Audio Project #3

My topic was the cultural and sociological factors that affect smoking and smoking rates in Egypt.

Below is the Voicer and News Wrap










Also, I figured this website would come in handy to anyone interested in quitting.

Finally, the electronic cigarette, I've spun this around my head for hours but I still don't understand how this would work, but apparently it's does, well enough they even made a facebook group titled 'Smoking is Healthy'

Quick note on Audio interviews

Ok so this goes to anyone taking the 202 class this semester,

Did anyone notice how when you're interviewing someone and you need their voice to be clear on your recording, you can't laugh, comment back or speak when the person you're interviewing is talking?

You're just sitting there with a stupid smile on your face while you wait for the person to stop talking so you don't ruin your interview with your own voice, damn that was awkward.

Okay so littering has seriously reached new levels in Egypt, the other day I was getting on the university bus and I had just drank a can of Pepsi but I couldn't find anywhere to throw it, I figured Id keep it with me  on the bus and throw it in one of the garbage cans on campus.

I was surprised to find the bus driver yelling at me not to bring it on the bus even though I had just explained it was empty and I'd throw it away on campus.  He still refused.  It really says a lot about us Egyptians, it really does. Bravo!
