Today, on my way to a coffeeshop, I passed two Egyptian girls and a boy around 8 or 9 years old. The boy was carrying a fake AK-47 (at least I assume it was fake, given its lurid red and orange painted body). That in itself would be troubling enough, but another element added an extra dose of surrealism to the moment: each of the children were cheerfully waving little McDonald’s flags adorned with a picture of Grimace (that fuzzy purple character) on one side. How disturbing and bizarre.

In other news, as I’ve mentioned in earlier posts, I’m going to resume traveling at the end of this month– probably around the 23rd or so. After then, I plan to regularly post about my adventures around the Middle East, so I hope you’ll return to this blog often!
