Egyptian Home Life

After currecy exchange, you are immersed in modern day Egypt.  

First, is a glimpse at home life...in a village home and a Cairo Apartment.

This is the village home.

Maya checked out what the kids watch...

 

...and then danced with her sister to Egyptian music.

 

Bella checked out the backpacks of her Egyptian counter-parts.

Hmm...this doesn't look like my school stuff.

Then they started to get ready for a country dinner.

(Nice way to use your legs Maya!)

Looks like they were having some eggs.

 

Maya's got the bowls.

The oven was outside.

So Bella cooked some carrots.

 

Careful baby...it's hot!

After dinner they said hello to the family's donkey.  

Maybe it was a burro?

 

what's the difference between a donkey and a burro, anyway?

Well...whatever it was was, the girls loaded it up...

...and headed to town to meet...

 

these two kids who live in an apartment in Cairo.

First stop...back packs.  Mom...something looks weird here...

Yes honey...you're right...I guess they call him Magic Bay there...but why it's not Magic BOY, I'm not quite sure.  

Maybe it was a typo.

But this one really confused me...

 

???  Any ideas?

Seriously...feel free to comment...I'm totally stumped?

 

Now, unfortunately there was a um...let's say...grumpy family inside, so I only got a picture of the outside of the city apartment. 

The girls were talking about going shopping...I mean, as long as we were in the big city, may as well, right?
