So in short, Egypt is a nutty place. I will upload photos when I have time. At 20 million people, my sources tell me it is the world's most polluted city. I had a brief stomach issue for about 2 days, a spell that inculded cramps and pain, nothing else. I haven't yacked yet which, concidering my stomach problems, is a good thing.

The pyramids are more ominous and amazing than one can imagine. Unfortunately, they are surrounded by a sprawling urban area and garbage is EVERYWHERE. Not like a wrapper here and there, but literally shit and bags and bottles and trash swirling up around the steps of the pyramids and lining the entire perimeter. Very disheartening.

The Nile is also fucked. Concidering it was the life blood of this area for 10 thousand years and only in the last 200 has been rendered useless, seeing its grandeur is difficult in a modern context. Jered saw a dead donkey floating in it for 6 days before I came: enough said.

I will not speak of my observations of the Islamist Police State Egypt is currently governed by. We truly do have it good in Canada though. The men here stare at me and Ive only left the house in skinny jeans and T-shirts; no minis or even shorts and I still get just leered at. It makes me feel very angry and sad and uncomfortable all at once.

More later.
