Yes, it is so typical. I have to pass this on to hubby, he will no doubt enjoy reading about his beloved Cairo.
ReplyDeleteThat just sounds so fascinating to me. I was never able to tolerate living in cities but I do love to visit them. Something about the level of energy in a city, it's too much for my brain to handle on a long term basis.
ReplyDeletefascinating, the poetry of chaos.
ReplyDeleteit reminds me of Brazil in many ways, it takes a special kind of outlook or as the french would say "regard", to find these moments of serenity.
Wow, that is a lot to take in. I like to think it is what I would imagine it to be, but pretty much know that I can't possibly comprehend.
