Wow Ms shanta, om kalthoum and feteeer? Now say that you eat ringa and feseekh and you should get an honoury Egyptian nationality which gives you the right to be tortured and killed without a trial like the rest of us.
Back to your question. I love sitting in the balcony with my friends and drinking mint tea and just chit chatting. Do you know that the name "samar" literally means "chit chatting at night."? That's how much Egyptians and Arabs love talking at night, they invented a word for it! ah wallahi!
By the way what's a nutella feteer? Never tried that.

Nutella feteer = feteer filled with Nutella
And now, with much tooting of horns outside, and ululating, a bride has just been carried upstairs to one of the flats - I spied through the hole in the door - I was tempted to go out and say 'mabrouk' but am in only a vest-top so I thought I better not! Furniture was moved in a few days ago now I know why
I don't know what they'll think when they find out there's no water in the upper flats right now as the pressure is very low.
Fish - bleurgh - no thanks. Sounds like what Vikings eat
This wedding party are making an incredible amount of noise.

That ululating drives me up a WALL!!! Seriously makes me go mental when I hear it. No idea why. But for heaves sakes, it sounds like a war cry. Very irritating.
*ahem*
However... a night in? Love watching movies with the hub and eating some yummy food.

LO I have been practising mine... I seem to just sound like a banshee burning slowly when I go for it It is quite difficult to learn.
But watching a woman teaching you in slow motion is hilarious, she focuses so much and we all stare at her tongue!!! Quite impossible not to laugh
I like Saturday afternoons in the bar with the lads watching the results coming in and chatting about our teams... my fave part of the week.
In general I love Fridays in Al Azhar listening to the Mosques across the City with a cup of Nescafe and not a care in the world
