Cairo Traffic



I have been assured that you have to pass a test and get a license to drive in Cairo. But, from the looks of the traffic, I find that hard to believe. People don't appear to obey any traffic rules. So crossing the super crowded streets on foot, when people don't even use lanes, is a challenge. It's like human frogger. But I am slowly developing the skill of walking like an Egyptian. When I feel like I can't I find an Egyptian to use as a human shield. They don't seem to mind. But I think crossing the street is one of my favorite parts of life in Egypt.

Aren't the roads in Mexico and guatemala the same?
Well, maybe they have lanes. I don't remember.
