nimsa eats koshari

this is andrea, my austrian roommate. we call her nimsa, which means austria in arabic. she has just recently decided she doesn't want to be called that anymore. she prefers her name.
nimsa is eating koshari which is one of the dishes egypt is most proud of. it is macaroni, rice, lentils, tomato sauce and fried onion. it will cost you about 1 or 2 egyptian pounds, which is only twice as much as you are expected to give the guy who holds your toilet door open and turns on the tap for you in resturant bathrooms.
