Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie...

Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie...
In my desperate attempt to see everything I can in Egypt before I f*** off for good – oh yes, I can’t wait! – Marie-Eve, Mario and I went to Alexandria last weekend, as none of us had ever been there and it’s meant to be a cool Egyptian city... Well at...

Over the Easter holidays, my mother came to visit. I was really happy to see her and looking forward to our planned holiday cruise on the Nile for the next five days. When she first arrived in Cairo, I took her to a silver shop where many of my colleagues...

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...

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...

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...
