Walk like an Egyptian

I made it safe and sound! Flight was great! I flew business the first 9 hours to Frankfurt, which was the shortest long flight I've every taken. I ate dinner, watched Ocean's 13, fell asleep and I woke up as we were preparing for landing. Btw, my opinion about Germans in Germany have not changed from my last visit in April. I try not to generalize a whole population based on a few rude encounters, but it's challenging not to do that since everyone (i mean every service person: at the cafe at Fraport; ticketing people; flight attendants...) was sooooooooo rude, cold, unhelpful...why do the service people, e.g., ticketing counter person, act like they don't understand or speak English? Do I look menacing? Anyways, whatever, i'll give 'em another chance. Then the last 4 hours from Frankfurt to Cairo I flew economy, but the flight was hella empty and I sprawled across the four middle seats and slept the whole way - NICE! So, on the way to the hotel, we were sharing the road with an X5, S500, pre-1985 vehicles, donkey and cart, and random people just loitering in the streets. No lines on the roads. People drive both ways on one road with no lines! For instance, to get to the club building from the main tower of the hotel, the bell hop drove me in a golf cart against the flow of traffic (assuming there is a flow of traffic). So, if you can imagine, a golf cart on Fairfax County Parkway going North and traffic on either side going South - cray-G!I think traffic patterns will take a bit of time to get used to. However, I'm looking forward to the eats! All the locals are telling me about the feasts and fireworks at dusk for Ramadan, so I'm looking forward to that tonight (~if I can stay up). Much luv from your one & only Joo in Cairo.
