Back from Alex

'We break the world, now we repare it.' Got back from Alexandria last night, had a great time walking and chilling by the meditarranean sea. Alexandria is a clean small town and very much like Brighton, Portland and Mombasa, it has a seaside town feel to it, people seem laid back and friendly.Nothing seems to fuss anyone. Kenya and I slept in for hours on end and talked till the birds started singing. we drank so much Turkish coffee and ate sea food. We went to a cafe for dessert on saturday night and sat there till past midnight, we had a German/ Egyptian man worshiping because our skin to him is 'active' apparently he had a Nigerian girlfriend in the past and he loves black woman. Now, now. We had quite a few stalkers, men who would follow us and trying to woo us am sure they were all just hoping we would take them to our hotel room. I wonder why people think girls cant just be on holiday by themselves and not want a man, I got quite put off by the stalking and sometimes we just could not relax and enjoy the sea or weather or walk because we were cautious of some guy following us and suggesting inappropriate things. We generally had a fab time and laughed so hard and walked miles to the point that my ab muscles are stretched. We stayed at Ramsis Hotel which was lovely and had a fantastic view of the sea, on the train back we slept. Met up with Tiffany for dinner at a Syrian restaurant in Mohandiseen. Syrian bread is great, I prefer it to Yemeni bread.... found a new love! Ahmed, Tiffany's Syrian friend invited us to Tea and dessert at his house and that was fun, being exhausted we stayed a for a short while and we all headed home desperate for a shower and sleep.... now back to studying, focus group interviews and thesis work...
