http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/11/04/jordan-2-american-trainers-killed-in-shootout-at-air-base.html   :frown:

I guess one of these Americans killed was from Lawrence.   :frown:

Yeah. Saw that. And just 27 :frown:

It's weird. Egypt overall is much more violent. The last 18 months or so, there was an ISIS bomb downtown once a month loud enough to wake us up in the middle of the night. Since the ISIS expansion into Egypt was my portfolio, I'd just accept it as an alarm clock and go to work.

Everything is quieter here as a whole, but all the buildings and gardens and whatnot in the Embassy compound are named after Americans assassinated in (usually) shooting attacks.

I can't decide how incredibly mumped up this is.

No. we have various family coming in the next few months, so we're waiting to reclaim territory until then so it's fun and new for all of us.

For bacon, they almost always use “beef bacon” and it’s just pretty much just beef jerky. The fancier places will have Turkey bacon, which is better than “beef bacon”, but yeah not the same. I think it’s the fat content or something? You can’t get a good pepperoni pizza on this side of the world. But that said, there’s always pockets of Filipino restaurants that serve pork if you’re willing to go off the map a bit.

Can I still take my kids there to throw a cat in monkey island? They need some “real America” cultural experiences.
