معجبانية وصبية*

الدقي مساء

I always say "Spain is a Gem", but from now on I'll add "and Egypt is a dusty one".
Don't get me wrong, Egypt -Cairo actually- hides & demonstrates different faces of history, art, heritage ...etc, but in a dusty presentation (see: Pollution), this may apply to Beijing as well.

I spent 7 beautiful days in Cairo... and I'm not done nor satisfied yet.

Highlights from the past week:

• Celebrities are everywhere: Nabeel El-Halafawi, Ahmed Bedair, Saber El-Reba'ey, Hamdy El-Wazeer, Sami El-Adl & Tariq something (I forgot his last name)... I even saw Muhammad Al-Jasem in El-Hussein, he was the only one there wandering in Ghutra & 3gal.

• First Mall & City Stars.

• Book-shopped at "Dar El-Shorouk"... doesn't it remind you of someone? Salamat ;)

• El-Hussein:

- visited the alleged shrine of Al-Hussein bin Ali's Head !!
- Had tea & "Sa7lab" at "Waley El-Ni3am" & El-Fishawy Cafes.
- Made a brief visit to Naguib Mahfouz Cafe.
- Had Egyptian Pancakes from "Fa6a6ry El7ussein".

• Book-shooped at the AUC Bookstore.

• Had lunch at Abou El-Sid, and met a wonderful blogger.... now introduce yourself ;)

• Book-shopped at Diwan.

• Attended a mini concert for Flamenca at "Saqyet El-Sawi".

• Tomorrow, we're planning to attend Al-Ahli's training. (they came back from Japan earlier today and jammed Cairo's traffic... like it needs more jams)

on a side note...
to my surprise my mom called today and said instantly "Hak kallim M7ammad Sa3eed 7arib!!", and it was a nice opportunity to thank him for the creativity he bestowed upon us during last Ramadhan... and while I was talking to him, I kept hearing kids & grown-ups "screaming" of joy (including my 2 beautiful nieces).


P.S.
To write the post you just read, I turned "Gibran" into a Mosquitoes Graveyard, Macs are attractive, white, bright & "hot". (causalities: 25 smashed & 4 crippled).
