The random ramblings of a British-Egyptian girl in Cairo. Egypt: The Revolution and Beyond. Monday, August 29, 2011. Date A Girl Who Reads. I found this on my travels on the interweb. So true. Date A Girl Who Reads by Rosemarie Urquico. Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Let her know wha...

Falafel and Chips.: I've Done It!

http://falafelandchips.blogspot.com/2012/06/ive-done-it.html

The random ramblings of a British-Egyptian girl in Cairo. Egypt: The Revolution and Beyond. Saturday, June 16, 2012. Today I attended the ceremony to celebrate completing my Masters degree in Education. Although I have to wait until October to receive the fancy-shmansy certificate, I can officially add some more letters after my name! I am now Nora - - - - BSc MEd. It's taken just over 3 years of hard work, great colleagues, too little sleep and too much food to earn this baby, and I'm so happy it's done!

The Cairo Experiment: July 2010

http://thecairoexperiment.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 29, 2010. Cairo's Drug Culture: Part 2 - The Hashish Dilemma. Hashish is usually sold in the form of fingers, with one being called a 'kersh' or 'coin' amongst other nicknames derived from historical usage when it was sold more openly using weights and scales. Whether true or not, the history of hashish in Egypt is an interesting one, and as long time moves forward, more history will be made. Tuesday, July 27, 2010.

The Cairo Experiment: Pause Cairo: Play El-Sahel (Part 2 - Taposiris Magna Revisited)

http://thecairoexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/08/pause-cairo-play-el-sahel-part-2.html

Sunday, August 8, 2010. Pause Cairo: Play El-Sahel (Part 2 - Taposiris Magna Revisited). I did not get much sleep the night before last, with Taposiris Magna on my mind, and myself in it's vicinity. I decided to see it again, this time with more eye for detail and the surrounding areas. I packed my camera and wore my heavy-duty clothes (perhaps heavily-worn clothes would be a more accurate term) and set for the ancient ruins again. The main enterance to the temple enclosure. A closer look at the stonewor...

The Cairo Experiment: Pause Cairo: Play Suez (Part 1 - Exploration)

http://thecairoexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/07/pause-cairo-play-suez.html

Sunday, July 25, 2010. Pause Cairo: Play Suez (Part 1 - Exploration). The city is quite small, with the governate boundaries coinciding with the city's limits. It was also seen as an important town in the past, with a branch of the Nile river reaching the town even before the canal was dug in the 19th century. It was used as a naval station by the Turks in the 16th century. El-Corniche is one of the large, beautiful and, most of all, lonely boulevards of Suez. One of the brine canals of Suez. I was feeli...

However, don't overlook this song as something only for children. No matter your age, you will enjoy its simple beauty. Though thi...

The Cairo Experiment: River Fish

http://thecairoexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/07/if-there-is-one-part-of-cairo-i-am-not.html

Sunday, July 4, 2010. The 17th floor of the Om Kalthoum Hotel. The order took a little while to arrive, but was definitely worth the wait. The selection was fabulous, and definitely felt fresh, with sparks of unexpected flavors, probably due to the chef's creativity in preparing the rolls and sushi. I personally felt like we have discovered a gold mine. There was no one else there yet the place was fabulous! It all ended in a classic Cairo traffic jam on the way home. Such a bipolar city.
