Cairo and Beyond
In and around Cairo, Egypt
Hi guys!
Most of you know that I'm in Cairo right now on exchange through SFU. (And yes, I realize that I'm STILL in school, but let me assure you, there is light at the end of the tunnel-- Fall 2006). Anyways, after my semester ends, I'm off to take on Europe and hopefully expand on what I didn't see last time. I figure that a travelblog is the best way to keep people updated about what's going on over here. So, without further ado, I welcome you to Cairo and Beyond!
