IC-Al Quahira Al Fatemeya

The sun didn't rise up today - Tue, 2008-12-16 10:26 By bigsolom

This is the second post of the IC series as i promised, this one was in “el moez le deen allah al fatemy” street in “el hussein” it’s a street that has been closed for the cars, all the monuments there have been restored to a very good state and magnificent lights were put. Really it’s great i’m amazed that something this beautiful happened in our country I hope that it lasts and don’t lose attention.

All the photos were taken on sunday, December 14, 2008 at “el moez le den allah al fatemy” street in El-Hussein area and at El-hussein mosque  read more »

In Egypt you can get pretty much anything delivered.   I’ve had a 10 LE bottle of vegetable oil delivered to my apartment, and know people who will routinely call out for a single pack of cigarettes or a coke.  But what I saw today was on a different level.  read more »

Mobinil Wifi Updates #2

Embee's Corner - Tue, 2008-09-09 02:29 By
For the past few months, the wifi debacle seriously affected my working habits. Coffeehouse owners are not taking it sitting down though. I'm a regular customer at Cilantro & Euro Deli, and I've seen the number of laptop users dwindle by time. Also I'm pretty confident it has increased the demand on 3G modems offered by Vodafone & Etisalat. So far the set-up has been to ask the waiter for a free internet card to use for a maximum of 2 hours. None of the cafes I've been to actually sold them.

Traffic Law Fiasco

Embee's Corner - Mon, 2008-08-04 13:33 By
If you're unfortunate enough to be struck with the new Traffic Law where it hurts the most, you might want to check the document out. Up until I read that, I only had information as far as tidbits from tv ads and newspapers had. Print it & keep it in the glove compartment. It might come in handy..

B for Blargh

Blargh;
"an exclamation indicating that one has absorbed or is emitting a quantum of unhappiness"

The last line of defense gave way. Despite all the finger-crossing, the well-wishing, and the silent-pleading, it fell. It fell and it crushed me..

Cilantro - at least the one I am at at the moment [Street #9, Maadi], started giving out Link Zone's promotional wifi-cards. So sooner or later there won't be any free internet except at Costa Coffee & Second Cup.

The Fees & The Masses

Embee's Corner - Fri, 2008-04-25 18:03 By

It's no big secret that I'm not a fan of City Stars. It's the epitome of the booming Egyptian consumerism. It still continues to boom despite the flailing economics of the whole country. It is beyond baffling to me.

This weekend i looked over into the cab next to me and sighted a veil form i had yet to see. This was one of the youngish, fashionable types wrapped up into a ball at the back of the head. The layers were greens and white. The innovation: a small, inch-wide, translucent visor at the front. And, no, it wasnt a hat. It was a veil with a visor.
