by popular demand...well 3 people, i have decided to contribute to the blog. superb effort so far from moush.
as you know i am not politically minded, but its been fascinating listening to the stories about the revolution and the way of life in these parts. From Moush's cousins getting shot (they are ok now) on Tahrir square to state tv showing a documentary about fish whilst the revolution was happening.
i have taken a few snaps - but not as many as i wanted to - but hopefully some will be website worthy soon.
here is one anyways:
cairo in the evening...on the nile.
cairo looks best at night...and night is when egyptians live. its a 24hr culture here, which is something to get used to vs. tubes closing by midnight in london. even with a curfew in place from 2am, the city is alive - and i have been assured that cairo and alex had more people walking around, going to cafes and bars pre-revolution, i.e. pre-curfew. so when the curfew is lifted, it will be even crazier than what we are seeing.
i am also suprised by the friendliness of the people here - not just moush's friends and family (who have been so nice), but friends of friends, and complete strangers. I got told about a bar in Agami which has the slogan 'there are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met' - which kind of sums it up.
peace and love to all in the uk...i'll do another post when i have taken some more paps.
