10 out of Egypt in mind

Note before

Go to Egypt is pure relaxation.

Term of more than three weeks, you have to go to a more distant from the United Kingdom, the last few months were forced into the minds of a pile of garbage clean-clean, well some space then followed scrub the next few months another pile of junk.

Reading in the library every day, every day down estimates also saved a lot of scrap copper scraps. Have fun pastime. Look around in a circle of European countries, North too cold in the South of too many visitors, EASTER is the peak season for tourism.

Where is warm, not many people, and have well developed tourism industry, you can enable a lazy people take a guided tour all the way around to meet the cultural voyeuristic desire? open map, a sight to see Egypt.

Ancient civilizations, Africa, tourism since Napoleon attacked it flourished, but, it is estimated that the visitors were not United States will top the 9-11 of wind to the Arab countries. Is it.

Cairo

Egypt that the people are very fond of the tip, I had not expected before departure.

Words "tip" I have one encounters: just over Egypt airport customs, I went to the toilet when I was as light as she walked out, that I just slipped in and also a big smile fat WHIR of Arab women face I stretched out her big hands, at that moment I understand what she meant.

Flip wallet, which only a pound and a credit card, on a toilet for her 10 pounds, the cost is too great. There are also good pockets in London Airport coffee extra change, brought to her. She had stopped dislodged.

I know early Egypt is a developing country, but in some countries before the read report, saying that the situation is Egypt's GDP Per Capita is approximately $ 3600, Egypt's economy is also good, compared to China's often quoted $ high a lot.

To Cairo when it is night, although worn something airport, down or up, Madrid is a very old small airport. From the airport to the hotel, across the Windows look, feel, but there is light there is water there is quite some Metropolitan Expressway,. The next few days, but it was a surprise.

Cairo air pollution and dirt degree absolute than Beijing is gone.

From Ali's mausoleum and the castle high above the city to Cairo, city cover a mission of several hundred metres high, grey smoke. Egypt almost no rain, sunny, not a cloud in the sky, a cloud of ash, sharp contrast so that people can not help feeling some asphyxia. One afternoon, come in from the pyramid to the lives of Sofitel Le Sphinx hotel Street, seventies, swarms and vehicles less than twenty minutes by road, air and dust put me out of Shanghai exercise and have gone through the lungs can't hold on, return to the hotel see the swimming pool, wanted a first tie into the water filtration filtration.

Air and pollution itself down is expected and is developing a rapid urbanization and the by-products in the desert, Cairo, Cairo, surrounded by buildings but is quite a spectacle.

Suburban roadsides, Palm trees and fields, and built numerous half completed by 5-story red brick building. The majority of each is just a small window, some anyway out of the window in which to open the red brick walls, surrounded by a small door. The wall is not erased the lime or cement, red brick wall naked. Many building, top floor hasn't a second layer of capping, would have been quite obvious xiaorizi good tenants, numerous satellite TV's cauldron from small form stuck like a mushroom from from the vibrant open. Urban insight also is seeing will collapse of buildings, the mottled shedding of lime, or a House collapse, the other half lived half done. The exit of the highway in the city centre, there are several buildings, apartment buildings, there are several layers of exterior wall full collapse, the remaining layer they are still thriving and live well. Egypt last war is almost thirty years ago in 1973, you can watch almost to make people think that just ended two years before the war.

Not the nerve to ask the tour guide.

Ask him why Cairo how can all these people, live, estimates were she look a few eye and head injury in his national pride. Boasting Cairo's survival in adversity, estimation of tenacious people she can see at a glance break my honest opinion. So I had to swallow at, and so the day someone ask again.

However, two points may be part of the answer.

First, the $ 3600 Per Capita GDP is actually after purchasing power balance. China is the same $ 3600, according to the calculation of purchasing power. If the economy average equivalent, then a quarter of the population, Egypt Cairo and other parts of the difference must not be less than 3% of the total population of Beijing, Shanghai and China's poor areas. Second, on building and general quality of living space. Close to the city centre and the castle of Ali mausoleum, some of the city wall has collapsed, a pile of rocks, no clear signs, but also quite dilapidated buildings. As a tourist destination, but also in Egypt is quite important in the history of the castle of Ali, a dilapidated scene, you can push and think of the fate of other buildings. The New Zealand girl said, in addition to the U.A.E., the Arab countries in General.

"It's broken in Cairo.

Pyramid-Temple-tombs

Speaking of Egypt, it is estimated that the curb asked a buy ice cream's aunt, she also knows that the "pyramid!" might also tell your pyramid is built of aliens, an alien is on its way to Earth, and so on and so on.

So we arrived the next day will be pulled to the three great pyramids, round tower go in a circle, took some pieces to this phase of a tour, and then raised his head, watching eyes the great stone, Alabaster stone tower of the residual clause in the desert sun sparkle shining light, I estimated 5000 years to thousands of visitors from the new dynasty Pharaoh to Alexander the great to Caesar to Arab conquerors to Napoleon, United Kingdom gentleman, France by archaeologists, there are many small people, look at the great pyramid, more or less will think of some life of crisp fall, the great human creativity

The monument in vain. Of course, like former friends, saying, "well, not just a heap of broken stones?!" and I do not like her so divinely, now only in hawker who's "El points, as long as five Egyptian pounds" sound, hurry to some glorious idea such as the rise in dilapidated condition, and then it was pulled, find more attractions as some desert landscape like the photos.

