Day 1: Cairo @ Nite

Any logical person with a pounding headache would opt to go to sleep... But Soldier Mson, together w/ his sidekick who's been in Cairo for 2 days, decided to go for dinner and go see Khan el Khalili (a bazaar in Cairo). Met by crazy driving and pushy sales people, we ended up trying a meat dish and some chai!

Today's food:
Chai = Mint Lemon Tea.. Very good!
Papaganosh = grey stuff appetizer like thing that you dip your bread with

So by 12ish am Cairo time (aka 6pm hometime), we were back in the hotel. Hotel looked great on the outside, not so great inside.. haha.. funny thing is that these places requires you to put these room key/tag thing in a slot for the room to have electricity... so coming back from the bazaar, our room was scorching hot!

Invention #4: Ad-hoc AC
Method: Open the mini-fridge... and leave it open :)
Result: Slightly cooler room

So Mson completes his 1st 30 hour day... 36 if you count the time zone difference... but maybe cuz of the jet lag, I wasn't able to sleep and so I was still up at 3am ish..which means... 40 hr day... WOW!
