„ original

with all these nigative things that you can find  in egypt, but still egypt is a beautiful country, seriously it is original, everything here is unique, it is a beautiful country.

„ today is friday

today is friday, which means i will pray “the friday prayer” at the mosque. i was really waiting for it, i wanted to pray with new people, learn something new and useful from “the emam”, relax and get closer to ALLAH and start my first active day in egypt as i planned yesterday. walked towards the mosque, and before i reached, i heared someone shouting and shouting and shouting… the emam, he is the one who was shouting, anyway, entered the mosque, took off my shoes and sat down, start listening, and tried to concentrate to understand what “the emam” is trying to say, but seriously, nothing useful, and he started getting on my nerve, i wanted to leave to another mosque, but decided to stay and see where he is tying to take us. on the other hand, people were entering and throwing themselves anywhere..most of them.. they are not following any row as it suppose to be, they are not organized at all…
offf… i don’t want to continue this post, i will say no more about this….
and i am writing this post and thinking: what the hell is going on!!!

„ alexandria international airport

when i was in kuwait airport drinking my coffee i took a decision wich is i will just highlight the positive things and i will not post any negative things, at least the next 9 days wich is my vacation, but.. i changed my mind.. here we go:
the captain announced that we will be in alexandria international airport after 5 minutes. i  was so excited to see the airport since it’s my first time to land in this airport, and i expected to see an international airport [as they call it] but.. what the hell is going on, what’s wrong with this country, what’s wrong with the dicision makers in this country. what i saw is a nightmare, actually a nightmare is better than what i saw. when we will start taking care of our country!!! when we will hire the right person in the right place!!! when we will start looking to the bigger picture… what can i say, everything was awful, ugly.
and i am sorry to say that.

„ taxi

i read the post that mark wrote in his blog the tiltle is ” cab service”, he just remind me about what happened to me 4 years ago.
i cancelled my visa because i decided to leave kuwait, but i got a good offer so i stayed in kuwait, a year in kuwait with a visit visa without a driving license, wich means a daily use of kuwaiti cabs… should i say more!!!
yes i should … and i will.
