Shower Any one?

With Ramadan right around the corner I can't help but get excited about the new things I'm going to experience in Egypt. I've been here for over a month, am finally starting to feel comfortable getting around, started my Arabic lessons with my wonderful friend Luli and am getting serious amounts of work done at SilverKey. Since I've been here SilverKey has always been central to my Cairesian experience. Many hours have been spent there working, many games of guitar hero played and now with the Wii a whole new realm of Wii duck hunt and boxing. But today SilverKey has taken a new place in my heart. After two and a half days without water due to a badly broken water pump, the apartment has a noticeable stench due to my and Chris's lack of showering. This morning, upon waking up and finding again no water, I had no choice. I packed my towel and soap, went to the office and took my shower. It was perhaps the best shower of all time. Not only was it refreshing and clean, but it reminded me that water pressure still exists in the universe. I've grown used to the dribble we call a shower over the past weeks. With this new found showering capability, i might be showering at work more often. Watch out!!

This weekend was unbelievable. Night one was the famed Black and White party, hosted by Komal and Harrison. My first formal Black Tie event here in Cairo, I finally had a chance to wear my suit. The party itself was a huge success with 30 or more guests in full attire. I had a wonderful time, met a ton of new people and made it home sometime just after sunrise.

At the party with Chris, Karim, Manoj and Kenny. Keepin' it real.

I'm obviously smooth with the ladies, can't you tell?
