Old Cairo. Pointing at items on some cart, I had two small sandwiches for about 50 cents, and was about to order tea for 32 cents. In this very poor alley, no one spoke English, but a couple people did say, "Welcome!" It's safe to say Cairenes above a certain class don't stray in here, much less a foreigner, but show me an alley anywhere and I'll just have to walk in. Seeing me sitting by myself, a one-eyed fellow motioned for me to come sit with him and everybody else, so I did.
