Cairo Part Two: Totally Unscripted

I'll admit that I like to watch a movie or two, and I admit that I've been sucked into the romantic ideal of what it's like in Egypt. You know the kind of Hollywood notion I'm talking about, where a simple trip can lead to long lost treasure, danger and romance. Below is my photographic essay on what's real, and what ain't. (Please excuse the layout, Bloggers easy "click and drag publishing" is about as easy as clicking and dragging an elephant accross a mine field).

Thank God some things don't change.
Of course let's not forget Mummies and Pharoahs, Mosques and Minarets, koftah and kebabs, bargains and Baksheesh, noise, life and smiles. Thankfully not everything is as simple as Hollywood would like us to believe.

Till next time.
