The energy of Cairo is a shock to the system after St. Petersburg. In the past few weeks, I'd forgotten what noise, chaos, and energy were like. Cairo seems like the most open city on the planet after the past couple of weeks in Russia. You can buy almost anything and at any time of the day. There are no rules and people stopping you, only people giving you a price and a bargaining point. It's a wonderful sound and sight!
