Protests

Alrighty.. so I ignorantly stated minutes ago that I wasn't sure of what happened with the protests today.  As it turns out, three people were killed (and events are still continuing).  One policeman in Cairo was killed after being hit by a rock.  Two others were killed in Suez after tear gas was used.  Please read up on what's going on, but know that I'm safe and in my apartment.  I was advised by a few of my new Egpytian friends (who are in their twenties and were therefore aware of possible protests via facebook long before news agencies caught on) to stay clear of downtown today.  All I saw tonight on my way back from the carnival were HUNDREDS of policemen in full SWAT gear, with sheilds and all, but no protestors.  As much as I want to see all of the action... mom and dad, don't worry... I'm staying in my room for the night and leaving the capital city in the morning.   I still don't think this will amount to what protesting did in Tunisia, and to be honest I don't know if that's the best situation for Egypt anyway. 

But please google "cairo protests" or something of the sort and check it out.
