Today –Saturday– was a good day.
Four different girls felt the need to touch my soft short hair :-)
I finished reading "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian". Very fun book.
I went to book club. Today we talked about "Black Faces, White Masks" and "the Yacoubian Building" as well as the general "otherness" theme.
Then I hung out with Namaai kids at Makan for an open mic and a discussion on two short movies. All in Arabic, I could understand almost everything.

After that, had the regular kofta sandwich in dokki sq. Now back home, organizing photos and this week's lovely blog posts by Safy :-)

| Some downtown graffiti. Notice "Gika" in the bottom right, he'll appear again further down. |
