Cairo! 10 million people in the middle of the desert.
What can I say but "It's Insane!".
The most notable update detail of life in chaos: The roads on which we will soon be riding.
Everyone drives on the highways from BMW's to donkey carts and everything in between.
Lanes on the road are merely a suggestion. If the car fits between one and the other, go for it! The same goes for pedestrians. Don't walk, run!! You see a small gap in traffic, get in there! If you need to turn left, you know, across 3 lanes of traffic, simply start ramming the bumper of your car across one lane at a time and in a minute or so you will have succesfully mashed yourself across the road. Trafic lights for a city of 10 million? No that would be too crazy.
For now I should go. Someone has just come over to tell me the hotel just lost all of our bookings. From what I have experienced so far, this is all too clasic for how things will be for the next 4 months. Welcome to Cairo!!
