This building is close to famous Tahrir Square. Protestors had set fire to the NDP (Mubaraks party) headquarters building.

The famous square on Thursday, 4th of January.
When I had arrived two weeks ago, the square was blocked by army/police. This thursday things were relaxed and quiet...the usual beggars and tourist cheaters just waiting to make money.

However, on Friday morning a lot of Police had arrived for just in case as protests are usually massive after Friday prayers.

Thursday, 4th of Jan., the atmosphere was rather relaxed. Over the square are several tents decorated with the national flag. Protestors still remain here to indicate that there are more changes needed in their opinion. However, there was no violence whatsoever, it appeared more like Occupy-Wall-Street.

Many locals came to the square to exchange their opinions. Good to see this democratic process.
