Great photos!!! And yeah its very sad to see whats happening… take care..
Thanks Bernie!
Jaime, you’ve done a great job of capturing so many moments up close — do keep listening to your gut and stay safe! Seeing the image with the fire and knowing how quickly that could have turned into a scary and dangerous situation makes me concerned for you (and everyone’s safety, of course, but I know YOU). Be safe *HUGS*
Thanks Heather, yes of course I will keep following my gut… it’s crazy times here but it’s safer than people imagine. Huge HUG back.
It really is amazing that you are witnessing this time in history.

I know Kent sometimes I can’t even believe it.
Incredible timing that you have been there during this time. I was there a couple days after the second riots in October 2011 but you have really been in the thick of it. I’m enjoying your posts.
Thanks Mark, yeah the timing I’ve had to actually be in Egypt during these times is crazy.
It’s so refreshing to see a true first-hand account of what’s going on in Egypt. I don’t trust Western media’s world view…simply because they spin things into something that’s farfetched for hype OR to make it seem like other places in the developing world sucks.
Continue to trust your instincts about your safety as you seem to be doing 🙂

Glad I can provide you with true 1st-hand account on what is happening here. I too don’t trust the Western media and trust it less & less every day especially after witnessing so many key moments here in Cairo and seeing how they report on it. Either way I will continue to trust my instinct and staying safe of the time I have left here in Cairo.
Should be very careful in these countries, 2 years ago i had terrible experience in bangkok while i was plannig to pass through the red shirts demonstrators , the army came and killed about 100 people and wounded more then a thousand, all happened while i was there and i was just a tourist .
That’s crazy that you were right there when that happened in BKK I remember hearing about that. Even though I know things get out of control here I’m happy the police tries it’s best to not have any casualties here. Thanks Hakan, I will continue to be careful.
I bet those Guy Fawkes masks are really creepy on

They actually look so cool on Hogga, especially when it’s a huge crowd and you can see that face in it. That face has such a powerful in meaning for any revolution. It’s a face of change and against a government.
Looking at these photos makes me say, yours are way better than CNN or BBC. Keep safe Jaime and hugs! 🙂
Oh wow… thanks so much!
You’ve really captured this time in Cairo, great photos! I love your blog! Very honest stories..just read the chicken bus one haha.
Oh wow thank you so much Veronica & I am so happy you love my blog. I’m laughing at the thought of you reading that post… ah it’s a crazy one and to this day still my most popular one.
What a great way to document a revolution. Glad to read about how you helped support Cairo. Thanks for posting.
