May be illegal in Europe's citizens more, because in the Netherlands Amsterdam transit routes exception, so when the door is strict inventory in China Customs, separate each squadron detailed visibility into the visa and tickets.

Sat 14-hour flight, local time, 10 December 1 am arrives at Cairo airport.

Crossing smoothly, the country's African aid strategies pay off, at least I cross the border for the first time when the customs officer friendly "Hello" in Chinese to me. Drivers Tamer sees me as seen returning to loved ones, he told me of the night to the airport have waited almost 1 hour. The airport to the apartment of the way I feel Cairo new city is better than I expected, very modern, the continent also flourish. But old sent a lot, a little like the status of rural China, House short, without Windows. Inside the dark, do not know whether it was live. Cairo say is also the capital of Egypt, Egypt's economy therefore description also needs to continue their efforts;

The apartment (13 Street 64, 3/f, no. 16) right after sleep, Saturday afternoon stroll out before find themselves staying in the Embassy district, all foreign Ambassador family area, many of the security police, my room was next to a police station in Maadi, huh, huh, it should be relatively safe.

Go on the road, to the Bank, I found that it really is an injustice in Arabic numerals. Arab countries even numbers are Islamic text, hand looks like one bug. Arabic was invented in India, because European morphed into the Middle East to study the Arabic numerals, so misdirected India people were buried behind the great invention.

Night one crossed the Maadi Metro platform walked to the edge of the Nile, watching enveloped in darkness of Nile water, trying to think of 5000 years of civilization in Egypt.

On Egypt civilizations really do not understand, so think of feelings do not know how.

But suddenly feel very lonely.

"War, soldiers, always come and go," this is a movie that's on the plane, looking at the Nile, you can think of "history and the river flowing water".

Arab States Friday Saturday, Sunday is the beginning of the week to go to work, wanted to see the pyramids, on Sunday failed to do so.

Sunday at work is relatively smoothly, together with my colleagues, I found the Department spends in mind and finally remembered from the apartment you can own the road to work is not lost.

Marketing Department colleagues busy I get a visa to go to Algeria, let me get to work more difficult areas.

Visit the pyramid entry is restricted, twice-daily 9: 00 and 13: 00, every time it is said that limit 200 people. So if you go back, we suggest that you first visit to the Tower; I am the first pyramid and the Sphinx swanning missed before 9: 00 to 11: 40 noon results ended outside travels, had to wait in the pyramid side 1: 00 pm to visit, in fact to Giza to visit the time 20 minutes, sufficiently;

Waiting outside the pyramid also met a Chinese tourists RMB cents a tip of the police request I give him will be RMB into Egypt pounds.

It is said that Egypt's unemployment rate reached 10%, even the regular employment of police also offered tips to see Egypt people live in distress. In the pyramid have two companies staff, all four people to play car to brusadin Castle.

We had to take a taxi to the Nile Pharaoh, at the edge of the famous Oriental Dance, also known as belly dancing; Pharaoh number is located on the West Nile Fish Market 100 m south of the bar.

This should be the highest consumption of cruise ship, so you can see the most beautiful iguana performances belly dancing. There is also a youth performances extremely exciting to go dress dance, do not know whether the "Sufi dance?" but from the viewing angle is the most wonderful programs; eat buffet and watch the complete show, came to the deck to enjoy the night scenery of the Nile. Beautiful Cairo with the Nile more charm. Disembarkation was performing before and at the actor's photos, of course, need to pay for each 30 Egyptian pounds of expensive costs; out of the cruise and we arranged to second-day 6: go to Alexander travel 15 collection. 10 lb. after a taxi back to the apartment, a day in the evening with a beautiful memory exhausted already gone to sleep;
