Occasionally I learn a new arabic word that is so mumtaz (excellent) that I must share it you. This week's word is shib-shib ( شبشب ) A shib-shib is a sandal with an open toe and back (like my Jesus sandals). I love this word because it's so fun to say... SHIB-SHIB!!
I've also made up a Sarabic dictionary (see below). I'll be updating it as I learn new words, and I've got a link to it on the right side of the page for ease of use.
One last administrative note- I've added some pictures to my webshots pages- pictures from the Pyramids at Saqqara, some from rural Giza and a new album called "Cairo from a Bus". They're not the best pictures, and often have glare from the windows, but they do show what the city looks like outside of the monuments and museums. You can find the pictures here http://community.webshots.com/user/1frmseattle , and there is also a permanent link on the right side of the page.
