You Me Now

Let's get physical...

Last Monday evening, I went to a spinning class with Isabelle and Mario, as I had not exercised since I arrived in Cairo and started to feel my belly touching my toes. At the time it sounded like a great idea. I don't know if anyone here has ever attended...

Boys, boys, boys...

For once, I'm not going to talk about me, but about some of my female colleagues, who have had the most peculiar experiences since they arrived in Cairo. You remember when I said in a previous post that Egyptian men are just frustrated and desperate for...

Sweet dreams are made of this...

Last weekend has been quite nice: on Friday, Marie-Eve, Mario and I went to a hotel for a bit of sunbathing around a pool. Oh yes, you might wonder why the hell we went to a hotel for this... Well, just because in Cairo, there’s no such thing as a local...

It's Oh so quiet...

The last days have been very quiet, as I've been attending inset days at my new school... Well, looking back at all the adventures I had, I guess this is not a bad thing that my life's not as eventful at the moment. I'm really scared about this school...

Come fill my little world, right up...

Today I woke up, went to the bathroom, turned the tap on and... no water! I ran to the kitchen, same deal! I randomly first thought I was lucky enough to have a lanlord who just didn't find it a good idea to pay for the water while the flat was vacant......

That's not my name...

Sorry about the last three days of silence but something crazy happened to me! Yes, again! You remember how on Wednesday I was supposed to go to school for the first time in order to attend the first of a very long series of inset days with my fellow...

Without you I'm nothing...

Ok, today I was on a mission - yes, another one! I really wanted to clean my flat in order to settle in properly and really feel at home. I went to the local market and bought lots of cleaning products. By twelve, there I was, scrubbing and washing. I...

Walk like an Egyptian...

Yes! Score! Yesterday, two - yes, TWO! - Egyptians came to me in the street and asked for directions in Arabic. Can you believe it?! I'm definitely part of this city, I look like one of them! So cool!... Well, maybe not... It might keep me safe from tourist...

Why does it always rain on me?...

Ok, I just want to cry right now! Mahmoud called me this morning (Aww, I knew he couldn't stay away for long!) and asked whether I had signed the contract for the flat I saw last night and whether I had paid the deposit. Which I both did. He then told...

Where do broken hearts go?...

Today was a very busy day... No, I didn't spend the day in the toilet, and yes, I'm feeling much better, thanks for asking! I guess my body got used to tap water and street food, yeah! We'll have to see about strangers in bars now!... Anyway, it all started...
