Shakira Shakira!

Yesterday Shakira held a concert here in Cairo by the Pyramids. I am not a big Shakira fan, I like one or two of her songs but I wouldnt buy a CD of hers or anything. So the main reason I bought a ticket was I wanted to dance plus do something new rather than the cafes we always go to. And that's exactly what happened! We got there and just danced danced danced, and Shakira put on quite a show. She of course outdid herself as always with the belly dancing moves that put us all to shame. You could see all the girls trying to dance to TRY to divert their boyfriends' attention from the stage! AIESECers, she sang Ojos Asi so of course Martha, Hazem and I did the AIESEC dance to it and looked like little children in between all these people but that made it even more fun! We took forever to get to the stage due to traffic and parking but that's when you have to make sure you are with a fun group of people in the car. Then of course no concert would be complete without having at least one disastor which would make you laugh later when you remembered it. One of our friends left his ticket with us and couldnt get past the first gates without it and we could not reach him due to the phone networks being down with all the call traffic plus we were not allowed to go back out to get him! He finally managed to get in by hitchhiking in a car with strangers, then being very nice with the policemen inside, and managing to eventually get to us. He kept us pretty stressed out for an hour or so. Overall, the evening was loads of fun with good friends, a change of scenery, smiles, and some dancing.
