a night on the town

For dinner I took the metro with Sara and Ben to Ma'adi. Ma'adi is a wealthier neighborhood south of downtown, where many expats and upper class Egyptians live. We went to a cafe where I discovered the joys of feter. Similar to a crepe, but thicker, we split one with nutella and cinnamon for dinner. The joys of living without parents.







































Later I met up with Amr and my roommates. We went to his friend's penthouse over tahrir square (where AUC is), and then went to a hookah bar where everyone was watching a soccer match. The cafe was pretty full, so the owner moved our seats out onto the sidewalk--I'm not sure whether he wanted us on display, whether he thought we wouldn't like the noise, or whether the guys didn't want girls inside--it was quite the sausage fest... Three more of Amr's friends showed up, all named Ahmed.

Here we are at the penthouse! From left to right: Amr, Erin, Lesley (my roomie), and moi.
