A glimpse into my life: buying an Egyptian bathing suit and trying it out, taking a Russian ballet class, seeing mummies in the Graeco-Roman museum, transportation via tuk-tuk and taxi (the old Soviet-made Lada vehicles), going to an old incense store, an outdoor market, visiting the catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Latin Cemetery,  at the War Museum in Alamein, a vintage coffee shop, the Alexandria Opera House, the Russian Center: the Alexandria-St Petersburg art exhibit, making my first bliny (Russian pancake); and walking along the corniche with my DIY (do it yourself) parasol!
