Impression of the African Cup of Egypt

And Chinese fans, we almost every was asked by Egypt fans are proud of their team, and firmly believe that Egypt team win, although Egypt team just in last year's World Cup qualifier has been eliminated. Whenever the Egypt game day, the streets of teahouse or Cafe will certainly are crowded with men, like a child in kindergarten "champion, sit, eat fruit" sat in a neat, staring at a not large TV screen, issued the same loud excitement or depressed. Only at that time, we can see small peddlers Egypt those, they are always three were both together, or entrenched in their shop, or run into other TV, serious and excited to watch the game. I think they all patriotic enthusiasm, maybe can become the pride of the team, in just two hours of competition to air it out.

To Cairo's first night, we had to squeeze in the Egypt game time came Khalili market.

In a silver shops to wander about, boss casually chatted for two sentences, he's very enthusiastic, but unexpectedly without too much about him, but he kept pointing small television tells us Egypt game to begin. Just start broadcasting on television, Egypt's national anthem and we politely when ready to say goodbye, my right arm suddenly shot was an arm tightly roll up, gave a big jump in my rush to get up but saw her husband, my left arm was the same person tightly roll up, turned out to be the owner. Before we slow too God, caught in the middle of the boss started with TV loud singing the national anthem, Egypt to sing also edge around with us, this body shake ... I told her husband are some fat and muddled, but watching him so proud to meet, also sorry to interrupt his singing, excuse me desperately broke his arm but did not sing the national anthem, but to their embarrassment to pretend it was like, singing, also praised the two sentences powerful Egypt team, was horror-stricken our enthusiasm was overdone boss let go, awkwardly on the run. Egypt people strong and exposure of patriotism, a knot is give us the strong, vivid lesson.

To the first night of Luxor, competing for the eight-strong seat competitions, we take a walk on the edge of the Nile, go tired, just found a bar to sit down, that's a completely Westernization of bar, from the decoration to the content, there is no truth in Egypt local feel, the only waitress or local lad, so when we picked a place to sit down, apart from missing from a wine list, and then no one came to greet, all people are staring at the screen.

While reading the expensive so stupefying wine list, we're also happy to look up with them, when calling two tournaments, no one to call but also irrelevant. This is what I've seen of the busiest and most confused of the game, all the people around, both men, women and children, regardless of nationality, skin colour, with joy, cheer loudly, our inclusion of these, more than someone screamed out loud, but in a very long time before they ever understand competition with Egypt is which country ... The game ends, Egypt win, but still no one came to say hello, the waiter will celebrate, we decided to leave, since there is no consumption is not our fault. Walk out so far, would like to read the book and see where are my own, I found the gambler went global "falls in the bar, helpless, had to go and get it back, think should not be someone on a Chinese book of interest, but let people think corner both Chinese don't consume slipped hell is not always a good thing, on the road, I can't give discredit the motherland! took point fluster, we went back to the place looked in sneaking around at the door, and find books on the table, approaching a point of view, the wine list has also put in place, we left this upside corner nobody came. What a guy, celebrated nearly an hour!

Wait until the eight input four races, we in Dahab for a shop to pick silver ring, stature abnormal big boss apparently absent-minded, we asked the style and colours, he hurriedly discomfort, vision and slipped into the side of the TV, like a heart gaze and had to listen to his father's teachings of children.

In Egypt team into the first ball, he is a partner of thunderous cheers joyfully tell us, in order to celebrate this ball, he will give us 10 El lbs. Although in the end we had to lower prices to buy the silver ring, but at that moment, we are in his pure smile don't see Egypt merchant's cunning and self-righteous clever moment in his eyes, clearly only written with joy.

It's funny that while in Egypt, we constantly in African Cup of siege, also more or less or active or passive look at several games, but for the team, players, and even the competition results are poorly understood and sometimes look for a moment, the game is over, we actually haven't figure out what the two teams in the game, the score is the number! then really admire those who dare to a strange world live!
