Random fun times

It is extremely easy to make friends with Egyptians. They are very friendly and helpful, although they sometimes give you bad directions:) Anyway, I always have fun with the man who owns the corner-store next to my building. He is patient with me and my Arabic...sometimes he gets the whole street to help me. Fun times. We also tease each other about Zamalek and Ahly. I'm a fan of the Zamalek team and he's a fan of the Ahly team. So one day after I returned from the soccer stadium I was showing off my Zamalek flag...and as you can see in the picture above, he didn't like it:) Then he said that we should watch the next game together. I said ok, but knew that I wasn't going to actually sit with him in the corner-store all night long. But when the game came I was really bored and decided to watch the game with him. I was late but no big deal...he was just surprised to see me. But when I looked at the cafe next to the store (where he was watching the game)...there were only guys! And then I knew that I wasn't supposed to be there and tried to leave but the store owner wouldn't have it. But I sat next to him and he made sure no one bothered me. When he had to leave to attend his store...he had a delivery boy sit in his seat to further ensure I wasn't bothered. Wow! That was really nice of him. Of course Ahly won and the second goal was beautiful! But it was fun to watch the game with my new friend....the corner-store owner:)
