Luke likes to take taxis in Cairo. Very few of them have seatbelts, giving him the freedom to sit where he chooses, which is usually in the backseat, leaning forward between the driver and the front seat passenger. Most of the cabs are Fiats and Renaults from the 60's and 70's, and would have died long ago were it not for bailing wire, duct tape, Egyptian ingenuity, and the smell of an oily rag. But they always get us to where we are going, and the trip is never dull - especially for Luke.