The great pyramid before some small pyramid, the most famous is the built in dozens of kilometres outside ladder pyramid.

Its designer, Imohetep, Pharaoh's conflict, compared to the burial of Pharaoh's famous big too much that Hollywood a mummy movie, which conflict name almost without exception all Imohetep, including two recently shot masterpiece. He and all other names of the Pharaohs and deeds to retirement date, all on the Napoleon's army in the discovery of two hundred years ago, let the stone block Egypt scholars have cracked Egypt text key. Although they are willing to accept the view that the rulers of unnamed in the steles were in vain, should do more practical things. However for Egypt's Pharaoh, thanks to their over-ambitious, all large buildings are built in stone wall carved full text praises rather easily collapse wiped out of the walls or Egypt rare wood, their name will be retained until now. Babbitt: and the King had luck badly, while China's three five emperors is but a legend of unfounded, also thanks to the China 5000 years of uninterrupted history.

Size of the pyramid of foreign tourists spatter, estimates are that the situation in Afghanistan.

The guide said that recent many local tourists. However, compared to all the attractions around China abuzz, Cairo around all the attractions that make people feel spacious, well suited to large sun, open empty desert, in the great buildings of the 6000 years before some exclamation of tourists, such as me.

Egypt's pyramids while fame loud, but just a period.

Old dynasty later, never to which Pharaoh have so much confidence from their own bone and buried treasure buried land dalielie to tree pyramids go to stand by the road. Only the temple is the ancient Egypt from the old dynasty to Ptolomie family Greece Pharaoh, three thousand years or so, endless cultural symbol. Stepped pyramid edges of the earliest temple to 200 BC the Edfu Temple, built nearly three thousand years, apart from the architectural model of the wall, almost without any difference.

Luxor Karnak and Luxor around the temple, is the top, or just have a different size, dozens of metres high, several people folded on the stone columns fail to reach an agreement, let people look up to to marvel at, under help but to other countries in the world did not know at that time still in production or in fruit chasing deer Meng archery.

However, all these temples, from tips to content, layman, almost no difference.

Pharaohs and Queens of the catacombs is the same, basically identical.

I am, take a guided tour in the Valley of the Kings and Queen Valley, one day, seeing no 3578 catacombs. Tired of the front elevation was overturned or, later, into a tomb, watch the fresco, two eyes, know what they are. Take two knife stand at the estuary, is the patron saint of the Tomb, Shi g beetle, which is representative of the Sun God, the veteran with a few things to a son of God, that was the Pharaoh in to buy the way money into heaven. The later, we went to a tomb, just think outside the Sun, the province was closed by air Tomb, smells strange astringent.

One or two months ago, read the book, The Soul of China, said that the cultures and civilizations have a development process.

Cultural stage, various thought their own development, to a civilization, thoughts while curing, civilization has been a model of sustainable development, but not a cultural stage of life. China's warring States period after it is stuck in the civilization stage, thanks to the geographical advantages, to ensure the smooth development of civilization.

All these many tombs and temples, are said to Egypt in 6 years ago reached the curing of civilization, and from this little in cultural development.

Alexander the great in Karnak temples carved himself a phase, side, his legs forward diverge, hands, sacrifice to Amen-Ra great God, his gift look like and three thousand years ago is no difference between the Titi Pharaoh, because it is Egypt people want Pharaoh, even foreign conquerors. Just like the Chinese people on the full 400 years ago people's expectations.

Egypt culture totally perished, today's Egypt were the Arab nation, and former Egypt may be no relationship.

Not that a tablet, no one knew that once had so many of the Pharaoh and many gods, and war and peace talks and leave a love letter on stone. Better Chinese luck, curing of civilization, thanks to the Chinese people more, and the West and South of the mountains, desert and polar North, East of the ocean, all within are admired this curing civilization backward.

Our day sitting in a tomb of King Valley is on the outside, surrounded by a myriad of yellow sand, the Sun is shining.

"How do these tombs are the same? really boring.

Hotel

Live in Cairo Sofitel Le Sphinx, Aswan accommodation Sofitel Old Cataract, the remaining few tianquan spent in bars on a yacht, leisurely on the Nile River upstream.

Live all Sofitel series. Cairo Sofitel down or up, but an average five-star hotel, rooms in quality compared to other countries is still a lot of Sofitel, slippers with no teeth, etc. This or that service quality is lacking. One night at the pyramids of light in the night, the desert climate, know singular cold at night, the room with the blanket, then put myself firmly around. Just to the front, front Office Manager do startled, but embarrassed asking us to catch our tour guide pointing out some time to the effect that this blanket is so precious, it is absolutely indispensable to bring out the door. Our tour guide about this a few days to get from ourMany rebates, fair-minded, said that the blanket is absolutely can bring out the door. Finally, the two sides signed compromise, I guarantee it's cross, blanket last sure a lot of areas in the back room of root hairs, so, it is quite sad eyes in the Manager's eyes with blankets out the door.

