Bikya…..robabikya
It’s been nearly a year since I’ve heard “bikya….robabikya.” I jumped out of bed this morning, threw open the curtains and realized I’m still in Buenos Aires. But for just a short moment I was back in Cairo.
“Bikya….robabikya.” What is the little guy who walks the streets telling people he’ll take the stuff that’s broken or that they don’t need anymore—robabikya, it’s called in Arabic—doing in Buenos Aires?
Or better, how come the flower guy sounds just like the robabikya guy? I know that’s not what he’s saying, but I’m going to sit here by the window and listen to his voice trail off, transported momentarily to my apartment in Zamalek and Saturday mornings on my balcony with a big ole cup of coffee and a thousand police officers below me sipping tea as they try not to fall asleep.
Nostalgic.

The bikya guy rules, thats what me and my husband used to say. My husband thinks its the coolest job in the world. I'm glad to know other people appreciates the bikya guy.
I so miss the bikya guy! He makes recycling a true art. Although I'm not sure I agree with your husband about it being a cool job. It does seem relaxing though.
