Sweet tooth

Egyptians are well known for having a sweet tooth and this shop is very popular for its cakes, chocolate, baklava and ice cream. My favourite is the toffeed pistachio in dark chocolate. So I bought a big box.

I took the Metro across town and back to get my police clearance and went for a walk. The Metro is good people watching; for the locals and me, usually the only foreigner on the system.

Unfortunately I had to deal with an Egyptian man trying to walk with me and chat me up, but after about 5 minutes of me being rude and sarcastic and him not giving up, I asked him to leave me alone. He suddenly became very apologetic and respectful and left. Harassment is at record levels.. and that was only a minor incident..

Coffee in Eish wa Malh (bread and salt) for the memories, then back to Zamalek. A walk, a lovely little red, locally made handbag purchased and dinner at the Thai, minus Dd and Bb.. maybe next time..

Another good day.
