The view from where I stay in Cairo, now on the street outside... notice the mix of Khedive, Art Deco, Loos and Gropius-like, neo-baroque and Nasserist Soviet-style buildings here and there... the Art Deco building that now hosts the Qatar National Bank apparently once had a sculpture on the facade but apparently it has been removed (I stay just above the remainders of the sculpture; hm, suddenly I realise I have a bank under me, that might open some perspectives).. notice the huge well-maintained church.. and finally, a few hundred meters away from me, the best glasses (spectacles) repairer in the world.. he can repair any damages set of glasses that make other opticians, in Amsterdam, Dubai, Paris, Teheran, desperate, and I know this from experience.. his name is Netharat Al Bouhi, just off the Mohammed Naguib Metro station, officially on Mohammed Farid street.. he repairs anything, with just a hot flame and a screwdriver.. and then leaves you speechless by charting 3 or 4 Egyptian pound or so... about one dollar.... ok, what he does does not require a lot of material.. but he does it perfectly.. and the repair still lasts after three years
