Quotable Quotes
I feel like I should do a quick write-up on some quotable quotes (or maybe not so quotable ones) that have been repeated all too often during my journeys here.
1) "Where are you?!"--Said to me by a friend nearly every time I log onto AIM or any sort of messenger.
2) "It's the air conditioning."--Apparently, Middle Easterners and North Africans like to blame air conditioning for almost every health problem they face. Sniffles? It's the air conditioning. Congested? The air conditioning. Don't sleep well? Probably the air conditioning. Tired? The air conditioning...
And it goes on and on. Dammit. I like my air conditioning. Frankly, I think it's just because it's so darn expensive here, and they want to rationalize not using it.
3) "No Problem"--Of course, this refers to Egypt and my post on this subject. Though I too now say it with an infuriating amount of frequency (and I can't shake off the habit of throwing in a bit of an Egyptian/English accent).
Well, that's a wrap for now. But those seem to be the main overarching themes of this trip. Geography, AC (or the lack thereof--99.9% of the time), and "No problems..." (riiiight)
I hope everyone has an easy fast, Shana Tova, Chatima Tova, and Hag Sameach!

yeah, sorry about that (replying to your comment). my school put some fear in me. and unlike your choices for internet handles, mine are more than a little obvious.
you could always just get an account...but you'd need to have a few other people to read, b/c I haven't been writing much of anything.
Hehe...It's the air conditioning!
