Write a title here

Today is one of these “I hate Egypt” days. They are a big minority of my stay here but still manage to spice up my life. Now I need to pour my anger out fast before I loose it and melt under the kindness of people.

It all started yesterday when it was one of these springy sandstorm days and unfortunately also one of these days I left freshly washed laundry hang outside and my bedroom window open. After I reached home I only had a chance to realize that the laundry is dusty and needs to be re-washed, some of the pieces were missing and my room was nicely yellow too. “I hate Egypt” continued while I was having a shower today morning. Namely our building has these smart showers which stop providing you with hot water when somebody else in the building uses it. The little Evil on my left shoulder pushes me to find out how to turn off the hot water in the rest of the building while our apartment is having showers. This idea is definitely worth to develop further.
After being illegal for two months because my application for new visa has been rejected two times since February and the rest of the time I was waiting for their response I finally managed to renew my residence today. For ONE f…ng MONTH.

But still. I am looking for a new job and planning to stay for a while.

Hmmm...it seems showers are a big problem all over the world. Mine has the totally opposite problem, it is always "hot" ;).

Anyways how have you been?
Cheers

Yay sandlands! I had similar problem in my studio in Dubai - there was a shortage of water when taking a shower either before or after work. Water only lasted for 3 minutes which taught me to take ultrafast showers.

I'm angry together with you, if that helps!:)

Thanks for supporting guys!

I have been great! Thanks Harman. Been to Egypt 10 months now and enjoying it a lot.

Jou Peep. I am sure 3 minutes shower is the only 3 minute thing you have gotten used to :) I wonder how do know it was exactly 3 minutes.
