a bit of bank panic

November 23, 2011

All the ATM’s were out of order in Cairo last night. Today I went into the campus bank to make a deposit, and I was 105th in line. No, I didn’t wait. I’m just going to go back to check every half hour or so.

Everyone is making mildly panicked withdrawals, not knowing if there will be another bank shutdown. And actually, I have almost no cash on hand at the moment, so perhaps I’ll be eating canned food all of next week.
