I've also observed several distinctly Egyptian fashion (I want to say crimes, but some crimes are victimless; not this one) travesties: placing baseball caps on top of your head, rather than actually wearing them, white socks on anything other than sports shoes, tucking jumpers into your pants, acid-washed jeans at any point after 1988 (acid-washed jeans are the Peugeot 504s of Jeans...they will never go away from Cairo streets), those safari suits (and by safari, I mean Doctor-Livingstone, Allan bloody Quatermain-type safaris, not the brand) and, by far the most egregious of all, going for a swim in a galabiya (man, woman or child..all should be sequestered and prohibited from breeding).<BR/><BR/>There. I've said my peace. I'm coming to visit on the 24th. Will I meet you people, at some point?

I'm thinking something along the lines of Chinese torture. People who wear those need to think long and hard about their fashion crimes. The water drop on the forehead in between the eyes should get the job done I imagine. Everyone everywhere was wearing them last summer. Apparently they're superduper light, comfortable and airy, which under normal circumstances, would be highly marketable qualities in a shoe..
