- since I arrived from Greece I changed a bit the relation towards Cairo. I cant wear the long skirts and throusers any more - its too hot. So I go out in summer dresses. The problem is that it attracts too much attention on the street. - lunch at French Institute and coffee in the park / do crochet - send a mail to Hana and Yordanka to put them in contact about the Iraki refugee child stipend - sent an email to Aalam cairian friend of Dubravka to get more info about Garbage City. He directed me to his friend Ermin artist who is living in Cairo - look information about zabbaleen - they are mostly christian coptics imigrated to cairo 50 years ago - dedicated to collect garbage - muslims consider this kind of work dirty and under honour. They recycle 75% of quantity they collect - there is a Recycle Factory in the Garbage City neighborhood where they are living and bringing garbage. There is a biggest Christian Church there Cave Church - good excuse if want to visit the neigbourhood. - 16h caligraphy lesson
-
- - in the evening I go to greek club - there is gathering because Maya is leaving tomorrow - next to me sits the girl whose name is Nermine - she tells me that my bag looks like zabbaleen - in the course of the conversation we find out that she was the one I woas directed to by Aalam. Studio: - finish terrae collage - upload
