School

The children in Egypt have finally gone back to school today. The government has been concerned about swine flu becoming an epidemic, so they've kept all schools except mine closed until today. Since the government schools here often have at around sixty students in a classroom, and since Egypt is not the most hygienic country, I understand why the government took the measures that it did. But now schools are back in session, which means lots of traffic in the mornings, and boys in the streets making trouble and harassing the girls. I'm not very excited about the start of the Egyptian school year.
