Tecchnical Ingenuity, Egyptian Chutzpah
One thing you notice living in this country is that Egyptians can actually be quite ingenious when not being so threatens their bank account.
Another thing you learn is that it is possible for the word 'ingenious' to acquire negative connotations; in other words, there's breeds of genius without which the world would be a far more rational and forgiving place to live.
In this picture, a poor unsuspecting Jeep appears to have had terminal problems with the passenger seat. I think, from an aesthetical perspective, this picture about sums up Egypt in the 21st century. ¶ 12:39 PM

Lol, what a pic. Actaully this pic shows how much the Egyptians are practical. By the way, I like you car's color.
Youssef,
I found you among the trillions of homeless bytes. How are you ?
I am not sure if its ingenuity or practicality or .... Actually a recent experience might illuminate what I am trying to say : I was describing to my friend how the current 'democratic elections' in Egypt are run,I told her about the bribes, the hooligans, the corruption and so on. She paused for a couple of minutes, then said, with innocence and sincerity : "So why do you have elections then, why doesnt the government just place whom ever they want and save everyone the trouble"
Why dont you email me:
