Cairo is not at all worth seeing. :| It has some gems hidden well inside it, but for the most part is this dirty chaotic city with rude people only trying to trick you into walking in some papyrus shop…

Like I said, there are some gems there… the Al-Azhar park is one of them. As, pretty much, the only green spot in smoggy Cairo, any time spent in it is a pleasurable experience.
The pyramids are worth having a look, of course. The sheer size of them and the fact that no bulldozers or any lifting equipment were even invented at the time makes it some of the most amazing sights to be seen.
Not breathtaking as, for example, Petra in Jordan but well worth seeing. The best view of them was actually inside Pizza Hut… no pesky touts trying to sell you overpriced tacky souvenirs, cool and safe food to eat.
The Egyptian Museum is another big deception… so much history in such small space and no history or tags whatsoever. If you are a die hard egyptologist, that museum is wonderland… otherwise it has very little information about anything on exhibition. Tuthankamon jewelry is a show within the show and makes up for the ticket price.

And by the way… AK47s are plenty around the city… it’s impossible to miss them if you go through museums, banks, etc, etc…

I was re-routed from Korea to Singapore to take a boat to Mauritius and I was amazed with it.

Despite spending only one day there, I saw amazing things.

The most amazing was to see on the same street a Mosque, a chinese temple and an hindu temple. Just incredible!

Going from Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, etc… :D It is somewhat different from what people normally see in TV. But is just as amazing. :D

With Samsung and Daewoo shipyards near by, a flock of people from all over the world gather around here to work in ships and rigs.
It is quite a funny place to see the influences of this in the Korean culture. It is not everywhere you can find a restaurant with Korean waitresses speaking Norwegian…

Basically I got a job here… So my life is changing right now. I hope for the best! :S

Well, after spending some days in this place some locals confused me with an arab… because of the sun tan! :)

The desert, although being my first time in one, seemed like a desert! It is true that being able to look as far as the eye can see is amazing, but you can get that at Petra.

The thing I loved the most was really just sleeping in the middle of the desert with just a blanket and a mattress. The way the sky looks at night… it is unforgetable.

And… don’t forget to bring lot’s of water… lot’s and lot’s of it!!!

I spent almost a year planning the trip there… and it was well worth it! Great atmosphere, tomato, girls… lot’s of girls! ;) Only in Spain could something like this happen! ;)

A great tourist atraction.

The last supper is impressive. If Leonardo Da Vinci’s is the best, this one is second best.
