size of the city, I felt both excited and nervous to visit. (3) Its vast population, the traffic, and the pollution can overwhelm a foreigner
who ventures into its bursting streets. (4) On my trip to Cairo, I felt both its loneliness, when I stood on an empty rooftop, and its
bustle, when I visited a neighborhood market. (5) I could smell fuul, a pita filled with fava beans and tangy spices, and listened as the
urban sounds of old wheezing engines of cars mixed with the Arabic spoken by men and women bargaining for goods. (6) Under one of
the brightly colored awnings of a vendor's stall, I took moment to fix in my mind this lively scene in Cairo. (7) After returning to my
hotel and climbing the steps to my rooftop, I gazed out on a completely different Cairo from the one I had experienced in the market.

residents was in sight. (10) Only a few clotheslines strung across apartment balconies gave signs of life. (11) I realized that Cairo,
despite its ancient past and current overpopulation, could feel very urban and isolated. (12) My trip to Cairo opened my eyes in many
ways.
