Just wanted to thank Michael McCain, Josh Keiler's old pal from E-Translate, and the merry band of Cairenes and foreigners with whom he connected me. Thanks to Osama, Shyima, Bardy, Maria, Phillip and Sebastian for great times at the pyramids, at the Cairo Jazz Club, at the Egyptian Flamenco concert and all the taxi rides in-between.
Check out Osama's excellent photography. He uses all kinds of old photographic proceses that no one does anymore. Awesome. He's a Spanish and Russian-speaking Syrian based in Minnesota who is spending 2 years in Cairo capturing its magic. Im'sh'allah he will have a show in Manhattan sometime this spring. (Sorry Shyima if the photo embarrasses you!)

Egyptian drummer/ pharmcy owner sounds pretty pretty pretty good. No CVS or Wahlgreens in Cairo. What are pharmacies like in Cairo? Are they modern and are they called apothecaries?? Do they have the knowledge and upto date drugs that we have in the states and do you have to have prescriptions to get these medicines??
