Wheeee!!!
So I ran into my friend, Jonathan, yesterday at the library, just as I was about to poke my eyes out from boredom. I've been dying to get him to take me for a ride on his motorcycle, which he shipped over from the states a few months ago, and wouldn't you know, Thursday was my lucky day.
I never imagined driving in Cairo could be fun, but seeing the city from the back of a motorcycle is something not to be missed. I hadn't been on a bike in maybe three years and it all came back to me very quickly as to how freaking fantastic they are. Speeding across the Nile or along the corniche, the city just looks better somehow.
To top it all off, we went to TGI Friday's for lunch. Go ahead, laugh. I would, too. But in my defense, I needed to escape from Egypt for an hour or two, and TGI Friday's (which is located on a huge boat docked on the Nile) definitely did the job. You can not imagine the crap someone paid a lot of money to ship from the states in order to trick out the restaurant American style. The only things out of place were (1) the male waiters wearing leather Harley Davidson vests covered in "flair" and (2) the Fifty Cent soundtrack blasting in the background. Only in Egypt, I tell you.
