La shokran

Eezie cafe
just got back from our one week whirlwind trip of egypt...quite a trip and also eventful when we got back when the boiler in the flat decided to play up on us...no heating and hot water...and we just got back to a freezing holland from 30C egypt! my ears nearly fell off whilst waiting for the tram home!
we preferred luxor above cairo and aswan more for its calm beauty as opposed to the chaotic cairo and asphaltic aswan...but the sights are really amazing, the pyramids and the mummies will always be a symbol and reminder to all men as stated in the quran and it has reaffirmed our belief even more. all that bling found in king tut's tomb, the sheer size of the blocks of stones moved, and the tall columns in the temples shows the achievement of people who had a belief in something...semua boleh lah..
with the sights comes the people of egypt..who bring their own brand of madness to an art form...everything is up for grabs and negotiable...number one rule is, everyone has something to sell to you, so be aware...these are some poor but highly resourceful people...and they have been receiving tourists for thousands of years, so there is nothing that they havent tried in trying to extract money from you....after a while we got a bit tired of it all, so about the only thing we muttered to anyone approaching us is La Shokran!!!
