Tahrir Square in Cairo, a place where Egypt’s democratic revolution took place a year ago, has turn into a shelter for the homeless. A photo taken on the balcony of an eight-floor hotel in the square costs 20 U.S. dollars. The holy place is changing into a tourist venue.

I wasn’t aware too many sane people still went to Egypt as tourists. When I was younger lots of people went there, but the images of Christians being slaughtered, their churches, homes and businesses burned, makes me sick.
