Day 0: Done Done Done!

Exams're done! Last undergrad exam of my life completed at 2:30pm. In a few hours, I will be bound for Cairo to begin my 18 day grad trip :)

So on the plane, watched 4 movies and passed out at the French airport and on the plane to Egypt from France (amid an anooying kid who kept hitting my chair from behind).

2.5 hr exam, 8+5 hour flight, 3 hr stopover, Soldier Mson arrives in Cairo!

Important Observations about the Traffic at Cairo:
1) Traffic lights --> always yellow, never red or green
2) 2 lane traffic --> one car on the left and right of dotted line, and another one on the dotted
3) Cars continuously honk and tons of hand gestures are used to cut ppl off
4) The 'real' traffic lights are these guys in white uniforms who ask you for tips if you ask for directions
5) You ain't a true driver in Egypt if you don't drive on the dotted line at all times
