Cairo 2005
17 year-old girl, one summer, a city of 20 million, and an intensive Arabic program at the American University in Cairo. Cairo...according to Fodor's "is a city with a deeply human touch, unique among the megalopolises of the world. Gregarious and fatalistic, Cairenes give this city its warmth...there is hardly a superlative too vast to capture the epic scale...the chaotic rhythm will enforce this impression, threatening to overwhelm you." Well, I'm EXCITED.

Dad here. Are you sure this isn't where all the surplus Hingham GALs trophies end up?
These are called Shisha's. Or the hubbly bubbly. When I was at Khan El Kalili last year I had the opportunity to smoke the apple flavored tobacco. Pretty good, and I am not a smoker in the least.
Ms Roth, Amirah and Dad--
Okay, so hookahs, sheesha, hubbly bubblies. That was a possibility.
They looked like they could be sheeshas, but they looked too small. Or like candle holders. Or flower vases.
And I have never, will never smoke them either. People either adore them (even buying them to take home) or say they give you headaches.
