Maybe no Cairo trip due to circumstances

 Ikaiya tipped me off for the updated travel advice, coming from our ministery of exterior affairs. They advice to cancell all non-essential trips to Cairo. Cookiehunter mentioned that cancellation insurance is included in our insurance policy so I can probably get the money for the planeticket back. Most of all I'm worried about the people that live in Cairo and have to face the protest and violence every day. Glad that Facebook and Twitter are back up so we can receive updates from the dancers working in Cairo on the situation.

I received an email from Farida Adventures, mentioning that they're hoping things will get better. Two weeks is a long time in Cairo.

I'm still assuming that by the time I'm supposed to go (it's a month away) things will have settled down.

at the moment sms-, phone- and twittercontact is still very difficult. At least one of the goverment buildins is still burning. And there have been 2 jailbreaks. Even if Mubarack leaves the country, the situation will be explosive for some time. So plaese be carefull.

Love Ikaiya
