Sitting in a cafe in Cairo, the melody of an oud is on the speakers in the background and the walls covered in black and white photos of the earlier days of Egypt. A couple of women behind me are ordering food in Arabic, asking for two cups of coffee, some water and il-cupcake, please. The guy next to me is one the phone, talking in Arabic as well. The conversation ends with I love you. Later alligator, insha'allah. Hey there globalization, I think to myself and return to my readings.
