June in Cairo

Hey guys, sorry I haven't really been keeping up with the blog. so here are a quick funny, and enjoyable things that have happened to me during the last two weeks.

1. If you are going to get on a bus in Cairo pay exact amount of money or else you pay more than you needed. haha

2. Man, I got on a metro and forgot that a section of the metro is just for women. BIG mistake. haha. All you can do is laugh if you make that mistake!

3.I spent 3 and half hours out in the sun the day I went to the pyramids. haha- my cheeks turn not red or dark-brown but pink!

4. Every time i get on a taxi with Mariam (my boss) and Janet, I can't speak or else we get charged more.

5. I thoroughly enjoyed being at the 25th anniversary of the Deaf Unit in Egypt. Embassadors from Japan, Ireland, Denmark, Minister Social of Work of Egypt , and Bishop Mounieer were there. It was also a very emotional event because Madam Claire (Director of Deaf Unit) is moving to Canada, and you could tell everyone loves her very much. All the kids there were adorable..man i need to learn sign language.

6. I've realized that i am very picky when it comes to eating kepda (liver) cause last time i had it oh man. pretty bad!random I know. hehe

7. My favorite part is walking everywhere without an specific destination. It is very crowded but I enjoy it. You see a lot of small shops and cafe places where mostly likely everyone is smoking the shisha. i always try to find a cafe place where they are showing the Euro2008 cause you can't miss this amazing event. Es futbol!!

8. i have also enjoyed spending time with Refugees in Egypt. Most of them are from Sudan, and on fridays I go to the youth service were Everyone raps and dance to hipo hop. They've asked me to teach how to dance salsa so why not... got to represent latinos somehow.

9. I am excited about interviewing people in the communities of Ain Shames, El Madat Salam, and in Menouf. Pray that I have wisdom in what to say and how to act.

10. I love Egypt!
