this country has technical difficulties

so, the reason I haven't posted anything in a bit is because the internet stopped working in Egypt. for real. apparently, there is only one cable into egypt, and it got cut. woops! At first we thought it was just the wireless in the dorm but when we called the man at reception said, "No, all of AUC, all of Cairo, all of Egypt!"

so, welcome to egypt.

in other exciting news: the woman yelled "man ON the floor!" today instead of the usual "man the floor!" I am very impressed but I think I liked it better the other way.

went to a party at the American embassy last night thrown by the marines. surprisingly really fun. Visited Maadi today which is a posh upper class neighborhood a couple metro stops from downtown. will post pictures and more details about that soon.
