Just as the "Qahwa" tradition/culture has managed to survive different threatening factors along the past few hundred years, so is it still surviving with something very true and deep inside the "Qahwa" concept, that is very attached to the Egyptian life/mood. For years, it is very expected that Qahwa owners and those who wish just to profit from Qahwas, would try and exploit emerging habits in order to attract more people - those who define themselves with those habits. Like writing names in English, or adding a retro "style" to the decoration, or sticking western menus to attract higher classes of visitors with expensive minimum charges. And just as the London cafes are working, although they could not be considered traditional qahwas, something else makes the Qahwa still survive despite those foreign additions. Something about its visitors, and not the Qahwa itself. Something very simple and deeply Egyptian that still resonates with simple Egyptians scattered around in Qahwas all over the not-so-funky-attracting streets and neighborhoods of the Egyptian city.<br /><br />Something very simple, cheerful, worry-less and mindless of Life's anxieties. Maybe the same thing that makes Egyptians so eager to just survive/live on saying: "ya 3am we7na malna, khaleena fe 7alna". Maybe the same thing to which we owe our chaotic fate!<br /><br />That Egyptian specifity, that which we might occasionly call: "el 7etta de" is what i find very interesting, intriguing and mysterious.AbdulRahman El-Taliawihttp://www.mafeesh-url.comnoreply@blogger.com
