Music and poetry is everywhere, even in honking your car |
In Cairo, the roadways are the very pulse of the city and are as musical as the rest of Egypt.
Well, fair enough. On the roadways here, the drivers have their own system of messages conveyed just through the beats of the car horn.
If you beat it out to: ba-ha-bak (I love you), then you are saying thank you to the car ahead of you for being nice, maybe letting you pass. There is also a wedding march that echoes across Cairo streets from throngs of cars every weekend from all of the regular wedding festivities.
