Hack in Zamalek
- olegp 18y agoWhat's the view like from there? Can you see the Nile?
- phillygirl 18y agoHa! I went to the American University of Cairo for a semester. It's crazy to think of Hackers in Zamalek, but where there's a will (and an internet connection), there's a way. Zamalek only has a Nile view if you are in a tower or, well, on the Nile. And the Nile is pretty "Monet"- great from afar, but up close, crude, smelly and bug-infested. One of my favorite newsbites from time in country was when shortly after H5N1 (Bird Flu) was discovered up river (geographically South) a poultry merchant was ordered to kill his flock. How did he choose to do this? Oh, by drowning them in the country's major water supply.
