After over a week in Cairo I have finally decided on some rough plans. I will be staying in Cairo at least another week- surprise! As you can gather from previous posts I have been really enjoying myself here. So much so that I have extended my visa and have multi-entry status. Now, I can come and go from Egypt as often as I like over the next 6 months- meaning Cairo will be my home base in the middle east. But before I go anywhere I have committed to 1 week of arabic lessons with a guy here at the hostel. Starting on Sat we will meet every day for a few hours and he will teach me. I am starting to pick up a few phrases but arabic is really tough. I think I will enjoy my visits to other countries more if I can get a basic understanding of the language :) Yes, many people speak english- thank Allah- but if they don't things get pretty challenging. So nothing really new to tell you about. Hopefully more travel stories when I take off (possibly to Beruit) in a week or so. Thinking of home but happy abroad.
