Christmas in Cairo

For the ten percent Christian population and expats this lovely bakery produces German style biscuits and stollen.

Always lovely going into their store.

And we learned Egypt's population has grown 2 million to 92 million this year. I guess a few may become customers, but given the effect on prices because of the floating of the pound, who knows. Taxi fares (the most practical transport for me) went up 25% yesterday. Yet again, however, I know I'm luckier than many. 27m people live on $1.25 a day.
