just have a trip to egypt for 7, 8 days. it is 40 degrees there, africa's weather owns. it's so bright that i can't look up the sky. stop over at Bahrain after 8 hrs of flight from sg, then wait for 2 hrs, and another 4 hrs of ass torturing section on the plane to cairo (capital of egypt). there're no others except my parents and me in the tour. lol. so can decide whatever we want. =)
when i was on plane it states that the time diff in egypt is 6 hrs slower than sg, so i adjusted my watch. and the 1st joke happens, the tour guide told us to be in hotel lobby at 7.30 next morning, so we plan to leave the room at 7.15. but at 6.45, he called, asked where are we and said we're late. after explaining, the time diff is not 6 hrs but 5. reason is there's 'summer time', and 'winter time' in egypt. LOL! so for summer time, the time diff is 5 hrs, and winter time is 6hrs. and that day is summer, O_O wtf??? then next day it becomes 6 hrs time diff again. one word, OWNED!
everything in egypt need to pay tips, even ask a bellboy a simple question, go toilet also must tips the fellow who give u tissue papers. then there's once, one of the 'toiletman'(don't know what to name him) doesn't let me get out ofwashroom because i give too little tips. when he try to show me bigger note in his pocket to hint the tips is too little, he dropped something on the floor. and i kicked it under the toilet bowl, so he went to pick it up and i can leave. 'jing jiu bu he, he fa jiu' lol.
the traffic is god-like. the vehicles on road most are those in the 1950s, 60s. the cars are rojak, e.g. the car is toyota, but the wheels are benz. lol. and they love to stick english stickers on the car, and i doubt they can read. 1 of them paste a nike 'tick sign' pointing to himself and the word above the tick is "lamerass". ROFLMAO. you can't see lines on the road, so the cars just go without order, a road for 2 cars, can have 3 cars moving side by side. no traffic light, and the traffic is so scary that i stand there for 20 mins till cops bring me over. and the locals cross the road like playing video game, clap*clap*. the taxi don't have the mirrors at the side, and their skill is better than takumi. don't know how to describe it in words, they don't want their life, i want mine. can go against the flow of the traffic at full speed, indeed crazy taxi. and surprisingly i don't see the cars on road are damaged or scratched, proof that their skills are beyond god-like with the way they drive.
the 1st night, have dinner in hotel. pay bill for $150, and my father pay 50 x3. and the 50 my father pay is cents. lmao. so pay $1.50 for $150 dinner. end up the waiter run to us after that. all cash are notes, no coins. and $ is call pound there and cents is call piaster. both start with p and the size of the notes almost the same, all notes are so old that you can't see clearly. damn funny, $1.50 for $150.
there's a night that i took train from 1 town to another. when i'm sleeping, the staff knocks and ask if i want water and i said no then went back to sleep. he stand at the door and ask for tips, and the whole night that ass keep knocking and give 'service'. =.=
1 of the day, travel from another town by road, and we're excorted by soldiers. lol.
egypt's hotel management sucks, really cmi. i think kopitiam aunty here can manage better than them. zzz.
where ever i go, people treat me as japanese and talk jap to me. -.- kids keep saying hello to you. surprisingly the pyramids and those tourist site, are mostly in the town itself. i was expecting to traffic to for hrs. there's once, i turned on tv in hotel and it's showing yugioh in arabic. yugi summon BM and say some spell or whatever shit. sounds like baha's 'seckzorious fuxoria'. lol.
my nose bleeds often, as i have sensitive nose and the weather is gay.
moral of the story, air-con is the greatest invention.
