A few random things before I go
I'm on Malta, on my way to see the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. But before I say goodbye to Egypt, here are a few fun facts:
1. You will likely be greeted by Egyptian men in Cairo with "welcome to Cairo!" or "do you speak English?" or kissing noises if you're a girl. In other parts, you will likely be greeted with "welcome to Alaska!" Don't ask me why.
2. Walking on the street you see many men with dark patches or scars on their foreheads. It's the mark of a man who prays a lot - rubbing his head against carpet or the ground.
3. The taxis, when in park or sitting on the break (not sure when exactly), play "It's a Small World."
Just thought I'd share that with ya!

well, yes it is a small world, but I would think that song would drive Egyptian cabbies crazy too!
