The egyptian episode

Egypt... Land of the prophets... All that? Hell yeah. Basically the first impression anyone would get(well, anyone except for egyptians...) of egypt is:

1. Sandy deserts with sandstorms and shit like that
2. pyramids
3. skeletons in the sand
4. women in ninja suits, i mean, fully covered except for their eyes.

not exactly wrong that is, but in the event of you getting to where i am, that is Alexandria, its a whole different story. Lets see, seaside, no pyramids, sand... ummm lets leave that to that, and women here are very liberal. Most of them wear the hijab, headscarf, but there is none that would come to you and say 'hey motherfucker, why the free hair?' or 'hey motherfucker, why did you pierce your ear?'(for guys). In reality, the ones who do this are sadly, our own people, the malays of malaysia. I will save that for another entry, believe me, i can go on and on about it... But right now, this entry is solely for egypt, and so far, egypt has offered me so many, opened my eyes to reality and i believe it has more in store. From the random walks around town to just chilling out at the coffee shop(fucking good coffee at that) egypt has truly wowed me.
