Music of the Night - Reprise

As usual, I left my cell on as I traveled. I received text messages with the accompanying musical notifications informing me of service with Etisalat, Mobilecom, Orange, GSM, Vodaphone, Mobinil and Royal Jordanian In-Flight Roaming. Travel on the train from Luxor to Cairo was a symphony, with various phones ringing, buzzing and jingling text alerts all night long.

While in Israel, cell service from my Wataniya/Kuwaiti cell phone provided my favorite two messages: "Welcome to your second home, Palestine. Watanya wishes you a pleasant stay." and "Marhaba. Smell the jasmine and taste the olives. JAWWAL welcomes you to Palestine." Oy!
