4、 airport terminal. A woman taxi driver the only woman, for that matter, among a large crowd of her male counterparts.Do you know what it is like to arrive in a strange city in the middle of the night? Nobody, not even a ray of sunshine is here to greet you. When I walk out of the terminal, I am faci
5、ng the crowd of taxi drivers milling about in front of every airport the world over. Here in Cairo, it is large and noisy. “Taxi!” “You want taxi?” I hear all round me.I feel a firm hand holding my left arm. “You want taxi, follow me,” the woman says. She doesnt ask, she simply pulls me through the
6、crowd. I follow her willingly. There is this moment when a tourist, particularly a woman, simply has to trust someone. We stop at a worn car. It has seen a better day, there are quite a few scrapes on its body, the tires are bald and there is a crack in the windshield. But it is a car for hire, and
7、the woman will personally drive me. I breathe a sigh of relief when she puts my bag into the trunk, locks it and gets behind the wheel. “I will drive you, dont worry,” she says.Nagat, as she now explains to me, works as a taxi driver several days and nights a week. She has another job, working in an
8、 office, but details of it remain vague. The little old car is not hers; it belongs to a boss from whom she in turn rents it whenever she can. She has been a driver ever since her husband died some ten years earlier and left her with two teenage kids and her parents to support.She knows every nook a
9、nd cranny in and around Cairo no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, hug
10、e apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city.With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule.

11、n seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesnt waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have gr
12、own on a bed of economy, on the necessity to get as much done as she possibly can.What becomes clear to me soon as she drives me from museum to pyramid, from one part of town to the opposite, is this: she is a true exception here. Wherever we stop, be it for a cup of tea during a break or upon arriv
13、ing at a historical site where her male colleagues gather in the parking area everywhere, she is being noticed. Men walk up to her in the car with questioning faces. As she tells me, they all have one question first of all: “Are you a taxi driver?” She then explains in a few short sentences, and I s
14、ee the mens faces soften, smile and respectfully and kindly chat with her. This scene repeats itself over and over again. I get the sense that she invites goodwill from the people she meets.Nagat is proud and independent. One day, as I find her waiting outside a museum, she is just taking a spare ti
15、re out of the trunk of the taxi. One of the bald tires had finally gone flat, and she was going to change it herself. Several curious people gather around her and she receives offers of help but no, she wants no part of that. In her efficient, deliberate manner, she changes the tire, and having done
16、 so, washes her hands with bottled water, gets in the taxi and asks “Where to now?”Should you find yourself at Cairos airport, look for Nagat outside the international arrival hall.

131、shimmering light. The sun had just gone down and twilight would soon give way to night. We were strolling along the Nevsky Prospekt, a wide avenue stretching four kilometres and filled with people, music and street entertainers. This was St. Petersburg in August and it seemed the city was out to cel
132、ebrate the long summer nights. We had just left the home of newly found Russian friends and after a wonderful traditional dinner decided to have some exercise before going to bed.It has always been my dream to visit St. Petersburg. Absorbed by Russian history since childhood, I wanted to see it all
133、for myself. Now, thanks to Perestroika, tourists are welcomed into Russia and St. Petersburg with its rich, cultural history is a popular choice.We flew in from Stockholm and from the air immediately noticed a well-planned city with apartment blocks built in semi-circles with central courtyards and
134、gardens. Not only did this seem practical, but the idea behind the design was to shelter residents from the fierce winter winds. The city was built by European architects in the 18th and 19th centuries and remains one of Europes most beautiful cities. Straddling the wide River Neva, the city is made

There was an air of intimacy in the room, as though it was the core part of this family. Many parties, social and p
141、olitical discussions and family gatherings take place here. We were honored to be there and I felt ashamed that I had absolutely no Russian language to attempt to communicate in.
