Just as much a wonder of the world as the Pyramids, IMHO.
Wrong Way
one way street you say?
I don’t see any one coming
honk once, flash twice, go
There are a handful of traffic lights in Cairo. They are ignored by everybody including the traffic cops.

follow recipe

from dusk till the dawn
it is dark and I can’t see
headlights? nah, I’m fine
