It's midnight in our neighborhood in Cairo.
The current sounds I hear simultaneously are:
A chainsaw
A backfiring taxi
Firecrackers
A live drum corp
A male solo
An ambulance
A calliope
The James Bond theme played on electric piano
Whistles
A solo trumpet playing "Taps"/Spanish Mariachi medley
Taxi honks
Men singing and clapping in rhythm
Crowds cheering
A revving motorcycle
A woman screaming from her balcony, "Why don't you people go to bed for Pete's sake?!"
