Day 169

July 7^th

Today was a much more low-key than Sunday as I feel into the same routine. I went into work got some good work done and procrastinated a lot. Really need to stop that as time is starting to run low. Afterwards, I worked out, got some food, and then had a similar experience with the elevator as a few days ago. This time I waiting by myself, then a Egyptian man came over and was waiting too. The elevator was not coming so the doorman came over and fixed the problem. Next, a Egyptian lady came over, who was pretty dolled up, and either not Muslim, or not orthodox as she was wearing make-up, no hijab, capri’s, and high-heels. The doorman, Hossan, was standing next to me, and indicated to go over to the elevator, which wasn’t there yet. I looked at him questioningly. However, he gave me a reassuring look and sure enough the elevator came. So I got in, and held the door open for the other two, but instead of climbing in, they just stared at the other elevator. I wasn’t sure if they were giving me a special privilege of riding my own elevator or if they simply refused to ride with a foreigner. Either way I didn’t like it.

Also, to anyone who actually reads this blog, let me again apologize for the grammar, spelling and complete lack of proofreading. As you can probably tell, I don't even try.
