Amarát Yacoubian once again

I´l look for any excuse just to be able to write a few more lines on the best selling book, turned blockbuster movie, Yacoubian building. The very good AP reporter Nadia Abou el-Magd wrote a piece in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday. Nothing new really for the hardcore Yaqoubian fans, but the people of the Bay area, can look forward to an interesting article on a modern Cairo landmark, who´s rapidly is becoming as cherished to the cairenes, as the lovely Golden gate is to the people of the Bay(perhaps a slight exaggeration on my part). The writer also genourously gives us an extra treat with a link, that i didn´t see before on the movie. You can find it here.

My earlier postings on Yacoubiyan is here and here

It´s been a very busy week, and a very rewarding friday, with a lecture by a highly esteemed academic, who proved to be just as good, as a lecturer and in person, as he´s in writing(not always the case). My posting has been somewhat light in the last couple of days, hopefully this will change soon!
