Tonight was strange. I just happened to meet several Middle-Easterners.
I met two guys from Bangladesh in a pub I went to and spent the evening chatting to them. They were very nice and chatty.
But then when I got into a taxi back to the hostel, it turned out that the driver was from Cairo - Yay! I love Egypt (as most of you know) so I was chatting all about it and when I got to the hostel, he wouldn't take any money from me! Sweet! Free taxi ride and he also said that any time I went back to Cairo I could stay with his family. Love it!
Then I was hungry and went into the little deli/grocery store beside the hostel and the cashier guy was from Yemen... and I was all like "No way! I was going to go and work in Yemen!" and he's now determined to teach me Arabic so I can go and teach English in Yemen and stay with his family. This city is completely insane. And fabulous.
Also, today I bought a necklace in Tiffany's. Far too expensive; but wonderful nonetheless :)
Oh yeah and I got offered a green card from an Indian taxi driver who said we could get married if I wanted a green card. Nice.

Haha! Sounds like you're having a VERY interesting time! I must admitt though, if I had the choice of marrying a taxi driver or going to tiffany's and buying a necklace then i think i'd go to tiffany's!! Although I'm sure you'd have a great life married to the taxi driver. Maybe he wouldn't mind if you went to Yemen every now and again to teach english!!

Hey hun,
Sorry i never made it to your going away. It was a mates birthday that night. I had no credit to text you back. Sounds like you are having a ball! Im dying to go NYC just for Tiffneys alone! Something to do with my small obession with Audrey Hepburn! Well keep in touch hun with all the stories.
These stories conjure up an image of you as that little kid with plaits who's always licking a lolly and goes skipping up to people and says,
"Hi. Whatch doin?"
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Ok I love ya bye bye!"