The Sofitel Old Cataract Aswan is greatly famous.

On the film, into a novel, Christie's Nile had members who live in it. Elites are in it too dark cave, on the left to the President, to the actor small stars, many doors also hung a bronze medal representing celebrities hotel will certainly live in this room. The hotel is old, 100 years of history, Egypt working people for maintenance of buildings and not particularly concerned, room everywhere showing the years past, only high roof, thick carpet, heavy wooden furniture, also left a lot of former glories.

The hotel's location and the scenery is not over time.

The Old Cataract Aswan scenery the best corner has to ring at all. The hotel was built on a high rocky cliffs, below, two cliffs, the Nile water leisurely turned a corner and numerous sailing sails Zhang, transparent slide forwards in the Sun. The hotel is next door to the city of Aswan, landscape down is the Park Old Cataract stand out most. We arrived that afternoon, sunset, accompanied by two New Zealand girls to experience the Museum's splendid culture went to Egypt, I too lazy to go out, just in front of the building of a cliff slid small table, two bottles of beer, watching the sun slowly down, the light from the transparent light into orange into subtle black and light little lit. Wind also slowly stopped, Cliff late return of the yacht, take down the sail, with two long oar, at the moment, with rhythm, to their destination.

Egypt had a United Kingdom and France's sphere of influence.

Foreign devil ' while in parts of the performance of all bad, but their petty bourgeoisie taste is unquestionably better. Ring, cover of the building, are excellent. Just like in China, from Qingdao to Xiamen to Guangzhou and Shanghai, the concession of a House are to today or travel destination. Egypt is also the same. The outside is rolling on the streets and desert yellow sand, garbage, and chasing the hawkers are claiming to give you a free gift, and then to go back to the point of free gifts-notes, there was nothing staggers submachine gun, very boring policemen, there are points beginning (not accustomed, Egypt and order special difference, so many armed police. ) Hotel, is an oasis amidst the desert. It has various color green garden tree red flowers, swimming pool of now where I lay in a only allowed for guests use of a small table sat, cool beer, watching the Green Nile water trapped in the soil between the yellow rock cliffs, leisurely flow are lazily.

I know I'm very bad to think only about their own happiness, but did not take into account issues such as how people are outside Egypt in harsh environments are struggling for survival, there is the swimming pool water is a desert country is how to luxury and waste, and so on, the idea of the moral right.

But I never met a completely honest, consistent, every minute of the moral right. I'm not, so I lean back and enjoy enjoy spending some money to enjoy the beautiful landscape and comfortable feeling.

"The hotel is really good.

Nile

Write in front):

Anthony and Christie, Petra is the Sun of love and romance between the Nile River.

As long as the sun rises, his magnificence and splendor will be projected on the River disturbance of the heart.

Especially in the wind, water, Sun also laugh laughing, each other like a pair of lovers, indicative. Then the River would have to close their manner of vaporization sweetheart, disregarded this love of pay is death. But the Sun is always high above the river that can do is to put their lives into colorful Yunxia likes to around in the Sun. Until finally, Sun burn it all, from a height of ambition.

When the setting sun of blood red river as a whole, they form the people relish the beauty of the tragedy.

(Body)

On the Nile, our upstream.

In the beginning, really surprised by the cruise ship's smooth quiet.

Boat light across the water, little noise, of course, the more the feeling of no wave. Accustomed to the Aegean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean waves, so smooth sailing for the first time.

Lying on a bed of large cruise ships, feeling better than land even more stable and comfortable.

Often, I need the curtains, look out the window on the behind the scenes to slowly move to find out whether the ship is in progress.

The quiet flow of the Nile to the day of noise and, in the Moon and star flashing green light under micro.

Chronology of light and shadow variable to shake, the passage of time, UPS and downs. Such a beautiful river. Such a wide river, I always thought it was my love of the Nile.

The days of sitting in a large white wind sailing on one hand you can touch to the River, there is some unexplainable touch.

Nile! the world is one of the oldest River. I could personally to skim a this gave birth to one of the greatest civilizations of ancient rivers in the River!

Nile is Egypt's life.

No Nile, Egypt is also not possible to live. Egypt 99% of people are living in a couple of kilometres on both sides of the Nile. The Nile water of alluvial, farmers can apply dry barren as moist fertile, some people depended ultimately also the crops to produce.

But the River, this makes the life of the Nile, Egypt is also creating a universally unique and great civilization.

No wonder they say, the mother of the Nile is Egypt.

When my hands to skim along a river, I think not civilization, I think of a dream.

Nile is not only a famous rivers, it represents the realization of a dream. 'Ve yearned for Egypt and the Nile River, now can personally touch,Luo River and the River, is it not that is a moving?

What's more, the Nile on wind so gentle, Nile stars shone, Nile travel so romantic.
