Everyone knew that when you visit Egypt, you need to visit the Pyramids!!! If you don't visit the pyramids....you have not visit Egypt. I am so excited during my way to the Pyramids...well after all.....just feeling normal.. hahahahaha

Well as a tourist, i am prepare that i will be con. Yes.. i got conned many times...the entry ticket; the camel ride; drinks; and people keep giving you things on your hands and ask for money or tips.







The Sphinx!!!




Although i knew that it's a high price to ride a camel as a tourist but i go for it. Pyramids and camel...the things you can't miss it in Egypt. Well riding on a camel is interesting....when the camel stand up, you feel like falling down from the camel....because the rear legs stood up first then the front. The camel is very tall like twice the height of the horse.







Below is one of my colleague from China. He look so alike one of my friend in Penang (LKF). People who knows LKF!!!!...it is look alike????

Cairo, Egypt..........here i come!!!

Hello everybody!!! i know it has been a long time since i updated my blog. I have been working in a Malaysia project so there is nothing much i can upload. Today i am updating this blog again because i am assigned to Cairo, EGYPT!!!! for project. Well i am quite excited as we know Egypt has a mysterious history for their cultures and infrastructures. Working in Egypt is not like visiting or touring Egypt like a tourist but live like a local and experience the Egyptians daily life.



During the journey to Egypt i need to transit in Dubai Airport. Unfortunately, i can only stay inside the Airport. Here are some photos taken in the Dubai Airport.






Here are some view of Dubai city. (Taken from the plane window)





After a few hours sleep on the plane, i heard the captain announced that we were going to land on Cairo Airport and prepare for landing. So, i look out the window and i was amazed when i saw the landscape of Egypt. I don't see any green, all their mountains are brown and sandy. Some are desserts.





Then i was brought straight to my hostel. Below is some photos of the surroundings of my hostel.





Below is the apartment i am staying.



Well good food is not easy to be found in Cairo. Anyway i still can eat some of their local foods but i don't know what am i eating, i just point on the picture on the menu. I don't know the name as well because the words is in Arabic.





On the first weekend, i visited their largest shopping center. Here they have everything from A-Z and even worldwide branded like LV, Gucci, Versace, Chillis, Starbucks and etc..... but their things is quite expensive.
