...at the McDonald's by the Nile overlooking the felucca harbor and ancient ruins (constructed by Thutmose III) in the background.

I couldn't resist getting darkmoon to snap a photo, great juxtaposition of 3000 years of human technological development.

Elaborate?

I'm not going to see too much bad about a source for 1) free wifi, 2) water that doesn't give you bloody diarrhea if you drink it and 3) relatively high-paying jobs in a Third World city.

I'd find it distressing if Aswan were covered with them, but I don't think one McDonald's in a city of 1.2 million is that objectionable.

It was just my way of saying "Dude. Whoa. Kinda strange to think about." I didn't intend the "that's stupid/fucked up" implications of the word.

Gotcha, that's why I wanted clarification. :)

You just blew my fucking mind.

How long is this whirlwind tour of the globe going to last?



PS- If you see Zahi Hawas while you're there, punch him in the face and tell him Tzadkiel says hi.

I've been back since the 11th, just intermittently posting some photos now and then.
