Cairo -- the first days

I have arrived in Cairo.

From its crumbling european style apartment buildings to the Nile running briskly through the center of town, Cairo has a charm that lures me in with its resemblance to some sort of proving ground for civilizations.

Already I've encountered a "Pharoanic staircase" -- ie a rickety spiral staircase only barely attached to its foundation, and a Little Donkey, ie the best fuul and tameeya place around according to Abdo.

Adventure, part 5 or 6, is already underway.
