A Frisian in Cairo. Diary notes and a bit of news from Egypt. Friday, September 19, 2008. The Good, The Bad and .The Taxi Driver. Taking a taxi in Cairo. aaaah, I could make a documentary about it. Serious! Since Cairo taxi's don't work with metres it is a bit of a Wild West. I decided to post this blog as I think people should definitely share in my experience.
