are the best, where else can you get a mix of humour, politics, religion and fatalism while being driven from a to b?

thanks for responding to the tag :)
i totally agree with the Fool and white cheese bit..my mouth is watering already :)
Yeah taxi drivers rock alright. They know everything... Sorta gives you the feeling that they were kicked out of the CIA or something huh.
i guess driving around cairo over and over gives you some kind of insight...
just remembered, there's actually a book out in arabic about conversations had with egyptian taxi drivers while being driven around. It's actually quite a funny read if you can get your hands on it.
I sure can write a book of my own on that issue.
Taxi drivers know about politics, football, history, global warming. I bet they even know where Elvis is.
What a waste of human drama.
