I am now in Cairo.
Although I feel uncomfortable, probably because I can't understand Arabic, everything appears relatively safe.
I have had a few dark looks but on the whole, people have still been friendly.
I am wearing an identifier to South Africa all the time, my SA Rugby Jersey, and a lapel badge for my jacket, which seems to help.
The security here is extremely tight at the moment.
I spoke to a Kiwi bloke yesterday who was here over the last few days. He said it has been uncomfortable, he came across roaming groups of demonstrators every now and then, but he reckons the threat is more perceived perceived than real.
