ETERNAL CITY
Back in Cairo two decades later aiming to actualize impressions of youth. The megacity feels as amazing as it used to, even more. Its population has doubled since then, about 26 million souls today, as probably has the part under the poverty line. The evident risk of revolt seems lesser against a ubiquitous and impressive police display that safeguards the national enterprise par excellence: massive tourism. But what should be good news in the handcraft quarters of Old Cairo seems the opposite due to the Made in China factor. However, despite the ruined buildings and rundown workshops, the obsolete machinery and so much deflated youth with the head in Europe, there is always desire around here for getting together in the evening among tea seeping and a recurrent background issue: the pride of a city so used to persists along the centuries, even against the worst odds.
