August 19
I and cook about 5: 40 in the morning in my home, I estimate downstairs to see almost no 8 point should be able to Beijing airport, so that I would be calmly, first hand, always be careful that proved I was wise, and sure enough in hasn't arrived yangcun high-speed, car is suddenly stopped, day, what worries me most was a curtain, traffic jams, fortunately, Cook along road shoulders stops, finally booked, no delayed too long in the past, and at 8 o'clock arrived.
Beijing airport and Paris and Egypt is, nothing else, people, is too much, and so I dragged into the box, the team found only after the longest of which is to Air France 's, well, a bar, how to get noticed the number of people in France? A good fantasy I immediately think that the Chinese people, there must be carried away to escape the fact of corrupt officials, has proved once again that I guess, in the boarding time police arrived, requires Air France staff to see a certain time (total 4 people), it stopped for a while my attention is once again to spread of queues, Air France, purportedly the most punctual plane this time 40 minutes late, good in the captain of the sorry about his will strive to shorten the flight time arrived, made me feel a little relieved, because I go to Paris to catch up after two hours from Paris to Cairo's aircraft. Road talk, just simple and one next to the mother and daughter to France, they talked about a family of four vacation to China travel, mother is a very nice person, keep an eye on the ticket, tell me how to go France airport, I like this "nice" person, make me feel warm.
Than I thought but also smoothly, in a 10 hour flight, I finally set foot on the land of France, but also in 2C Terminal easily I came out of the gate to Cairo, this time to Cairo, the aircraft was delayed for nearly 40 minutes, I'm still nervous, because my visa in the evening of 19 August 24 point expiration, and normally I should be in the local number to 10 pm, late in my imagination to Cairo when many customs, days, will not be deported back to me now, and over 30 hours of flight to my little life?
This is my Vince, Cairo airport a few of the poor, in only three of those who pick up, I glance to see a bit of Egypt brother holding sign my name, happy! In the distant Egypt see their loved ones. Out of the airport, a taxi all the way to the Moon, to my surprise, Cairo streets very nice, spacious and clean, no books written on donkey carts and camel? The car is good, many young people with a good car, they should be a rich man, clothes look good, and driving down in twos and threes, the rich man's life is good, where are the same. Then drive to a large intersection, many people sitting in the street side of the small garden, this is not the famous liberation square yet?? Egypt people really love that big night, this square is so hilarious, wearing a robe of Muslim groups have a day, but more was a man and a woman love together. But this time I also got my waldseemuller Smith hotel, Cairo was one of the most modern hotel.

Until the next morning I go in my room's balcony, found that the world civilization of the Nile is coming slowly flowing, so I took the Nile is the first photos of Cairo, a crazy beat, thought you had to be answerable to the total of this morning's key findings. 7: 30, I set off on the backpack, I may be too early, no one on the road, the visitor will I slapped a, also, with two camera shoot, left and right pictures, digital cameras, and traditional camera turns into battle, really busy. Egypt Museum 9 points before the door, I had to sit down at the liberation square, side open book side, etc. Question of boring, rose walk around the Museum, go to the rear, discover Cairo tower was originally just across the River, this is the symbol of the contempt of the United States, so simply take time early, cross the bridge close to point to the Cairo Tower and a small mosque and crazy took a pass.
