So I am heading out of Egypt for the first time in six weeks. After getting my resident Visa, I am off to Turkey and Greece. Tonight I will be heading to Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) the capital of East Rome, the Byzantine Empire and the Ottomans, and now one of the largest cities in Europe. Very important place. I will be there for three days, followed by a trip to Athens for another three days. I will return to Cairo after Eid-el-Fatr (the break fast holiday for Muslims at the end of Ramadan) holiday.

Have a great week/weekend!
