I am working in Kabul and all the Afghans wear the vest. Mostly because the Punjabi suits don't have pockets. I wear the black shirt, jeans vest thing because well it stays clean. I am out in the field everyday. It is usally three or four days between showers and also it is harder to pick pocket them. The sad thing is though I am stuck in Hijab most days as well so it can get toasty.

yeah, this was the best photo i could find for now. To the left is upperhill, where i'm at... although its not in the photo. Downtown is flat, but really more like at the bottom of all the hills. Of course this is how most cities have been historically structured, with the rich people on top of the hills and the poor at the bottom, industry along the river, and the central business district at the center. Nairobi is a classic example of all this.

While I have no doubt you're telling the truth about all of this, the picture really looks completely flat except for the way background. Perhaps it doesn't quite do it justice?

Well, the only thing that matters it that you dress modestly. The majority of people in the Mideast and North Africa wear the same style of clothing as found in the US and Europe - polos, tshirts, jeans, khakis, etc. I just advise that you do not wear shorts, and for women to not expose shoulders/cleavage. In very conservative areas (such as in very poor neighborhoods) women should have no skin above the elbow, so 3/4 or long sleeves are better. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how you dress. Sometimes denim is a little hot during the day, but at night it gets very cold. Also, keep in mind that the 'mid east' has lots of different temperatures. If you go to Jordan, for example, dress like you are going to Italy, as the climate is identical - there are no deserts, just lots of green grass and cypress trees. If you are a tourist planning to do lots of shopping, carrying cameras etc, a simple backback/purse/or shoulder bag will meet all your needs just fine. And unless you are laying on the beach, no need for sunsceen etc. And bottled water is available every 5 feet, so no need for a thermos or special equipment. Going to Cairo requires about as much special equipment as going to New York or Cleveland. Have fun!

So what exactly do you suggest one wears when they go to the Middle East?

Brilliant! And funny as hell. It is always interesting to me how various subcultures develop a 'uniform'. your image of Pennsylvanians in Cairo donning khaki safari vests reminds me of the people i see at Mt.Airy forest. I take my dog there sometimes to run around on the hiking trails and I always see these very urbane people who are equipped for the Appalachian trail. They always have sunglasses and special hats and khaki shorts. My favorites are the people with the long-distance trekking sticks that look like ski poles. Their car is 300 yards away and we are in the inner city. What is it with these people?

Very good assessment of New Cairo. Thank you. There is no good source of information on New Cairo, so your article was very helpful.

good post. It seems as if the upper classes in some developing countries (I've noticed this trend in a few dev. countries) are running away from the "masses" they are moving out of the city or they are moving into gated compounds.

Everyone should get the opportunity to see these pyramids. I know folks who haven't been further than one city block from their home. Sad really. Enjoy the sights.

Are you planning to come back to Cincinnti? It sounds that your trip in Africa is going to an end. How was that? Was it succesful to make an interview and take a photograph so that you could collect various information and interpret them? Is the security problem good?

Dude, if you come back with, like, 40 wives, that'd be sweet.

Glad to hear that Africa's going well. What have I been up to? Um... I got a haircut today. It's a good haircut. Then I sat on my couch for a while. So far, so good.

In other news, I sent my mom this link, so if she can figure out how to use it, she'll also be keeping tabs on you. Thought you'd like to know.

sorry
