I don't know how much time I will have for sightseeing during the daytime, but I am living in Cairo for the summer.  Thus, I will be there before and after Wikimania, but likely will be busy during the day.  Maybe I can get time off on the 20th, but no promises.

Hi everyone,

I have a little problem concerning staying in Egypt after Wikimania: I have guaranteed lodging with a friend of my family who lives in Cairo, but as far as I know she'll be working all day and therefore not available for sightseeing. Now, I am the first to admit that I am the most scatterbrained, absent-minded person ever; I also freely admit that I get lost in supermarkets (even the one I use every week). I really, truly do. I am infamous for turning a street corner and then wondering which way I had come from. Family members place bets on how far I am from my intended destination whenever I go out. Honestly. I am afraid that if I go out alone in Cairo I will get seriously lost.

My point is, are there any Wikimedians thinking of staying on in Cairo/elsewhere in Egypt after Wikimania? And if there is, would they mind having me tag along while sightseeing?

I asked on the Wikimania IRC channel if it was OK to send this e-mail to the list. They said yes, but I apologize if anyone finds it too off-topic. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish to do so.

Happy editing,
