ok, change of plans - After meeting w/ the board, the majority voted for this method of communication, as opposed to the last - so we're all hopeful it'll better serve the customer (this is you). Sooo when you're feeling curious about ye ol' trip to Cairo, feel free to check this address for current, fresh, sexy, fast-paced details(the board also agreed to a more aggressive/younger marketing approach), and feel free to ask quuestions about anything over here if you have any? I will however refrain from answering questions regarding intimate relations regarding camels (Chris!). So with that said...let's begin - shall we?

Today was another day, and with each passing day - I'm becoming more fonder of this place. This is a far cry from a few weeks ago, when I spent quite possibly the most restless three days of my life...so yeh spirits are up/steady.

I'm happy with my class, I'm learning a lot what I already knew, but it's different this time because now I can take what I learned that day, and try it out on Ahkmed...he's my tumia (falafal) artist over here...he makes the best wraps anyone can ask for, and seems fond of me, and enjoys hearing what I have to say [in arabic]. I'll get a picture of him before I leave...he's too nice. If anyone wants to pitch in maybe we can FedEx his ass back to the states, and all benefit from this culinary stroke of genius.

Sooo that's about it for today...think we're gonna see the Citadel over the weekend...Oh...did y'all know that today (monday) is my 'hump' day...the weekends for me are Thurs and Fri. It's not that hard to get used too though.

Saw a football game a few days ago. Cameroon v. Cote D'Ivoire. I forget who won...let's just say Cameroon, b/c that's clearly more fun to say.

I believe Egypt is playing a game tonight, and if that's the case, then it'll be a good night because for some reason our television gets quicker feed than the other televisions around the area...by like 10 seconds, so when Egypt scores, it's hilarious, we'll mute the set, and run over to the balcony and it's like right on que you'll here the entire block erupt in huge cheers...funny stuff.
