The Top 5 (Bad) Habits of Cairenes

Many thanks to Waleed for putting this list together.

1) Going to sleep no earlier than the crack of dawn. Maas would probably call it an epidemic.
2) Eating past midnight (obesity is definitely a problem in Cairo).
3) Smoking.
4) Idling in tea houses for hours with shisha (or hookah) in hand.
5) Not exercising. But I don’t blame them, given there are virtually no decent public places for sports here. The only places where you can jog/do sports and not get hit by a car are in sporting clubs, which are usually located in upscale (elitist) neighborhoods.

I wonder how all these habits came about?
