Ha, never doubt the Egyptian entrepreneur!
Last year around this time, I marveled at how despite Tahrir’s tumult and tight security around the square, every day new vendors managed to get their carts in and businesses rolling. (Meanwhile I was lucky to get in with a notebook and a pen.) And like Mehreen, I saw it during Pakistan’s Long March in Lahore as well. Never doubt the hungry entrepreneur?
Only in Egypt?
