HORN BEEP:

MUSIC:

I really want to

get out of Tahrir.

Go! Go!

It feels different from day

one of the revolution.

It feels different.

People aredifferent.

Its the same organized

chaos concerning traffic.

The police didnt

do anything before

except taking bribes and money

from people, in the street.

which is like, every block

you had people stopping you

and asking for licenses,

it was a bit ridiculous.

And you documented everything?

I did document, at least...

Tell me how you did that.

Just like Im doing right now.

Because if anything

happened to me,

at least theres some sort of

and nobody knows about it,

because its attached

to my scarf.

You have the kids taking

their photos on them,

people getting married

on top of them

really think theyre

merging with the people...

What?

HORN BEEPING:

My ears going to explode.

Except for why the f*** are

they selling so many flags

you wouldnt think that

somethings happened.

The crowds and the

traffic are the same.

HORNS BEEPING:

CHANTING:

CHEERING:

MUSIC:

No empty space.

CHANTING:

I really need to try and move.

I have to focus on that.

Because you see where the

other cabs who were with us.

You realize that if you

stop actually struggling,

you're going to just

stay there forever.

You know, we could have stayed

in the same spot forever.

MUSIC:

MUSIC:

Yes, the agricultural road

is blocked on both sides.

The ring road is also blocked

from Mehwar to

Agricultural Road.

Do try to avoid at all costs.

And Mehwar to October

is literally hell.

- Oh no.

- Says Iman.

Tom Green, with the big

drive home from Vodafone.

RADIO THEME:

Nile FM

The misery is really high in

this city, its a hard city.

HORNS BEEPING:

But you see all these police,

even the traffic police,

they were not here

until 3 or 4 days ago.

What a f***ing mess.

What is?

Egypt.

SINGING:

So it would take

me half an hour,

to just park my car

and walk to work

and when I was already,

sometimes late in the morning,

and I was beyond late because

of the parking situation.

So I decided that I needed

to get my own driver.

He just takes me to

work, and back.

Yeah, no I cant afford

to be late in my new job.

So now Im much happier.

And where are we going now?

SCREECH:

BANG:

It's crazy.

Oh my God, how

did this happen?

This is... I, I, I can't

believe what just happened.

Is the guy okay?

He's okay.
