Default Article in today's New York Times about Cairo

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/wo...=1&oref=slogin

A City Where You Can't Hear Yourself Scream

The article is mostly about noise in Cairo, but it also mentions street weddings, ever-present sound of dance music in the streets. And riots 11 people killed in food lines in the past 6 weeks--yikes. I'm going for the first time at the end of June but with Morocco's group so I am sure I will be well looked after. Even so it sounds like it is overwhelming for the senses.
