The Streets of Cairo Egypt are Insane!

what up what up we are here in Cairo Cairo Egypt one of the largest cities in Africa oh a lot of movement and that's one thing about this city man it's huge very active I just got here today uh actually in the morning like around two o'clock in the morning took a nap recharged you know heading out the get settled in run some errands and uh but let me start off with a few fun facts so again one of the largest cities I think the metropolitan area consists of 22 23 million people no 21 to 22. around 22. we'll just say that and then one thing uh that I want to point out is yeah these videos are gonna be interesting because the language here is uh Arabic and I don't speak Arabic at all I pretty much know two words one Salam I think that's the greeting like hello and then uh which is thank you so hopefully those two I think they will I think those two uh words those two phrases will get me through but uh here goes some of the vibes I already got my phone plan when I was at the airport which was around it was interesting the cheapest plant they had at least at the airport consisted of 20 gigs of Internet you know usually you know most plants most places you go to they have plans for 500 megabytes one gig two gear the lowest they had was 20 gigs and it was uh 310 Egyptian pounds which is their currency the Egyptian pound and the exchange rate when I checked yesterday or today was around 19 Egyptian pounds to one US dollar so I'm gonna just to make things easier I'm just gonna Round Up Round Up to 20. so that phone plan was around 300 and something Egyptian pounds so roughly 15 dollars fifteen dollars for about 20 years of Internet there's some talk text and all that good stuff and I forgot to mention uh it's pretty hot I'm already sweating holding this camera let me see if I can show you uh I don't know if you can see it when I'm already sweating [Music] I'm gonna grab some grub right now and then we'll get along with this day and walk in there and show you the walk there once we uh get past this I think I have to take a left up here and we'll see how the filming goes because uh totally different culture uh oh traffic jam hold on guys totally different culture so I'll try to make it work yeah this is the part where I think I'ma just let the camera run for a little bit sometimes I like to talk as I walk and film and I'm explaining to you why right here let me get past this uh so one thing I've noticed is that you know I get different Vibes when I'm walking and filming depending on if I'm talking or not so if I'm just walking filming and not saying anything yeah I don't know maybe from the outside looking in it looks seems a little suspicious just just waving the camera around whereas from walking filming and talking it's like okay he's documenting something hey I think I said that right there I said right guys I'm gonna get it right but uh whereas when I'm walking and talking and filming it doesn't seem that suspicious it doesn't seem like I'm trying to hide anything you can be secretive that's why I like the Rambo during these videos because I have situations where I wouldn't talk about filming people oh camera and say certain things oh let me get on with it I'm gonna let him go and people will say certain things whereas uh whereas where I'm speaking to the camera and she's doing my own thing the vibe is uh gotta be careful cars coming from everywhere okay he's going that way kind of forgot where I left off you got to get the point I prefer to talk over the videos as I walk that's why I tend to ramble a lot so if I'm rambling you know why harder than it looks oh all right man we got pobos up here put the camera down for a second so uh we're gonna head somewhere else oh shout out to her yeah I'm gonna wait for that red light all right here we go all right okay so I may head to another Nike store but first we're gonna keep this going head to an observery deck the grab some views of Egypt because are you seeing it our views from the ground I want you guys to see views from up top so you can see the vastness of this place all right so we're gonna walk there and uh give me one second and every now and then I'll break the bring the camera up and show you guys different parts of the city here we go guys I don't see a bridge crosswalk we're gonna have to make our way great thing is it's a winway so we'll see oh he got close all right let's do it okay I'm gonna walk with him [Music] come on all right keep it going let me uh review all right we got one more let me uh go this way oh don't leave me oh he left me one more one more to go right here all right we made it guys all right keep it moving I got one more to go I don't know how this is gonna work I could debow myself through I was hoping there'll be a bridge but uh like him but I don't want to go through that because I don't want to end up in a hospital overseas yeah I don't know I'm a I think I'm walking over here where there are other people and uh watch them first then come behind them and then one second dude we don't do do what I did last time thank you oh Mark with these ladies right here [Music] all right let me switch sides we gotta do

okay I'll get in the Sun so the part of the knowledge I showed you earlier I think it was this slip right over there but then it goes out to a larger area goes the other side this is where we came from we came from somewhere over there because I remember walking down this way Crossing that so that's where we came from future videos we're gonna be on the other side we're going to cross this and go to the other side for right now we're gonna chill over here I'll be the plan right now grab some grub and then while I'm doing that I'm gonna see if there is a Nike store another Nike store can go to to grab some new socks I need them badly and then lastly we'll finish off with the groceries now keep in mind I don't know how it's going to be inside the supermarket yeah so but I do want to film some of the snacks they have here I'm sure they're going to be very unique and different the snacks and candies and drinks so I'll try to do that but uh let's grab something to eat first I hear this all day all night I heard it last night a lot I don't know uh that's the call to prayer if I guess it is maybe not let me know in the comment section yeah I think I just turned it off I just made it to the restaurant and now it's right in front of us uh I could sit over there into the windows I'm Gonna Keep it I'm gonna stay over here let me keep it light for right now got the shawarma dipping sauce salad give me one second yeah does it come with that like red okay just ordered a side of hummus so that's gonna come but the next few videos definitely gonna try some traditional Egyptian food I have one in mine but I'm gonna wait till I go downtown because I was looking online and I think that's for many of the um more local restaurants are located because the area I'm at right now it seems like more International they got Thai spots Italian spots so right now the place in my right now I think is like Lebanese influence but in future videos we're gonna check out some more Egyptian foods but I'm gonna kill this also the hummus that's coming and we're gonna head to the grocery store and check out some of the prices there and then end it here goes the hummus right here pita bread you can tell the price in a second all right last stop should be the supermarket right here that's nearby in the corner where you see the green signs ooh long day long day hot sweaty day oh yeah my man got his groceries already I need to get mine it's around four Thirty ish two so probably gonna be packed in here foreign let's get inside here yeah one of those days what about I think I forgot to mention um the amount I paid at the restaurant so the final price included a 12 service fee and also um that text but 14 of that text what I think is just another word for sales tax another term for sales tax so an extra 26 percent excuse me ma'am I'm tired right now extra 26 percent and so the total came up to 269 and I'll put the price on on the screen in dollars and then uh the total for the then the total for the groceries came up to 174. and so when it comes to groceries I just got some napkins detergent orange juice guava juice and then I got like some Sour Patch candy uh bags of candy
