Cairo

History:
Went to the Cairo museum. Awesome. Antiques of immeasurable value are laid out in crusty old wooden cases reminiscent of when they were first catalouged in the 1900s. The only thing to discourage someone from breaking the glass and swiping the booty is the ever-present guard in each room carrying an old AK47. No one seems too keen to test its firing capability though.

Driving:
The roads in Cairo have no lane markings and the curb stones are enormous. This is mainly due to the fact that:
1) Lanes are unimportant if you ignore them
2) Driving is a sport, not a task
3) If you are a taxi, your car is so beat up, it doesn't matter if you hit someone else.

If the cars all had a wire pointing up into the air, it would cement the image of a city entirely driven by people in dodgem cars... I love it. Would like to know if we can hire a car just for the fun of joining in.

Sanscript:
It looks lovely. This probably says "Mark Rocks".
