I hate missing things.

Things I miss about Cairo:

The call to prayer
Fresh-squeezed juice
Shisha
Being able to find food at 2:30am
Arabic
26 July St.
the Party Bus
Sunset over the Nile
Setting my own cab fare
Koshery
Omar [and his driving], Ziko [and the Italian we would speak], Sherio [and his endless knowledge] and Lyna [and her quiet, contagious smile]
Conservative dress
The night staff at Flamenco
Getting a tan just being outside
Nile FM
Café Vivant/Versailles Palace
The magenta curtains
Syonara
Zamalek
Arab men with green eyes
Abduh
Arabic commercials
Route 66 runs at 2am
The 5-to-1 conversion rate
Dry heat
Sunny blue skies every day
