Well... Nothing

Well,

this weekend was quite lame... Because the whole country shut down during the weekend. Some Islamistic groups, the Brotherhood and the Salafistis announced big demonstrations and thus it was better to stay at home. So the weekend with beach was canceled. We had to drive through Cairo, past Tahir square to get to the beach, so it was a good idea to stay away.

Golfing also was not possible, as my teacher was on a wedding this weekend. So we ended up staying here, doing some basic shopping and cleaning. Nothing special. For next weekend we have some nice things planed.

I will fly back for Christmas mid-December, so if anyone wants to meet, just let me know.

Well, I managed to steal myself some satellite TV from my new down-stair neighbor... I recognized that he installed a dish on the rooftop, so I just connected my TV to the same dish, as there was one slot unused,

It was "fun" finding the cable which was for my apartment. But that's what you have some basic tools for. They will never find out, I am hogging on their dish. But I yet have to check what satellite I am actually receiving now. Still missing one cable to connect the TV to the socket.

Weather is still awesome, spent the whole Friday on the roof with some cold drinks and enjoying the sun. Would have been much nicer on the beach, but I take what I get.

I also had the first visitor here, my Dad came over and spent two nights at my place. I actually never thought he would be the first one to do so... But I am prepared to receive guests :-D

One last word, don't buy those: They are as sweet as they look and you get diabetes just by looking at them.

If you buy breakfast cereals you usually have the choice between sugar and double sugar here. The Egyptians love sugar. One in ten has diabetes here. In twenty years it is estimated to be 3 of ten.

I am staying with the normal European brands, which have less sugar but costs five times more. Imported. If you want quality, you must buy the imported stuff. Local brands are not very nice as a matter of fact.

Good Night :-)
