Welcome to Cairo

Yesterday I was stuck on the crowded Moneib highway in my usual foul post-work mood, with that foul, grim glare in my eyes, driving like a maniac, and beeping my horn at any other driver who wants to drive like a maniac like me.
So I get stuck in a standstill, and notice out of the corner of my eye the next car trying to stop next to me and get my attention.
Me being egyptian female well educated on the methods used by desperate egyptian males to flirt or get our attention, i ignored the car, until the person rolled down the window and banged on my window.

A little astounded, i opened my windown to find a blond, pink nosed foreign chick smiling at me sweetly.
"Welcome to Cairo," she chirped.
"Ha?" I squealed, not really used to a foreigner saying that to a local.
"Welcome to Cairo," she repeated, "You're not from here, are you?"
I stared at her pink nose and tried not to laugh at the irony, "No, no, I am from here," and almost considered pulling out my old ID to prove it.

"Your license plate says you're from Alexandria," she insisted, "So you're not from here."

Again, i looked at her, and the egyptianness in me kinda bubbled to the surface, and this little alexandrian voice inside me started yelling: "Na3am na3am, i am egyptian, ya roh ommek! [literal translation: oh soul of your mother, insult] Who the hell do you think you are to speak ya khawagaya enty [foreigner,you]??"

But i didn't, instead i asked her where she's from.
Suddenly she became shy, and asked me to guess.

"German? Polish? Swedish? Dutch?" I asked.
"No," she said more quietly, "Danish."
I nodded, and said "Well, welcome to Cairo then."

And drove on, thinking that given the current anti-danish sentiments around here, it's not very clever of a dane to go around saying "welcome to cairo" to fiercely patriotic egyptians, especially not cranky ones working a shit job and driving like a lunatic.
