Of Upset Stomach and Traffic Jams

We were coming back from the factory yesterday... taking the Ismailiya Hiway from the 10th of Ramadhan.... We left the factory at about 430pm....

A few KMs from Cairo, we were stuck in a really bad traffic jam.... it took us almost one and a half hour to cover about 3KM.... Why? Basically nobody knew.... it just happened... Maybe road constructions... or maybe there were just too many vehicles yesterday going into Cairo...

The worse thing was that my stomach wasn't feeling so good... Might be because of that Mo'meen Seafood sandwich that I ate for lunch...

Didn't want to take the chances.... I asked my driver friend to stop at the next mosque or gas station... There were none to be found along the way, unfortunately...

2-3KMs from the hotel, we found a Mobil station and.... aaahhhhh.... what a relief.... but....this was something that you don't expect to find in Egypt's toilets......


NO HOSE OR TAP TO WASH!!!.... YIKES!!!


* Today I told them, no more Mo'meen please.... and we had Baladi bread and tuna chunks for lunch... which was not bad, not bad at all.....
