Flight to Sudan

Last thing I did before getting on the plane to Khartoum from Cairo, was have a Starbucks hot chocolate while hopping on the wifi in the Cairo International Airport.

Once I got on the plane, there was this grumpy 50-year old air-hostess, from where else but EgyptAir, trying to tell people to go to their assigned seats. I could not believe that people did not want to follow the assigned seating, which they picked themselves, and printed on the plane ticket. First thing that came to my mind is the Egyptian "fahlawa", where if they insist on sitting where they want, no one will force them to move eventually. Is this a downtown bus? Last time I checked it was a plane.

What really pissed me off the most was that air-hostess thinking I was Sudanese, and handing me a Sudan entry form for Sudanese people. Already, I was losing my identity as an Egyptian, not that I was proud of it back home, but it's the first day.
