- The truth behind Maspero, i mean it physically. i saw a popular (mante2a sha3bya) with a ramshackle buildings. Maspero, the large Downtown Cairo building near Tahrir Square that houses the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (basically, state TV and radio). Maspero hides goats, cattles and chickens. You can smell the feces from a distance. Is that Maspero we know !, actually it is .
- While waiting for someone at Maspero square holding a book a Conscript asked me "what is this book about ?", at first i didn`t reply but he insisted so i replied "this book is called "100 years of solitude"* actually it is a political novel talking about the war between liberals and Conservatives", he said "mmm, i'm graduated from an industrial school but i like reading, i read about biology and chemistry as well", so why you didn't enrolled to a secondary school ?, some circumstances but i'm looking forward to find a good job after finishing my period and insha Allah i will read. You knew, i regard my self as "Abbas el Aqqad" he was not educated but he was a scientist. I see the officer reading a book every day, my reading frenzy make me stand behind him hoping to read a bunch of statements to satisfy my passion. Why you can't read a book while standing doing nothing or at your leisure time?, books and newspapers are banned in order to be intellectually controlled easily.
* The novel contains many many many details than i said, and here is a link to read about it, it is worth reading indeed.
