Mina, my host and tour guide in Cairo, warned me that Egyptians are crazy, especially in driving. I thought he was kidding. I thought wrong.
There are no lanes on the roads in Cairo. There are also no crosswalks. What I thought was a crazy game of human frogger in Chiang Mai was nothing compared with the Egyptian version–sometimes crossing 6-8 lanes of fairly rapidly moving traffic. It really was impressive to watch, but a bit nerve wracking as well.
In addition to watching human frogger, I did also get to see the pyramids and the sphinx today. Wow.
It was pretty crazy to be seeing something right there before me that I have read and heard about for so long. Pretty awe inspiring.
