Sick in the sooq
Why do I get car sick in taxis here? I was fine in the suicidal Egyptiam taxis but every time I'm in a cab here for more than a few minutes I feel awful. I had a meeting near the sooq today and almost threw up when I got out of the cab. Is it just me?:(

Golly that's a new one .... I was just thinking of the ARTE SOUK :)
Mirriam webster likes the translation from arabic 'suq' to english 'souk' and doesn't list souq.......which doesn't make much sense to me unless translation has become phonetic. and...yeah - i know the arabic suq is actually not made up of an 's', a 'u' and a 'q'...but really it's a bunch of squiggly lines. |

Yeah, makes absolutely no sense. I done a degree in Arabic but never wrote transliterated Arabic so I could be wrong :confused: |
