Saturday entailed a chance to meet students from Cairo University (the non-American one). The students here were actually Egyptian and we all had excellent discussions on politics, human rights, and pop culture. We managed to snag a thumb drive's worth of popular egyptian music including the best song here (which is only now starting to get tiring), Yani Yani Yani. The CU kids were so much friendlier and down to earth. They actually seemed to care about what they were doing and were generally excited to talk with us. Hopefully we'll see them again before they leave. Felucca Ride! We also went to that awesome hookah bar that night again. We learned some names and made friends.
Today we had an interesting class like usual and then went to an unimpressive restaurant to talk about stuff with Prof. Sullivan. For whatever reason, something from today or yesterday did not agree with me and I ended up missing the football game to get to know the toilet back at the hotel and then fall asleep for five and a half hours. It was all in due time, most everyone's gotten sick so far. Feeling better.
