Here are two pictures that just about summarize my spare time: Drinking fresh juice while enjoying an air-conditioned climate; and watching a sheep being slaughtered on the banks of the Nile. If you have never watched a sheep being taken apart piece by piece with one small knife, I highly recommend it- fascinating stuff. Although, I did get quite a lot of flak from one of my friends for grabbing a lawn chair to watch the process a little more comfortably...
I have now moved 5 times, this time the place is a lot nicer and COOLER with a gorgeous view- pictures will appear soon.
I recently had my fortune told by a diviner who can read shells. He told me a lot of (detailed)stuff from my past that he would never know, so I was inclined to believe his predictions for the future. The most frightening one is that he knew I had been feeling sick for a while- he told me that the pain in my stomach is caused by the "evil eye." Now, I am not one to believe in such stuff but based on the aforementioned information he had, I was nearly worked up into a frenzy. I didn't sleep for most of the night thinking about this damn evil eye, and the next day I promptly set to researching how to rid myself of it. I ended up going to the souq and buying a chain with a hamza caffe on it to protect me from future damage. However, it does not get rid of the old evil eye. I have to get some black seeds for that...
