Cairo Life :: Ahlo?
It’s so common to see people everywhere on their mobile phones. Cairo is no different. The phone greeting in Egyptian Arabic is “Ahlo.” Almost like “hello,” but just different enough. Taken Oct., 2011. ~kim The power of positive thinking. Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »
Cairo Life :: The Old NDP Building
A constant reminder that things are different today in Cairo than a year ago. Who knew that the then ruling National Democratic Party’s headquarters would be set on fire and to my knowledge there was little or no attempt to put it out.

Cairo Life :: Sunset on Saturday, January 28, 2012...
Many people went to the Kasr el Nil Bridge on Saturday, January 2012 for an anniversary prayer. A year earlier the bridge was a pivotal point and a battle ground as Egyptians took a stand against the Mubarak regime. ~kim The power of positive thinking.

Cairo Life :: The Big Mosque
Going to and from the AUC campus on the bus, it’s hard to miss this large mosque near the 6th of October flyover. I don’t know the name of the mosque, so let me know. Captured this pic in December, 2011. Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »

Cairo Life :: Mobile Phones
Sometimes teaching colleges students is like teaching kindergarteners. You have to tell them to quiet down. You have to tell them to pay attention. And sometimes you have to confiscate their mobile phones like the ones in this picture. Taken on Sunday, December 11, 2011. ~kim The power of positive thinking.

Cairo Life :: Who Wants Popcorn?
Street vendors selling popcorn are now a common site in #Tahrir, however, that was not always the case. Who knows where they were prior to #Jan25, but the popcorn’s delicious. And for one or two pounds, it’s a great bargain. Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »

Cairo Life :: Country Living In the City
It’s not unusual to see donkeys pulling carts and calabashs throughout Cairo. But when I saw this guy sitting on what appears to be a bale of hay on Taha Hussein Street in Zamalek, I had to capture the moment! Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »

Street vendors can be found all over Cairo, but since the #Jan25 revolution, street vendors have become a fixture in #Tahrir Square. This vendor is selling beans and he serves them in paper cylinders. Taken April, 2011. Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »

Cairo Life :: Empty Tear Gas Canisters
Seems 2011 is the year of tear gas in Cairo (and in other places). A young guy displays empty tear gas canisters in Tahrir Square. Presumably emptied during the recent battles between protesters and police. Taken on Monday, November 21, 2011. Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »
Cairo Life :: The Long Ride Home
The view on the way home from the AUC campus one evening in September. It usually takes more than 75 minutes to get to Zamalek (and that’s a conservative estimate). Taken in Katemeya. (2011). Posted via email from Ohradiogirl’s posterous | Comment »
