I have never experienced duration like I did in that week in Cairo.
It felt like a year yet as fast as a shutter release a split of a second.
This image comes back to me like one from a dream:
That man with one eye whom I have met twice in the streets while walking from Tahrir Square to the hotel.
He was very calm and he repeated twice the same sentence: ” Go back home, you will die here”

No use to stay here anymore, the city is too aggressive and photography is literally prohibited now.
Back to the airport; arrested twice_ first time searched and interrogated for two hours, second time had to pay my way out_
On the day before We tried to leave Cairo towards the south to Luxor and Aswan.
Went to the train station and we were told that trains are still not running until it was announced other wise.
Back to the hotel by metro then walking _ they started arresting anyone with a camera _ impossible to take pictures on the streets.
Arrived today, big demonstration planned at noon.
No internet
No telephones
