Tourist in Egypt – خمسة سياحة

I had some friends coming from the US and they wanted to visit some touristic places in Egypt et all.
So i decided to take them to a couple of places trying to *impress* them with the Egyptian *civilization*, anyway, since my last year experience with foreigners at the pyramids REALLY sucked, and was very embarrassing, [...]

Senany – ماى تيث

I broke another tooth today while eating…. it’s a huge piece this time and it hurts like HELL
so, what’s new this time? it happens to me all the time.
Well, this time i am abroad for a week (at least)…so this means no doctor (nope, no other dentist is touching my tooth, see previous posts)

Sports report – التقرير الرياضى

The African Cup championship has started this week in Ghana.
It’s a great chance for all the soccer hooligans and the football maniacs to express themselves.

I am not a big fan of football and I rarely watch any matches, so i found out yesterday that there is a match between Egypt and Cameroon at 7:00pm i [...]

Hallelujah!

Just 2 days after i wrote my post about the good sunny and warm weather in Cairo and how i liked it, and despite all the weather reports saying it will be cold, it still was warm and sunny….look what’s happening now

How didn’t i expect that? Specially being an expert with the Murphey’s [...]

Tree Killers – سارق الأشجار

I wish to know why and who cut all the trees in Heliopolis in front of Merryland and Mahkama square.
The trees have been there for ages, they were very pretty, rich and elegant, some a$$ h0%^#@#$ cut them off, i have no clue for the reason (selling the wood, maybe? some stupid decision maker decided [...]

Welcome 2008! – منورانا يا 2008

Looks like 2008 is gonna be a stupid, annoying, dull, unlucky and &*&^#@$ year.
It’s just the 2nd day of the year, and here’s what happened:
Yesterday, i was heading back home from work, having my radio tuned to NileFM, they had this contest of 20questions, where the guy asks the presenters up to 20 questions and [...]

50 Things I Hate & Love about Egypt

Anyone remember 2 years ago, when i had a *VERY* shitty day and i started the 100 things i hate about Cairo on my MSN nick?
A few days ago i read on the SM about the: “14 reasons to love Egypt” and his own “10 things i love about Egypt“
Which reminded me, where the hell [...]

Masr om el donya – مصر أم الدنيا

Egypt, is the mother of the world!
That is the exact translation , stupid eh?
For some reason, this popped into my mind today, and i thought i’d share this with you.
“Masr om el donya” was an expression used by the people from the country side and the south (الفلاحين و الصعيد) long time [...]

Sawires boycott – مقاطعة ساويرس

I can’t keep silent anymore, this is the 3rd time today this month that i receive this stupid email demanding to boycott Naguib Sawires and all his companies.
The mail is requesting the boycott due to what Sawires said recently on an interview regarding his TV Channel (OTV) and regarding the Iranian Hijab spreading in Egypt.

Am [...]
