I’m two months into my Egyptian summer now. I know, I promised to post blogs on my adventures here but with extremely slow internet in the country side where I’m spending most of my time, I opted to update via Twitter & Facebook. I’m still getting the hang of blogging via my Blackberry phone so please bare with me. (I’m extremely tempted to purchase a Blackberry Playbook. I know, I’m getting sucked into the tablet market but what can I do, I’m a nerd!)
In the meantime, everyone’s been asking me, how’s Tahrir Square? Sadly, I haven’t been allowed to go as of yet. Yes, for safety reasons, my father and cousins have not encouraged my passion to be part of the Egyptian protests. However, my other cousins and I have a plan of our own… let’s just hope it works.
You could still post things heard from family and friends – tastes and sounds, perhaps not from Tahrir directly, but other parts of the country. It’s still preferable and more interesting than a lot of tripe one reads in Western media. Keep the world updated. Every little morsel of info is much appreciated!
Best,
Tom
Thank you! I swear I’m working on a couple of posts of my amazing experience in Egypt which should be posted very soon. =)
