Hmmmm. Well hello.

It's about 5 in the afternoon here, and it was a great day, a little hazy, and some sprinkles are starting to come down now...nothing much though, it'll drizzle for about 20 or so minutes, and be gone. Perhaps just enough to make the windshields require a quick wipe or two.

Met up with Aziz and our new friend Tanya (she's the Canadian I mentioned in a few blogs back) for some fruit juice (I had banana, and lemon) - I bring this up mainly because neither Aziz or myself are Muslim, while Tanya is. She recently converted, but a meeting involving two non-Muslim guys and a Muslim girl in public is still fairly uncommon around Medinah Nas. For instance, my landlord doesn't allow alcohol or unwed girls into the building. It's a super conservative society. But it's interesting because it's perhaps a look into the future as far as a more 'progressive' Muslim approach from the the female sector?? She only wears the head wrap because of pressure from Egyptians, but back in Germany she dresses how she pleases. I can keep going into it, and perhaps will at a later time, but I'm afraid I'm making you fall into a deep slumber.

Anyway, I've been recruited to be a camera man for a upcoming action movie. I'll be securely strapped into the back seat of a car, while she attempts to drive the streets in Cairo...I know, I know - driving here is a dangerous enough activity, but I feel as if the cause is noble, and I'm all about the thrill. Maybe we can post it on the net somewhere.

I also am including a picture of a scene that resembles something I see everyday. It's not my photo, but downloading my personal pictures (here) other than what I've already included on the yahoo site is an extreme hassle, and I'm not too fond of encountering such a cluster anytime soon. So enjoy the donkey!

I'm also growing a beard...I haven't shaved in some 2 weeks, and I feel as if I can get away with it here...it's really not attractive in the least bit, and it itches like crazy, but I'm determined...and tomorrow, I'll show you a picture of my motivation for said beard.

Climate: Pleasant...60-70? Hazy
Listening: Sparta (both albums)
Eating: fuul...blah
Thinking: About going to Alexandria - again.
