To make it easier, I made a list of the videos and photos I shot during the first two weeks in Tahrir Square. The days that are uncovered were simply because of cowardice. Journalists, i.e. foreigners with cameras, were being targeted so I chose to be (somewhat) safe rather than sorry.

I wish I could have been there until Mubarak stepped down, but things went out of hand. Although the pro-democracy protesters in Tahrir was and would defend me if necessary I no longer felt I could continue reporting without putting myself in too much risk. Instead I got to witness the reactions among the locals in a a café in Hurghada. The relief and happiness was of course high and I'll be forever greatful to have witnessed history unfold. This is a once in a lifetime experience that I will talk about until I'm on my deathbed, that's for sure!

Hej Maria!
Mitt ärende känns helt absurt efter att ha fastnat i läsning av din blogg ... Vad du är med om! Hur som ... Vi har haft ett chattmöte med vår grupp på pedagogikkursen (vi visste inte hur vi skulle få tag i dig) och har gjort en sammanställning till dig som litter under Tema 3-forumet. Hoppas denna info når dig, och var snäll att ta väl hand om dig där borta!
Hälsningar från grupp A via Miranda
Tack Miranda! Kul att du tog dig tid att läsa också. Ni kan nå mig via redsaga snabel-a gmail. Förlåt, missade helt att ge den infon sist! Håller fortfarande på med all litteratur men hoppas kunna börja skriva alla individuella och gemensamma uppgifter inom ett par dagar. Hoppas ni har det fint allihop!
