Animals in Egypt

There are so many animals in Egypt.

Most of them are the hard workers which always carry for humans.

I really can't image if I have to stay in this kind of hot weather and word forever.

Well~ at least some of them are not been eaten la.

But to watch and observe those animals when I traveled in Egypt really increase lots of fun!

They make the country become more vivid and lively~

The cuttest animal - dunky!

I really want to have one in my home~

I will ride it to school everyday!

Cat~

So many cats in here~

They are the guard in the ancient Egypt which means they have a blessed meaning for those local people.

Camel~

They are really huge and stinking!

However, sometimes when I saw them carrying on some "heavy" riders, they will make some strange noise... That is a little bit pity... in Chinese I will say : 難為你了...

Hey! Hey! Watch your manner! OS: Oh... Please give me some....

Cattle~

See~ There is a cat in front of them.

The cat there is really a arragant animal.Dog~

It is really really hard to take some photos of dogs.

They are quite few there and looked like so innutrition...

These three dogs are lyng on the floor to make them colder...

I believed all of toursits want to do that as well XD Sheep

Oh~ Poor sheep~ all of the food are been eaten by cats, they can only eat garbage.

Cats are really all around the country~
They don't afraid humans at all~

Maybe they are happiest cats in the world...

I hope they will not carry some virus or something else...

Horse~

It seems this poor horse carried a too heavy passager... ><

But I believed that is because I gave him the wrong instruction~ Pull too hard... This cat is simulating those dog.

God~ Really hot~

Sheeps ate trash again~
Those animals for me right now, they are really suitable to appear there.

I can try to understand why those sheeps will eat garbage and those cats will be so cocky~

They are really interesting and funny~

When you next time to visit there, don't forget to find them out~

Sinai - Moses

It is a sound track of The Prince of Egypt.

When I heard the song, the memory of the choir competition in my Frenshman age is coming back again~

I suggested you can take look of this sound track first, to take a look the Sinai in the cartoon, then you can compare the real and the painting one.
I believed everyone heard the story of Moses who helped Herbrew running out of Egypt.
And I visited many sites of this story in the old Bible this time.
It is quite amazing~
Moreover, I thought Mt. Sinai (西奈山) is the best place of Egypt!!!
To see the sunrise of the Mt. Sinai, to walk the same track as those people in 4000 years before, what else you can blame?
Well~ I didn't see the Decalog (十誡) on the top of Mountain la~ pity~

In order to see the sunrise of Sinai, we have to sacrifice our sleep and prepare to climb the mouatain.

It may be the toughest part of our trip.

We left Dahab on 23:00, and arrived the food of the hill on 01:30.

Guess what~ That's right, we should start to climb the mountain la!!!!

There were so many others groups, for example France, German, and India.

It's so surprising that there are so many elders.

Did they know that it is be a tough job for a young man, not to mention them. XD

I thought I worried too much.

When we climb the mountain, there are so many camels waiting on the side to carry on people.

They will be the saver for those elders I thought.

It's quite interesting that we have to watch out the shit of camel and the stones when we climb.

Well~ don't forget there is no light on the mountain, we can use our tiny flashlight to point out the direction only.

It's really remarkble I think....

Ha~

The last 30% of the mountain was the toughest part, even though the elders should get off the camel to climb by theirselves.

I was so happy about that, on the other hand, I know that I will have a difficult time for that...

I remembered my legs were shacking, and the sound of my mind just keep saying: You can do it!

I made it~ we were there!

Our speed climbing the mountain is really quick, we are almost the first team arriving the mountain.

And that will be 4:30.

The next challenge is coming, it's so cold on the mountain.

We need to wait until the sunrise... oh man...

That's why there are so many venders trying to lend blankets for people there.

I just did my best to fight the cold, and I am so proud that I didn't spend the extra money for that.

When the sunrise came out, people start to take photos to remember the great work of god.

A box of some products and souvenirs~

Poor Camels~ They can't sleep all night long with us... ok ok~ don't be angry~
The astonishing viem of Sinai The temperature changes is really big... I only wear a T-shirt that time~
A old church in the foot of Sinai~ when I arrived there, I can barely stand...
The hansonest Arabian in the world. I an Raymond all agreed with that. He asked us to stop or to go all the time. Surprisingly. no one said something to refuse or what. As we take a deep breathe, he just look like nothing happening... And take a close look of his shoes... how can he climb so fast and stable..

Mountain Sinai has lots of meaning for some religions, and I am so glad to be there to see and to feel how great work of the god!

Although it almost killing me climbing the mountain, I still think it is really worth to do that!

By this chance, I am closer with Moses and god, right?!

MV by me~ the memory of Egypt

Bahariyya Oasis - Black & White dessert

My favorite photo in the whole trip~

(As I came upon on the dessert~ It was sooo painful~ I almost teared out...)

