another five things

1. a eveningtime feluca cruise on the nile around the southern tip of gezira island. the glittering hotel lights, the flapping of the sail, the beautiful silence. in fact this is so damn good that i am starting an exclusive backgammon club, in which a group of us meet weekly to play on board the little yacht. you can all join if you want, it's not that exclusive.
2. prefuse 73 reads the books ep
3. the cairo trilogy by naghib mahfouz
4. making friends with the guys from cairo university who hang out after 2am every morning down the street, sitting on the trunk of a car.
5. the approaching 4 day diving course in the red sea... thankyou, parents, thankyou!
