And still people are resilient, they are pursuing their livelihoods, claim God to expel them from this crisis unharmed.
At first glance you might feel the extent of the misery and dire situation that is home to the people of Cairo, but the mystery withstand always remains the satisfaction it once did, so if you think that Egypt is experiencing the worst character I advise you to read Is Egypt is experiencing now is the worst days of its history already?

The rules is different here .. Ask astray
Al-Qaeda always go as follows .. Ask reach, but in Cairo often Qaeda differ .. if you do not know your destination do not ask, often go your someone to another place, and another goes back to a strange place away from your destination and then to place the strangest, that ultimately fall into a spiral of straying into the streets of Cairo, and end up sitting on a broken sidewalks ask God to bring you out of this unscathed city.

If you own a smart phone then type your destination on the application and will guide maps, directions to your destination, then you can ask about how to go there - The did not have Searh- often find "microbus" desired.

Talk politics
Before the twenty-fifth of January 2011 was a political speech in the Egyptian street taboo, the killing of the former regime's political awareness among Egyptians for more than thirty years, made the scene a group of liars, Almstenain, and dominating the minds and dreams of everyone.
After the revolution turned the case a hundred and eighty degrees, there is no longer a man, a woman, a young man, a girl, and even a child does not talk politics, everyone became scholars between the overnight exercise of political freedom without barriers or prohibitions.
Over the three years of Egyptian life has become completely political, engaged in political life without any prior experience or awareness resulting in a very different views resulted in the sharp division between the people in the political consensus in turn led to extreme intolerance and accept the opinions of others ..

Be sure to talk politics with anyone who would have led eventually to either self-pity on the case of the country and its people, and either pride since reached intact, and in both cases will not make a difference, but will worsen the situation that you're opposed to another view Here enter a spiral will not come out of them unscathed.
