getting the message across. You don’t have to read Arabic (or at all) to understand this warning:

Cleopatra Cigaretta pack warningMarlboro Cigartte pack warning in Egypt


No, I don’t smoke - these packs just caught my eye in the store the other day. Never have I regretted not having a camera phone more. Then I noticed that the street was littered with empty cigarette packs. Yes - I picked up trash for you guys, just so I could scan it and show it to you here. What I wouldn’t do for you.

And judging by how many packs there were to choose from, I’m guessing that this warning isn’t working.

There are many things about living in Egypt that are frustrating - like when the water pressure is too low to shower for three days straight or having a birthday card that was send from the US two weeks ago never show up (thanks Mr. Postman) But then there are things like the above that just make me laugh. And lately I’ve been seeing many such things. So stay tuned…
