Though many Egyptians live on less than US$1 a day, their willingness to share is continuously on display. Just last night a distressed looking gentleman and his wife received alms from nearly every person in my Metro car. They would scarcely receive a second glance in the Paris Metro or the Buenos Aires Subte. I continue to question the source of this charity; is it faith, basic human kindness, or both?
Though some expatriates I have met have cautioned against using public transportation at night, it remains my preferred mode of transportation. It is through this lens where I get a brief view of Egyptian life, and I want to seize every moment of it.
