Stumble_On

In (just reiterating my sms and showing public support for your event)! See y'all there. Sequoia is fun, nice atmosphere, nice location and options of alcohol for those who enjoy it, and non-alcoholic beverages for those who don't. Who wants to be judged anyways. It takes all kinds. See ya tomorrow night Elaine. Thx for organizing yet again. lol.

ana_aruba

Looks like a nice place!  Won't be going out tomorrow due to the demonstration, but would love to try this place another time.

eltviola

You're welcome any time ana :)
Thanks Stumble_on ;) think I should give up the day job and do this full time? hmm

Libya for ever

Thanks for the link Elaine , and im coming , i loved the pictures of the place, see u there:)

eltviola

excellent! Protest-permitting, there'll be at least 10 of us coming :D I'll post tomorrow afternoon to confirm plans once we have a better idea of the political situation :)

i guess going to zamalek tomorrow can be risky , but the place there is very nice , but you have to be sure of how many poeple going tomorrow so you can reserve enough places ! , it wont be so easy to reserve many places specially on friday !

or other wise you can stay in cairo , and go to fairmont or to deals hliopolis , at least for this week end until we see what is going to happen tomorrow exactly ! if in heliopolis then i might join if no body mind ! :)


Booking wasn't a problem, thankfully.

I don't mean to be rude but I'd rather you didn't join us as you've already tried to 'pick me up' via private message. This is NOT a dating forum!! I don't care how many expats you've apparently dated before, or that you drink alcohol, I'm not impressed and you won't have any success with this 'sweet thing'.:rolleyes:

My socials are for people who want to make new friends or who are already friends here, and those people are welcome as ever :) look forward to seeing you all later!

Elaine

El.Daly

hey all
unfortunately i don't think i'm gonna make it this time
maybe next time
but wanted to say something
NOTHING IS RISKY HERE
even going to spend the whole day in the square
going anywhere ISN'T RISKY
Don't be afraid!!!
i hope u have nice time today :)

Hi Elaine,

Awww bless, ya try and organise socials and there's always one ehh? We've not had message from security that we can't go out....is it too late to change our mind nd for me and nick to come along? If it's too tricky don't worry, will wait for the nxt social. Would be good if we can come:) will wait to hear about how things are in the square.

Max

eltviola

Minaxi, Of course you two can come - I'll amend the booking, no problem. Just wait a few hours to monitor Tahrir...

Julien, nice one, thanks so much, it'll make the forum loads better with a zero-tolerance approach to creeps! :D

John25, what are you talking about?! Plenty of things here are risky. Going out in Cairo near Tahrir when there's a high profile political protest going on which may turn violent can be RISKY, especially as a female & foreigner :P but that doesn't mean it's too much of a risk for me to take ;) Anyway we're not so close to Tahrir at Sequoia, so don't worry peeps, just be careful when you travel.

Stay out of trouble kids :D

Elaine

minaxi

Fantastic, thank you! really looking fwrd to it:)will await your nod about the square.

Sorry-I'm a newbie!;)

M

eltviola

Libya for ever

Hello ppl , thank you soooo much for the lovely evening i enjoyed it sitting on the table ALONE since 07:30
Thank you Elaine for reserving the table for ME!

The Londoner

We left at midnight, but we didn't see you. In fact, we were wondering where you were... did you try looking for us? We were a group of 11, kinda hard not to miss.

Please don't blame Elaine for the mishap, it really was not her fault, I'm sorry you spent the night alone.  :(

Thanks for organising such a brill night, we had a great time and was a really nice bunch of people to chat to and giggle with.

Hi, I'm really sorry that happened :o I don't know why the restaurant didn't send you over to us, we were there from 7pm and it was booked under 'Elaine'... Glad you made the most of it anyway and please come to the next outing! :) next time we'll swap numbers via pm.

Elaine

bangora

i wish to join but elaine make it cheaper :)

eltviola

any suggestions? I only have so much experience and time for this, so help would be appreciated :)

El.Daly

why don't we go to azhar park again?

semsema135

I really missed this great outing with the greatest people ever, and with the sweet orGANIZER Elain, actually i was facing many problems nowadays plus i finished work too late at that day

What about to go to Feloka for the next time, what is ur opinion Elain??
Really I Missed this great outing, Elain, by the way, I have seen the pix for the last outing,the pix are amazing, great jobb:):)

Love u all xox
Love u all

El.Daly

yes from tahrir plz :D

eltviola

Tahrir? no no no :P nice try.

I believe another protest is planned this Friday so maybe Al Azhar would be better this time, felucca maybe the weekend after that if it remains peaceful (which I hope it does based on last Friday which looked amazing from your pics John_25! :D)

What do you think, 5pm on Friday at Al Azhar park, Meet at Trianon by the lake?

Elaine, please don't say it's dangerous. Let's say it doesn't ease our moves in this area because of the people.
