walks and graffiti
5/13:
Today was a working day in photo class. We spent the first 3 hours editing, then took a break to check out some of the street vendors nearby the school. Victoria and Rob bought corn on the cob from one of the vendors, which I tried, it’s definitely not like American corn on the cob but it’s still pretty good. We spent the last hour critiquing, talking about our project ideas and showing the pictures we have taken since arriving in Egypt. (good stuff so far!)
Meg, Matt, Steve, Drew and I went on a photo walk adventure around Zamalek and found at least 5 different embassies (including Lithuania!). We also found a SICK garage with a giant graffiti mural on the outside wall. The mechanic tried to tell us more about the artist but there was kinda a language barrier, so I’m too sure what he was saying. But we’re gonna go back next week and try to find someone who speaks English to tell us more about the artist.
Chilled out and watched the Italian Job. During the movie one the girls stopped by to show us her solution to constantly needing to buy water- she bought a office cooler jug of water. 22 litres for 20 pounds- not a bad deal, but a tad bit inconvenient.
Later that night Me and Meg met up with Amr who is a friend of my friend Lily (she did this dialogue 2 years ago), and he gave us a tour of Cairo by car at night. It was pretty sick, Cairo definitely loves lights!
