So I was apartment hunting today. Amir's mom Manal took me out to an internet broker this morning. It turns out all of their ads on-line are old and merely a way to get people to come in to their office. There was a Club Aldo across the street from the broker's office so Manal and Nahar could go boot shopping. I hung around outside and snapped some pictures. (below)
We went by the Anglican Church in southern Zemalek and I secured a temporary room for the next week at their hostel. The place is VERY nice and clean. The next stop was AUC. The place was closed but thankfully they let me in to look at the information bullitan board where they post apartment advertisements. I pulled out my camera and took a photo of each notice. Manal was suspicious and had to see herself that they actually showed up in my camera. "I don't always like technology!" she said. "Why can't you just write them down with a pencil? You're just like Amir!" I laughed.

It sounds like things are going well I hope you are able to find a nice place that is close to campus. Thanks for all the pics it is nice to be able to see what things look like in Cairo. I am sure it is a blessing to have the help of Amir's family. By the time you come home you should be very proficent in Arabic.
