Space-time interleaving trip-I in Egypt 18 days (D1)

September 21, Shanghai – Amsterdam – Cairo

Dream day-off

5: 30 in the morning to get up when parents haven't woken up, wash after casually eat something for breakfast.

It may be because sleep is not good, we feel very uncomfortable, but I didn't mind it, today is my long days I know nothing hinder my itinerary.

6 o'clock, the father sent me a taxi, the provisional departure gave me a hug, I value this feeling, after all, and then return to their home will be the 18 days later, who knows the time happen? a person to go to Egypt, laughing on family and friends say "don't worry", and not because they have answers, more reasons to comfort them, by the way also give yourself a little confidence.

The distant lands that have different practices, there is a strange beliefs, countless unknown thing is waiting for me, that is not afraid to be false, however she my temptation is too great, so let me desperate to go near her.

Many years ago, in New York's Metropolitan Museum, and my father took me to a lion with head, so before I made the acquaintance of the Sphinx, also recognize its hometown – Egypt.

Still treasured photos, at which there is little I and small Sphinx. Then grow up a little, know more about the story of Egypt and the Nile daughter tutankamen, Moses, Rameses, Creole Petra and Caesar ... They bunch up my heart in a dream.

Remember last year and friends look Mummy II, I think not and plot-related things, but I've always wanted to go to Egypt, realizing my dream.

But then, I always think it is too far away. Until one day, listen to a abroad students talk about going to Egypt, I suddenly had a "go to Egypt" and their own, perhaps really can have a try? Next year I try very hard, time, money and travel information for these I can solve the biggest problem is visa. From hopeless to hope, from hope to despair, I repeatedly close to Egypt, and away from her over and over again. Until the end of August this year, finally came in my miracle, father of Egypt friends say I'm on Egypt's warm and touched him, maybe, but I now really believe that life is a miracle.

Morning road car was empty, 6: 50 to get to Pudong International Airport, because sleep in the car, a feeling not so bad.

I am taking the Netherlands Royal aviation flight, because you want to transfer in Amsterdam, many visitors to the European countries are also on this flight, check in counter team very old Presbyterian Minister, and are big Pack small package, just like me back a small backpack, seem a bit strange. I was originally going to buy the air ticket is in Turkey, who know that by the end of August when booking was informed on 28 September previous seat only rows alternate, in order not to air this on the "little things" gutter upset, I do not want to take the risk, so it took more than 1 000 pieces bought KLM ticket.

In a lot of people don't know how long row, the team finally my turn, then discovered the counter on the sheet of paper, saying that it is sorry for the late to aircraft, today's flights delayed 3 hours, the airline as this gave $ 25 dining certificate.

Out of the customs, I had to idly wandering in the Terminal, he let me find a coin telephone, using just the taxi driver to find me a dollar a call home. Then go to the airport restaurant to eat a sandwich, and then just sit idle. Stay for a while, suddenly heard someone say "Egypt", my nerves were touched all of a sudden. The original is the terminal of TV in Phoenix TV's Millennium tour Egypt segment of the film, is really very specially, nearly a year to me be emitted various and Egypt-related things, knowing that lame, but still in mind it is your own and a margin of Egypt. J also stupid to think: if I don't get to go to Egypt, really sorry giftfrom the implied. And now look at the screen repeatedly broadcast India pictures, I still need deep breaths to determine if they are not in a dream, determine your really on the way to Egypt.

Giant Boeing 747 at 11: 15 out of me and my dreams take off the way I sleep wake up, wake up to eat, so I don't think the time is passing slowly.

Local time 15: 45 (Beijing time 21: 45) arrived at the airport until the armes Dan 18: 40 and then travel to Cairo to flights. The aircraft was cold, people also feel very tired, sleepy but always sleep uncomfortable during dinner, not used to the taste, had only a little. Those five hours later, at 1: 15 pm local time (6: åœ — äº¬æ — ¶é — ' 15) arrived in Cairo, I left home exactly 24 hours.

The Customs Department is very crowded, hundreds more number of people only four points, half an hour before to me, it turns out to customs at my passport and said to check and let me to the edge.

I'm a little worried because my father's friend Dr.H are waiting outside for me, the plane had delayed and delayed for so many times, now this, when you want to wait. And then ran to the edge, sat, etc check passport of all Chinese people, it makes me a little upset, ask another Customs, but my Chinese passport has a problem. His appetite, give me a brilliant smile: nothing, just check out the 5 minutes I know Egypt's 5 minutes means nothing, but the smile makes me hesitate to attack on the one hand, and don't want to just come here to get angry, we do hold, quietly sit back to edge. Good in less than 5 minutes, someone took my passport has emerged: OK, you go.

See Dr.H couples, they had been waiting for a long time, very warm, I feel very sorry.

They drove me to the EIN Summer University guesthouse, El road from time to time I introduced the airport road. new Cairo. unsung hero monument, and the exhibition center of China to build, and so on. Hostel room rate per night 77.8LE, serious exceed my budget, although conditions are very good, but also value for money. Dr.H buy me a ticket for the train to Aswan is 232LE, cost overrun of more serious, I guess he bought must be sleeping, but now we can only take it. We at the room discussion I in Cairo and after several days of travel to 3: 30 and 8: 30Dr.H agreed to meet me. They went after wash finishing to 4 points to sleep, I'm in Egypt's journey in this kind of tired and even cutting State begins.
