12:20
A very nice view of us (Me, Sarah, Wael and Ahmed) in front of the hotel We were dying out of hunger. We stood in front of the hotel wondering which way to go, so we kinda chose a path and decided from that path we'd like to reach "Pizza Hut"- we were so innocent at that time :)

Another interesting view of a group of guys, we foolishly asked for directions. They were like 10 none of them agreed on a common direction to follow. Ahmed got intimidated by one of the guys to follow the right direction

So we followed that direction-again we were very innocent- we reached the Nile or (el ba7r) -as the cairian people call it- and turned right as suggested, we walked and walked till luckily we reached a pharmacy. We bought some stuff and inquired where's "Pizza Hut"?. We definitly got the answer we weren't expecting or more precisely didn't want to hear.. The pharmacist said: "Pizza Hut is in the opposite direction, it's very far..are u thinking of walking that distance?"

We had no choice but to double back all the distance we just walked, remember we were so hungry, we walked and walked till we started doubting we'll ever see that imaginary "Pizza Hut". Then thru some trees we saw the shimmering lights of "Pizza Hut", it was a relief seeing that sign :)
Now the four of us started having a change of heart, "Let's eat at MacDonalds instead, pizza will take time" Don't worry people, Mac is right around the corner- we r not that foolish besides we were now so exhausted from walking such a distance

1:00
I started placing an order.."3 Big tasty + 1 Big Mac and 3 Orange Juices + 1 Coke, Please" -btw don't order orange juice from Mac the best is at Cilantro- we decided to take it take away it was getting late and I forgot to mention that Ahmed got a homework to do, which he reminded us all thru that distance :).

The order took quite some time, then I made my biggest mistake of holding the drinks, you know this grey pack where the four drinks are held together, yes that's the one. We went back all that distance, this time we were hungry+tired+carring stuff and the stuff made noises..

My group were holding the sandwiches..that was ok. We all ordered orange except for Wael, he had to drink coke at 1AM. The ice in the coke made that bizarre rhythm as I walked with the pack, I started giving Wael a hard time cos he ordered a coke..that was very funny. He started giving me a hard time by telling me to be careful not to melt the ice!!.

At around 2:00
We managed to return to the hotel, safe and sound. Sarah & I sitting on the floor in our room, eating the Mac meal with some songs in the background on TV.

I had the best time on that trip, got to know my co-workers more, hope I can repeat it again soon.
