You Know You're in Cairo When...#4


It takes a village to raise a multi-level apartment building.
As this photo depicts, one man heaves the bricks down, another drops one brick at a time down the slide, another "catches" the bricks and carts them over to the building site. You also see another perched atop it all to "supervise". What you aren't able to see from this picture is the 15 other men standing around as additional "oversight", picking their noses or smoking, and throwing in a directive (and of course, constructive!) comment or two at the three who are actually engaged in any semblance of work.
