I thought about the previous day when I felt such a heavy depression all day long. So heavy I didn’t even do my usual amount of time on the net. I had felt trapped, drained and hopeless.

It appeared the government had decided to let the sit-ins continue indefinitely at Rabba Al Adaweya and Nahda in Cairo. We had already been through 2 years and 6 months of ever decreasing tourism in Egypt and a devastated economy.
