American University in Cairo Book Sale

Today there was a book sale at the American University in Cairo, which happens to have an amazing selection of English titles. There were a few notable bargains in the Arabic language department, and a friend and I picked up about 3 items each.

We also went shopping at the local "Sunshine Market" which has many items at about 2/3 the cost that we were paying at the other market which we had discovered previously. I was taking pictures of many of the Arabic food labels in the store and had fun explaining to the manager what I was doing. He was wondering if I was planning to sell goods to Egyptian grocers from the states. I explained my student status, and he seemed to lose interest quickly enough.
