Being that I’m in class by myself I haven’t had much interaction with any of the other students but the other day a couple of them came into my class during a break and invited me to dinner. They were with a program of about 10 college students who had just finished a 6 week stint in Egypt so they were going to celebrate. It’s definitely nice to have some people to hang out with, talk to, and share experiences. So far I’ve hung out with a few of them a couple times and there definitely have helped me out with becoming more familiar with my surroundings. So big thanks to Shawn, Martina, Bryce, Vanessa, and Q for the hospitality. They’re leaving this Tuesday but it was fun while it lasted. I will say I am thankful for them showing me this website http://www.otlob.com/. It’s a food delivery site, click on it and go to Garden City Cairo to see what other American influences are out here.
The same day I met those students I met another guy by the name of Matt. Matt showed me a place to grab a good authentic meal and the next night we went on a cruise down the Nile (more on that in the next post). Matt left the other day and just finished up a month out here, but he was a cool guy to talk to and again shared some “ah he’s” and “what not to do’s” while here in Cairo.
I’ve also met a couple of other guys through Matt and now that I started another class today I am with someone that just started the program and we are doing 101 together. All cool guys and willing to explore Egypt with me. Just wanted to post something quick about my new American friends and with a combination of Facebook, email, and phone, I haven’t been completely isolated. So until next time…
Take care,
Mike
