feast you eyes on this bad boy! taken today around 12pm near my university and favorite cafe. the khamaseen of cairo. notice the man in the picture, with the mask on. people were breaking these things out left and right, especially the guards at AUC. kind of creepy because my mind immediately jumped to an end of the world scenario. it like the mosque the other day was definitely just a little surreal. i felt a little ill after walking home, maybe from the air.

Oh wow, you weren't kidding about the air.
Hope you're well. And able to breathe.
gaby-nice kermit pic. yea it was fun. today is clear
I really like that first picture, the one where you're looking down the street. It is now my background.
peet-sweet.
Is the air bad because of sand in the air or is it just pollution?
birky-well in this particluar day it was lots of sand in the air. but the pollution here is pretty bad as well. many mornings i will leave my hotel and it will be hazy from all the pollution in the sky. when it rains (which it rarely does) you can tell the difference in how much cleaner the air is (at least for a few hours) i have heard that living here is like smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. i noticed it a lot when i first came here but now not so much.
