another Haiku

tea next to the Nile,

a tree disrupting traffic,

where have we gone now?


So far almost every Friday (the weekend is Friday and Saturday here) has been devoted to wondering around Cairo and finding neat shops, etc.
So far I have found:
-A copy of Wuthering Heights that has been thoroughly marked in
-A gun store
-Some fantastic arabic-english and arabic-arabic dictionaries
-The best tea I've ever had
-Terrible art
-An Aquarium
-Unfamiliar odors
-...and many praying muslims (Friday is the holy day)

    lol @ many praying muslims =D
    If you go on regular "Haikus", you'll find alot of wayyy more interesting stuff than just Aquariums and Terrible Art. Good Luck out there!

    there's also the the Cairo Hash House Harriers (http://www.cairohash.com/)... not really sure what else is out there, sure 4 years here myself coulda done more exploration, but its not my thing. the Harriers could prolly help out more.
