Egypt - quite an amazing country!

You can smell the incredibly long and rich history everywhere. But it's also absolutely chaotic - never assume anything when in Egypt.

In many ways Egypt reminded me of India which people from India and Egypt would probably strongly reject yet many times I thought I was in India until I realized it's Egypt this time (maybe because it was so much different from Dubai and Bahrain).

And traffic is the worst I've ever seen, India and Brazil are a piece of cake in comparison. Out of three attempts of driving between offices and the city (usually a 20min trip) we ended up three times in 2+ hours of "stop and no-go" traffic.

Definitely worth a longer (tourism) trip but also definitely requires some planning for not being totally ripped off when in the country.

As usual I had a pretty good timing: while I was out of country Seattle was "battered" by heavy rains, flooding and mud slides (I successfully did the same move last year when we had the big flooding)...
