Erik Arrives in Cairo -- His Luggage Does Not

-- CAIRO, Egypt

ENN reporters were on hand as Erik arrived at Cairo International Airport after more than 18 hours traveling from Los Angeles.

"Where the hell are my bags?" were Erik's first words after clearing passport control, according to several eyewitness reports.  Air France officials refused to answer the question, instead directing Erik to a counter where about 428 other people were asking similar questions in several different languages.

After arriving at his hotel, Erik proceeded to take off his clothes, he took a shower, and -- according to some reports -- he slept.  After waking up the following morning at about 4:30am, ENN reporters observed Erik turn his underwear inside out.

"I might have to buy some new underwear," Erik was heard telling random people on the street.

Erik, who is in Cairo for a summer semester learning Arabic, has been declared "dangerous" by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who issued a statement late Sunday calling Erik "simply too hot for the demure Egyptian women.  I mean, look what havoc he wreaked in California!"

ENN correspondents have seen Erik enjoying several Egyptian restaurants and shops as he explores the city.  Classes are scheduled to begin on Sunday, which is when Erik plans to begin slacking off.
