[lattakianz]

egyptian MC DONALD side effects:)

[mmamdouh75]

you are 15 meters away from the cross walk Mr. Genius!

[mrhebrides]

@mmamdouh75 Haha. That's the point. When you're in Cairo, who cares about crosswalks?

[axt58]

@mrhebrides everyone cares its not ur country 2 speek about it this way

[kashou3ty]

@mrhebrides and who cares about a pig like you also fuck you

[mandofagasta]

@mrhebrides hahahaha.. that's actually a day where there is no crowd :D:D:D

[drshawy86]

@mrhebrides

u start care , didnot wait some one to care

[S24288]

@mrhebrides yeah it's that way in egypt :) , i guess foreigners in egypt are suffering from this , but egyptian are used to this as it's a normal daily action :):) i saw some foreigners after crossing the street they were dancing and clapping ,how funny scene it was :)

[MrAhmadarafa]

@mrhebrides ya you are right we was not care about any thing that was before 25 jan after it we will care

[MrAhmadarafa]

@mrhebrides im egyptian and you are completely right hahaha

[CROSSFIRE011]

@mmamdouh75 Crosswalks !! la3'oha mn zaman di :D

[chuckyjerry]

@mmamdouh75 in egypt, the crosswalk means nothing. literally. they're just pretty lines. no cars stop for you there, and there aren't any stop signs or whatever, so why does it matter??

[seth1422]

@mmamdouh75 There are four traffic lights in Cairo. People only stop at them because of police with machine guns. The crosswalk is not that helpful.

[FireMarshallStev]

@mmamdouh75 If you think the cross walk makes any difference, you sir have never been to Cairo

[earthwormjah]

@mmamdouh75 Haha, crosswalk.....you would be stranded on one block your entire time in cairo

[abegermy]

@mmamdouh75 thank god there is a cross walk... many streets doesn't contain lanes ... the street is all black :D

[FissionNonStop]

same thing in most of china to,lol, it is fun

[jess3336677]

thanks now i fear for my life when crossing the streets (going to cairo innnn few days)

[DavidKneiber]

hhaha, mc donaldos, ana ba hebbo

[ZoserNarmer]

Just run for your life, don't expect anyone will stop for you though a few will and say your will before you do an dgood luck

[bigwrap33r]

You should repost to frogger music.

[andrew1haddad]

@bigwrap33r

def aha

[FsoFun]

0:12 polonez ;)

[FoolWithHisMonkey]

[egyptswain]

@FoolWithHisMonkey

nothink MR MONKEY :p

[arabiannight100]

i miss that crazy cairo

its unique .

everything is unique there even that crazzy crossing

[eltotoX]

lol frogger.

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

subliminal commercial for MD ... LOL :O)

[quatlen]

Lol I saw that McDonalds!

[egyptionguy]

guys .. the traffic will stop for u IN ONE CONDITION

If u r dead :D

No seriously if u r a forigen traffic will stop for u to let u pass .. or try passing near a traffic officer or a police officer if that didnt work THEN u'll have to pass like an egyptian :D

[DeepGenom]

وفرحان بالتخلف يا روح امك ؟؟

[kcronaldo]

deja vu!

i nearly got a heart attack right at this square in cairo. you have to cross 5 roads to get to the egyptian museum!

[hosamgmc]

It's verry dangerous but i crossed the street there many times. Alexandria is more difficult than Cairo.

[MouadKarima]

Looks a bit like 'human frogger' game to me... hhhh

[smartandpretty]

guys its simple!

walking IS NOT AN OPTION IN EGYPT!

ok when i travel abroad i thank God i walk all over the country. but in egypt it is very hard for manyyyy reasons , one of those is the traffic!

so dont complain its just this way. try to experience egypt the egyptian way n not the foreigner way!! :D

[witchesheal32]

Ok so how do you do that? Seriously because I'm supposed to be going there at some point and the person I'm going with says WALK lol and from what the traffic looks like...i'm not driving and neither is he! LOL

[smartandpretty]

its better you rent a car, or go with touristic group tours n such, or really manage the time n place you go in. another thing, u can take taxis but dont let them fool you in payment, negotiate with them.

