At this hour of the day, the schoolyard is filled with the movement of students: ten thirty, the first chance for recess.
Or as they call it at Victoria College, the First Break - the students crowd into the tuck shop run by Mike Gabrielides, a fat, friendly Greek Cypriot, and his petite wife, who is always complaining about...
Cold and flu.
The options in the cafeteria were limited: a Roman cheese sandwich, a Corona chocolate bar, a strawberry jam donut or a bottle of Citro, and on rare occasions ice cream. At the time, we were children no older than eight, filled with joy, hope and innocence. It was Victoria College.
For its students, the college, located on the edge of the Maadi district (south of Cairo), is the most important institution in their lives, especially the boarding students who live in the college dormitories, and feel the solidity of their collective togetherness in the college (school), the dormitories, and the dining hall.
The spacious room, the swimming pool and the movie theater where we watch a movie every Sunday (black and white of course) and mostly comedies: Laurel Hardy Charles Chaplin Charlie Chaplin or Laurel and Hardy.
