Renovations are interesting here in Egypt. I thought they were removing debris from the flat. Apparently they're bringing up sand. Something to do with ceramic floors. Regardless, an interesting afternoon. 😊

My favourite Egyptian breakfast.
Ful (fava beans), Egyptian bread (like pita but lighter), veggies and a few fries. Price = 50 Egyptian pounds = $1.40 cad
V Cola is Egyptian. No caffeine in this cola and it's tasty. 😊

When a few Canada Post employees in Vancouver started answering letters to Santa in the early-1970s, it eventually led to the most famous postal code in Canada.
H0H 0H0.
Each year, thousands of letters to Santa from around the world are answered.
This is the story.
