All around us and behind the pyramids Cairo is the most slum-pit you can imagine. loooks like an A-bomb landed on all parts of the city. it has 25 million people. And they all HOUND you like we were their only chance for a meal to buy ridiculous stuff. an they are mostly kids (with parents lurky by). We didn't buy much from them. but I tried to adopt one. here's the bottom of the pyramids, you can see how huge the stones are.