[egyptionguy]

SWEET DUUUUUDE :D

[justbolla]

This is all wrong the guys who makes this video was in tahriir square they need to wait the light to turn in red and they crossed from a wrong area too if u concentrate 0.14 and 0.20 u would see the crosser way .....

[MouadKarima]

You mean cars actually stop at red lights there? I know they didnt in Morocco.. and trying to cross the street in Marrakesh, Casablanca and everywhere else i traveled over there was the same. No one stops! I dont know why they put up red lights and stop signs... lol

[justbolla]

@MouadKarima no they stop in here :D

[kcronaldo]

the light has no meaning whatsoever at that square. same with the crosswalk. they honk just honk you out of the way

[Lord779]

i tried this.... is very difficult to cross the street!

[welymans]

Salah Salem is the hardest street to cross in Egypt

[smartandpretty]

exactly! there are better streets n much easier to pass in egypt!

[crystalstarrz]

Easy does it :)

[lunatongas]

and the peatonal bridges?

[h34vym3741]

kossom masr

[mero2006]

اخرس يانصراني ياعبد الصليب ياعرص

[KnightMD]

[klappahunda]

you just can't wait to get to Allah, can you?

[Monket2k]

[FaliciaB]

[GARDENERSTOES]

[volunteerz]

I was in Sinai desert -97 where I travelled a distance by taxi. Suddenly, we´re hit in the side by a reckless car in a roundabout.

Well, I got away with some tiny bruises on my arms but had to take off on foot.

[rectfig]

lol

[Cla900]

[Cla900]

wtf? i can easily cross a street.

and even my mum, dad,brother and sister in law were finding it hard to cross the road because it was so bloody dangerous.

[STRANGEJAMES85]

[solom94]

[layla302]

[michaelmariez]

[timmy2138]

[anglean25]

[bigrobbystyle]

Mcdonalds in Cairo is way better than in america. We use lard.

[SparkySubie]

McDonalds anywhere other then the US is always better :p

Tasted weird in Spain though lol. Might have been a burger king, I can't recall.

[zoulation]

dude ...holy shit this is so normal here in Cairo man :D:d ..lol !!

[Krewnaygul]

damn that reminds me of frogger

[SKStylez]

YES lol!!!

[mns614]

lol that is intense

[duckfan814]

wtf is wrong with you? and lol mcdonalds in cairo

[kshaq22]

haha..

this shit is funny

U gotta love Cairo though

[almightykod]

its always like this lol

[Strifedaniel]

lol at mcdonald bag

[LeisureLake]

thats dangerous

[geo837ma]

everyone does it in egypt lol

[drjones087]

It'd be more dangerous to do it in western country.  This is the norm in Cairo.

[Listeen]

Hard:)

[sodr2]

i think i know where you are...beside downtown near the american university and that government building...forget what its called

[mrhebrides]

it's called Al Mugomma. Scary place if you ask me. My balcony overlooked the building and I would always wonder what was going on at 2am in the lit rooms on the top floors.

[krebsandi]

Why did you wait for a moment.

At least in your video came NO CAR.

It was very safe if you had crossed the street then.

[mrhebrides]

yeah, I remember hesitating. I wanted to stretch the crossing out a bit longer.

[bate94]

really funny

it reminds me when i were in Cairo

i miss egypt

[geo837ma]

i dont lol

[giovmari]

... you need a lot of coordination and good reflexes

[JopZay]

And still I think if you tried this in any western country it would be more dangerous

[ekosquad]

it was one way, try harder levels

[z0z9z8z7z]

Great video!! Thanks, vey funny. Here in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) it can be more or less the same, but nothing like Cairo. Brazilians who dare to cross streets like you in your video tend to be less educated... Your traffic is considered a hell by some people, but I would say it's so bad as in Indonesia or even Israel.

[8G5FM]

i remember when i was in Cairo for the first time, learning how to cross the road.. of course, having a bag of some sort 9a white bag) really helps. =]