Had to wait until 9 o'clock, bought tickets through the security check, I was told that the camera is not allowed to bring in a Museum, even though many paying is out at sea, is me, an old man appeared, like a staff, his chest of small plates on his name is Sayed, perhaps because his English sounds OK, bargain, I decided to invite him to be my tour guide, by him to explain this museum relics later stories. Facts have proved that this decision is correct, such a huge Museum no explanation does not work, let alone the many artifacts only a very short introduction to the English language, there is simply no. Egypt, this ancient country, it is impossible to imagine that the station's statue in front of you is 4, 5 thousand years ago, even in the small garden in front of the large museums, the statue is thousands of years ago, just so the pendulum in the yard because there's no place that day, which is Egypt. The door of Rameses II statue, mummification bed, huge sarcophagus, these thousands of years ago, you can go into it, with the hands touch, feel the history of the vicissitudes of life and incredibly. On the second floor, I bought King Mummy room tickets, because I know great Rameses II will lie in the inside, the old Egypt history's greatest Pharaoh, his Mummy 1976 sent to France at the airport, the exhibition, still under President
The guard of a Grand welcome, we can see the world on his respect. Thus the door, I forced myself to go see his Mummy, I took him to remain in the final. Great Egypt who invented the Mummy, that makes us these thousands of years people still can see the distant legendary people, they lay in front of you, keep you filled with doubt and have to believe in the truth of history, after or exclamation exclamation, because you can clearly see the Pharaoh and the Queen for their thick hair, teeth, nails, and the shroud. I carefully through the glass watch Rameses II Mummy, his one blonde hair, very nose, slender hands, they make you hard to believe that he was dead 3200 for years. I left him is 50 cm, but we have separated 3200 years. The next figure Tan scammon's Golden mask, his glittering of funerary objects, and even his childhood seat, he died after loading offal of Alabaster sculpture into a tank, Pont-a-piece is so exciting. Pharaoh died the construction of the pyramids and temples, is even more difficult to imagine how the life of Pharaoh lived how luxurious life.Quick browse in museums for three hours, Sayed took me to a sell paper sedge painting shops, spent 300 El points bought four pictures. Because today is Friday, but he is at noon, so Cairo streets resounded from the mosque of chant sound not decisions to the ears, let all his followers anywhere you can hear the call of Allah Ala. Unfortunately, I did not see a pious Muslim knees in prayer, maybe like Sayed said that believers are at home and prayers in the mosque, thus always busy Cairo street now quiet a lot .Sayed may look out I am not good at bargain, so he asked me if I was not willing to afternoon then asked him to do and see in him the wizard directly to swear by Allah, Allah's sake, I agree to pay 150 Egyptian pounds to give him asking him to be my full-time guided tours, which include tickets and fares, of course, most of his tour fee. After lunch we went to the city through the old city, we visit the main attractions is the Muhammad Ali mosque,-Egypt all the mosques of representative. We will have had their prayers, many local women's and child sitting outside in the Hall, the Hall is more sporadic and tourists on the floor to explain, at this point of guide outdoor temperature may be 35, 36 degrees, but very cool in the Hall, who was not qualified European tourists almost everyone was forced to put on a big green robe, looks and this ancient mosque quite perfectly. But in any case, when you see those Arabs, or are moved by their piety.
Out from the mosque, I went to the prestigious Baxter Khalili market, this legend of Ali Baba and the forty thieves story opening, curious I hope also to have some adventures. HA, HA, one enters the market, my eyes would be immediate colorful products attracted, and splendours of pipe, colorful jewelry, jewelry shops, as well as those who constantly and I said hello Egypt small traders, have made me feel fresh and interesting. In a large sell paper sedge art shops, I also cannot withstand temptations, bought a lot of paper sedge art. In the following days, I went to two rare Khalili market, I like this long history, the mystery of the market.
20 August
Once again I believe Sayed, inviting him to be my tour guide, according to friends of today I am going to Sakala, dreams, and Giza. Because he told me that I, ALA testimony I never give anyone this price, so I'm willing to believe that a person of faith, as long as they do not exceed the ceiling of my, I don't want to care too much .250 El lbs, including tickets, travel expenses and his guide. An early morning at 8 o'clock, we arranged to my hotel at the entrance, they, today I'm going to see the pyramids. Our first stop is the Sakala, go on the way we Sakala passing a small village, the driver told me this is Egypt's real life, so I like the way like a reporter, lift the camera kept to those local people take photographs, head of the women, they embrace kids and kill women, the elderly, to the donkey riding out the sheep's child, as well as bare feet in the field work of man, this is left, only an hour away from the village, they also lived so backward life.
