It's all about Egypt

Yeh.. it's all about Egypt today. First, as I was walking this morning to a shop about 35 min. walk from my room, I discovered that there is a street called "Suez Road", wouldn't it be nice if I lived there? :) Then, I met a nice group of egyptians in Hyde Park (some whom I already met on the Windsor trip, plus new people as well) we stayed there for a while enjoying the very nice weather then we started discussing where to go for dinner.. and guess what? I suggested to go to dear "Meya Meya" restaurant, especially that, oddly enough, none of them had been there before despite the fact that their living-in-London period varies between 1 and 7 years. And so we went, and I once again enjoyed the tasty egyptian food and movies.

You know, I feel strangely vitalized when I spend a few hours talking in Arabic, and of course the food helps :)

p.s.
correct me if I am wrong, but if BCE (= Before Common Era) and CE (= Common Era) can also be called Before Christian Era and Christian Era, and they have the same starting point as BC and AD, so why exactly do they exist? And what is Common about that anyway?
