- I bought some peanut butter yesterday at "Best Buy." It is not an electronics store in Egypt but a nice little supermarket in El Rehab city. Peanut butter and sliced bread (which is also uncommon in Egypt) have never tasted so good.
- Yesterday there was a football game in Cairo. Football is a huge deal, so we got to cheer on Egypt as they were playing Costa Rica. As we were watching, I saw a girl who's in my Arabic class on TV. She has long, blonde hair, so she was very easy to spot. We might be going to a football game this weekend...it should be fun.
- This weekend I get to go to Fatimid Cairo, including Al-Azhar mosque, which is pretty much the Harvard of the Sunni Muslim world. I can't wait. I should have pictures up shortly after I return.
- My roommate, whose name is Mohab, finally moved in. He brought a full-sized refrigerator with him. He's cool, though. He invited me to his house during Thanksgiving break, so I'll probably take him up on the offer.
- There is a "Gucci corner" at AUC where all the people with expensive clothes hang out. I think I'll probably join them. And speaking of clothing, I'm really sad I didn't remember to pack my "I love math" t-shirt.
What once was "Ben's Egyptian Adventure!" is now "Ben's Moroccan Adventure!" All the content from my Egyptian extravaganza is stored in the archives along the side of the website, and of course I'll regularly post updates--pictures, videos, and witty tales--about what's happening as I explore Morocco!

Week in Bullet Points
I should be working on Arabic homework right now, but I want to put it off for a little bit. So in the meantime:
1 comment:
1. Your use of the word "though" in Bullet Point #3 implies that someone who totes around a full-size refrigerator is not cool.
2. I will send you a Prada man-purse for Christmas so you'll feel more comfortable in Gucciville.
3. Miss you!
Kisses,
Your Adoring Sister
