come in from the cold for a while
Met up with Aakash last night (finally). Hanmeen, the new title of "The Korean," is on his way to Dahab. I moved into Andre's room last Friday and already it will hold its second visitor this evening, a new trainee from the US. Last night I met up with the random polish dude who found my blog and emailed me (cheers to someone cool finding it). He's taking a break from school to travel Cairo - Johannesburg via Eastern Africa, and has done other similar journeys previously. Cool Dude. His blog is in Polish, but it has some photos of the utmost sweetness. He studies journalism and figured a little experience on the road is worth more than sleeping through class. I buy that. Guarino was here a few days back; we failed to connect though.
Anyway, I've come to realize how much of a stepping stone Cairo is for so many people. Whether it's for travel or for work, there's a ton of people in the city simply so they can get somewhere else. I've met numerous people here for work experience they can't get at home, i.e. reporting or getting a foot in a multinational door. Very few are here long term, and that makes for a certain dynamic atmosphere. Few faces are seen for long, and some not more than once. Enjoy the moment, son.
And my last ponderance: why is your average nomad (I differentiate this from "traveller") so much cooler than the average of "the rest"?

I hate physics so much that I refuse to take any more of its owning me. So I switched my second major to econ. Good call on your part, but why didn't we see it [the obvious] any sooner?
there were, pardon my french, photons in our eyes.
I figured you'd gotten used to the abuse. Which one took it too far?
Oh, and how is 701 (or whatever math class I would have let you convince me to take had I been there)?
