Today was a marvelous Egypt day, fueled by my having gotten ethics board approval for my thesis, helpful comments from my thesis advisor, lunch with a friend at the French cultural center, and having enjoyed a really excellent double class (which, I can say in all honesty, I would have liked to have run even longer). I had dinner with a fun bunch (that sounds like the way someone's grandmother would describe a group of people, wow) at Om al-Dahab downtown. I hadn't been to the baladi mom and daughter establishment since last year, but I realized I was missing out. The molokheya and bamiya were pretty tasty.
In the interest of capitalizing on the time I have available to rest, I'm going to cut to the good stuff:
New & Issues
- Egyptian opposition leader Nour launches "anti-succession campaign"
- EU-funded research symposium in Cairo focuses on Migration
- Private school closes due to H1N1 flu
- "That Cairo is a polluted city" is "based on rumors" says Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency official. See the clip below for information on just how dismal the air pollution problem is here.
