You can never fit enough people on a motorcycle

I believe it is something of an incredible sport in Egypt, to see exactly how many brave people can fit on a motorbike.

Should I stay or should I go? You decide!

Living in Egypt, you learn to navigate choices. You learn that really, at bottom, there is a choice behind everything we do. In Egypt, the message is somehow more explicit than elsewhere...

Lighting BOTH red and green at the same time.

Immense faith things will all work out

Every time a car comes by in
the next lane, those in this position shout this out and try to duck inside the crowded bus

Innovation is everywhere.

Anything you can imagine is possible. See how the guy below adapted his car and converted it into his very own Jeep!

Saying "I love you" with your car horn

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.
