Good Ol' Egypt

i had the best experience seeing the efficiency of the egyptian police system.
my moms wallet got snatched - with my driver's lisence in it. so i had to go file a report and make 3 copies of it.
the brilliance of the Egyptian government is that police stations have no copmuters - so making 3 copies involved a poor man writing them 3 times and getting them signed by half a dozen people 3 times!
funny - we spend 1 billion over some museum in fayoum ( like how many people set foot in fayoum??) but we have no computers in police stations
speaking of driver's lisence - i got into this discussion with leila. it is a driver's lisence or a driving lisence?!they both make sense to me
