Last Wednesday:
Now I don't have to worry about the fire alarms not working since the ceiling will put out any fires anyway.

About Me
About The Blog...
Ramblings from Cairo, Egypt and my travels abroad.
FAQ:
Q: Is Cairo cool?
A: Read the blog.
Q: Is it safe? Aren't you scared being in the Middle East?
A: It's safer than San Francisco, so no.
Q: Kayvan, do you speak Arabic yet?
A: Don't push me, I'm working on it!
Q: Are you taking classes?
A: Yes, and it's pretty boring. Around 14 hours of Arabic a week and then a course on Graeco-Roman Egyptian history and finally one on the Politics of the Middle East (which so far is my only decent class).
Q: Whats the exchange rate?
A: 5.7 Egyptian Pounds to the Dollar. Stuff is relatively cheap but things do add up. For example it's 5 pounds for a 15 minute taxi ride to downtown, 5 pounds for a meal of Egyptian food, 20 for a medium priced restaurant and 60 total for an expensive place.
Q: Are the Pyramids amazing?
A: Yes, but Len tells me I need to describe them in a more original way. Basically, they're pretty big and magnificent and, well.... it's hard to describe actually. I'll work on it.
Q: Do you walk like an Egyptian?
A: That's a stupid question.
A: Read the blog.
