She said that by the year 2000 dollars in Egypt doesn't work, let us change money, but the rest of the Bank at the airport, to give up. Night flights 8 MS961 El airlines take off, with stops at the point of Bangkok. Security check when everything goes well, into the Terminal there is a duty free shop, but in addition to other things other than cigarettes, seems to be more expensive than outside it. A sat-style pavilions surrounding a lake is located in the duty free shop, create a not in Yang's "Chinatown", more people feel the edge of the shop selling silk, giant pandas, etc. is covered of foreigners.Off-boarding another hour, XX hungry now.
Find a "good food, Chinese food, meeting" rush to yourself-pad a little things. International Terminal as domestic, domestic and great restaurants, KFC, cafe, ajisen, price and outdoors. Is it the people abroad are not eat?The journey has three accidents (unexpected surprises and depressed is XX is popularly known as the accident):

To travel 5 passport back two, it also seems to go back.Before boarding the go unexpectedly encountered the United States meeting of Wu.

The world really small Ah ~ ~ ~Aircraft is the 777-200, El route configuration is not good, no television on the seat and the game, knew a combined the "reader", 16 hours! machine readings are a lot of ArvinMeritor, happiness as a mutton, ZZ Act at a half-day said: "this is written from left to right, my old man", he took down! $% # @ ^ ^ & & $.
Then the third accident took place, away from home is to buy them when leaving because XX last check result forgot knapsack, slippers, it can only get Made in Egypt's slippers.4 and a half hours after the aircraft stopped in Bangkok from 1 hour, down at the Bangkok airport went WC, then looked at the one like small cricket-like Thailand, then boarding begins second paragraph 9 hours journey.

