Day 4 (7th Feb)

ready for the MUSEUM! one of the most famous museums in the world is of course the Egyptian museum. over 100 000 exhibits.you cant possibly see them all in one day. so we only got to see about 5% in 2 hours.the sad thing is that you cant bring in your camera. obviuosly they want you to buy the postcards and books.
AND to see the mummies you have to pay extra 80 ringgit. But hey its well worth seeing 12 mummies all of them about 3000 years old.so incredibly well preserved. their teeth, hair and nails still intact.

nextvisit the khan el khalili bazar. the best and biggest bazaar in egypt. i dont really agree coz its so cramped. this is what all the malaysians in my group have been waiting for. SHOPPING!!!our guide Amir asked us how long we want to be at the bazaar. he took a poll. 2 hours, 2 1/2, 3 hours, 4 hours?majority said 2 1/2. fine with me.later he rang up his colleague Ahmed (who is also our guide for part of the tour) and said we took 2 1/2 hours. Ahmed said "WHAT???" i didnt really like the bazaar, so crowded, quite bored with those stuff. all are souvenirs. nothing much special.

met up with the rest of the tour at the meeting point (this cafe)guess how much they charged for a 350 ml tin of coke? 15 pounds!thats 12 ringgit! kena corn. they dun collect money once u serve the drink. wait til u open the tin, then onli come collect money. then when u noe u kena corn, is too late. u already open the tin. cant do anything.

ended the day with all smiles.