It is really just like a fight for us.
If we want to visit the Oasis, we have to take 8 hours bus (without AC).
You can image how hot the bus is....

On the bus, there are many foreigners, I believed they all would like to visit the famous dessert.
Normally, it will be better to book the tour to dessert in Cairo.
The price is always cheaper than booking in the oasis.
Because in that moment, you don't have anything to bargain with those gready people.
I just met a Japanese couple, they are the only one who didn't book in Cairo.
As they arrived Oasis, those venders just surrounded them, just like vultures.
Although they told me happily that they got a good price, well~ only three times of my price.
But just like people said, you should say your price is the same to others in case destroying others' mood.

For me, I thought it is the best trip in my Egypt trip.
I will never forget what I see in the dessert.
I also will always keep in mind how beautiful the sky at night is.
There is no light at all... so silent... you will be easy to think many things deeper and clearer.
I like it very much.
Of course the delicious dinner also gave me a great image~
Although the guys took us to the dessert still sat in the corner eating by their own.
I really hate the feeling which defines the higher and lower level.
We are all human beings~ for me, it is not necessary to seperate so clear....

The sunset in the white dessert~

The crystal dessert~

The black dessert~

It is really more tasty than you think!!!

If it is true (I am hitchhiking~), I think I will cry....

See~ there is a sand storm in the back~

One independent kid went to buy a bag of juice in the Oasis~

We are waiting on the Jeep, and it is soooo hot in that moment...

To live in the dessert is so amazing~

I will recommand everyone who should try it one time in your life.

Try to image, you have to shit and pee in the dessert, at the same time, you have to take a look around.

There are some animals all the time~ even you don't see them~

I still remembered when we waked up, many footprints of jackals(guess) are surrounding out bed. (We slept on the blanket without any cover~ the whole sky is our ceiling!!!)
Can you fight the tempation??
Ha~

Giza - Pyramid

Please listen to the song when you take a look of this paragraph~

Ha~

You will feel more about that!!

However, I am so sorry~ We can't take the same screen as her, she lived in the most luxary hotel...

But I am so surprised that she can take some many films without people in that.

It is too hard because too many tourists there, for example, me~

As a result, she said they are threatend by someone there... you can image how exaggerated is that...

Well~ I should say something about my trip la!!!

Acturally, There are so many pyramids in Egypt.

But the three big ones in Giza was the most beautiful ones.

And they also suited in the Cairo region.

You can attain there in 30 mins by Taxi or Metro~ so we went there as we arrived Cairo.

First of all, let me introduce of the members of this trip.

Besides me, there are a Hong Kongese - Raymond and an Ausi - Daniel.

They are really good partner for trips~ I am happy to visit Egypt with them!!

Then, I should say the people in Egypt, if they can speak in English, 95% of them will be a bad guy.

They will do their best to cheat you and force you take some services or products from them.

It is also been tkaen the biggest challege when you visit Egypt.

We three took a taxi to there, guess what, the Taxi driver took us to the camel market directly.

Although we planed to take a walk by ourselves, they just kept saying something it is impossible or something like that to ask us buy their package.

It is sooooo annoying....

We can't believe we needed to face it in the FIRST stop.

Thanks for the bargaining by Raymond, we got a OK price to take the horses but camels.

Maybe we cut too much price or what, well~ it's time to walk into the dessert.

The venders said the camels will be lazy in the dessert, but who knows XD

As we left, there were many kids surrounding us trying to hand on with our horses.

Our guide, such an ass hole, picked one kid and asked others leaving~

The poor kid just followed us walking in the dessert (we rode the horses...) for 2.5 hrs.

He is around 6 years old, but he didn't go to school at all.

It was really tough for us to decide should we give him tips or not.

We thought if we gave him some tips, he will think it is a good way to get money and keep doing it.

He will lose the chance to study forever.

IF we didn't give him, his poor and pity face just like a sharp knite plunged into our heart....

I and Raymond decided not to give him anyway.

After that day, we kept discussing about it. We tried to find a best (how can I say best, it is so tragedy...) solution for that.

And we still believed we did the right thing.

I'm so sorry maybe you are expecting to see some interesting trips in this blog.

However, those tips issue will be the huge parts of our Egypt trip because we traveled by ourselves but with a group.

Ha~ Well~ It is really amazing to see the pyramids standing in front of you la!!!

Each pieces of stones is higher than me, how can the old Egyptian carry those stuffs?

In some cases, I prefer to believe it was made by Alians.

Pharaoh created lots of master pieces in the hot land.

They became the tools of money making of their descendants.

I am still willing to pay the money to see the great works in the history.

Egypt

It is my first time visiting Africa.

Well~ It will be a remarkble memory in my life.

Not only the incredible architectures but the "variety" people there are so conflicted and unreal!

I thought I need some time to digest those million words from my mind and try to write them in words.

Let's see~