The aircraft had a total of three meal, ZZ eat, ZZ's invincible Kung Fu is eat eat eat and get to Egypt's second day, the regiment's sister had pipe we both called pig and pig wife's (one can eat, sleep, a very suitable match).On an airplane we watch are transferred to the Egypt, Egypt tour has officially begun! ~ ~ ~ ~
Down filled with our leader of the customs declaration form, and we swapped EGP.
Now the dollar only for 5.5 EGP, EGP also appreciation? ZZ took out a $ 100 in 1996, try changing the dollar's brother's eye. $ Brother got caught with their hands,Half day, English, said: "you can see the ~ ~ ~? anyway I see it. "~ ~ ~ ~ What ZZ didn't catch, anyway that they could very well. You can only change a piece of the $ 100 in 2003, and then on queued immediately. Anyway, $ 100, very long queue and immediately, sitting in a small window of Egypt staff seemed better than we also like the difference in down, slowly swaying. Such a step in a move that came out is 8.Team leader takes us on a 54 seater limousine bus (spacious), came to a House called "La Pass you a forgotten by the light" (full name forget!) of the hotel to eat breakfast buffet, breakfast very good.
We saw the ground reception in Egypt, on behalf of a company called Muhammad's 24-year-old single speak Chinese prehistoric, big handsome guy told us ground tour called Nana (not a handsome Ah ~ ~ XX regret), our first stop attractions waiting for us.After breakfast set off the car and go straight line of the first station, Egypt Museum.
Urban and street
From the moment the plane just felt the legendary airport Street features — was wearing black berets, rough, dressed in black uniforms, pedal black dumb soldiers, according to the company representative said Mustafa big handsome guy who is Egypt's unique tourist police, there are two common characteristics: each stay two eight-character excluding small, staff a Hu AK-47 submachine guns, and clone it out.
Airport Road, go straight, first in front of Rameses II giant statues, not know this Rameses II statue is true.
Street building is not very high, but is more tidy. According to Mustafa prehistoric said here live are dominating dignitaries, President Mubarak's official residence is also nearby, so that there is a few blocks and green uniforms, black uniform of soldiers, Red Hat, white wrapping legs of the police and the black jacket of the presidential guard. Hear the President to go out, road to martial law, do not know if you catch a plane to go out when the President is not the only pray to Allah.Car along Rameses entered the urban street, now beginning to see the true face of the city.
Looking dozens of towering straight mosque Xuan Li Tower, feel has placed an Islamic world. Other construction becomes even more special, get rid of hotels, houses, buildings or bungalow, two or three layers or more than ten layers, almost no outside decoration of roughcast. Some floor even following several layers or frame, and a location above has four have wall began to live, a true Castle in the air. According to the guide said that Egypt's average family inside decoration have carpet, looks very warm; the House look and own irrelevant, so can the province, that is unsightly, heard that the House had to cover wide will pay taxes, so we all have our own house looks like is not completed. This if in China, where can I tolerate this situation, our Government works for the "face" that is the very great importance to the Ah, give uniform flat-top floor and the roof of the "slant-little Red Riding Hood", Hutong reconstruction project, and so on, to show everyone the Government style. It was one heck of a country.At the morning working hours, the streets to cars, fast.
Road no crosswalks, pedestrian carelessly dressed. Small sleeping car, bus, horse, donkey vehicle should have. MU big handsome guy said, because of the crowd, car number, we basically do not comply with the rules of the road, vehicle rubs occur. But most people think that these Egypt are "God's will", so the traffic chaos, not many people in a hurry. Flash briefly room can see China's Chery and lucky that everyone excited.Black and white taxi are paragraph color, rags, look like the black and white mosaic of different color of welding together the car.
In the crowd and car group interim transition tengnuo, drivers have time stuck to sit in the limousine Barry of our happy greeting. Look at the taxi, but reminds me on the plane has just seen the Kung Fu Panda "in the Awa.Nile crossing Cairo downtown, few bridge spans the large hotel and bar is located on both sides.
Roadside pedestrian see we are happy to greet someone, then days we always encounter a greeting of passers-by. This is perhaps the person deal with Egypt national pillar industries-tourism industry guests of attitude, but I prefer to believe that it is the nature of Egypt's happy. However, to see their happy, they have quickly been their happiness.Car line to the edge of the Nile, see many couples in love in the River.
Before the Muslim customs have the misconception that people, not for the marriage of pulp in love. All with his face, how about you? (on line, YY, cannot only Kiss) this time, people are also free love. Goujiandabei not only, not premarital cohabitation. 1950s know? let's parents that people love, respect and love Egypt who now's way. But Egypt is not about the Communist ideal; but people now find Virgin to kindergarten.The road to see the famous Central railway station.
Is famous is because I know that here in the book stand Rameses II of stone, it is an absolute treasure Ah!! 3200 years ago stone carving. Later I heard that the square traffic chaos, air pollution, in the unanimous support of the masses, 06 years moved elsewhere (I wonder if is not is the airport outside of that), it will be and the new Museum. I heard that when it is moving large movement well, Cairo people jump up and down, excited, in August, a nocturnal journey, to the place we all cheer reverberated.Car line to the edge of the Nile, you can go far to see the river of the legend of the Cairo Tower.
Cairo tower height 187 meters, as the Millennium Tower in Cairo, Egypt by the late President Nasser Foundation, built in 1961, is the world's tallest Tower of reinforced concrete, Visual is the Muslims that pierced floral style. I heard that the Tower has a revolving restaurant, estimate when you can see the complete picture-expensive in Cairo.Picture-expensive Cairo
Not.When it comes to the Cairo Tower, ZZ post-return in second-hand book market and bought a book from the then Egypt Ahram editor-in-Chief of Mohammed Hussein Heikal wrote a book on the Cairo documents, "said the thing about the Cairo Tower: Nasser led the secret revolutionary society free officers drove in 1952, United Kingdom, deposed the monarchy was established after the founding of the Republic of Egypt, held up by Najib as head of State, but is in fact Nasser real behind the scenes there is real power.
At that time, Nasser think building a television transmission tower, is the heart of things to make money. At this point his intelligence officer told him that the United States who gave nadjib 300 million and full of colour that is used by the United States secret service of a great handbag secretly sent to Najib official residence and hidden in a safe. Nasser ask nadjib can have this, Najib recognition is true, explained that "when the United States President gave me solve some private transaction of funds", Nasser condemning the other side this is in the "bribes". Natural with Nasser's powers and abilities, he eventually gave the money all your back, and use it to cover up the Cairo tower now, $ 3 m makes this tower was extremely high pole pomp, said this is Nasser wanted to humiliate a United States person. Later, in 1954 Nagorny Gibson house arrest, Nasser became Prime Minister, and in 1956, officially became President. Estimated nadjib later life see Cairo Tower will feel like "that's my money cover Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
