Egypt Tour (Day 1&2) 4-5 Feb

Day 1

was in KLIA. was observing all those in my tour groups. there is 4 gurls who i think they are 2 pairs of lesbian partners. then a few elderly couples. then another family who got a grandma, parens n a son(dunno wat race but seem to be mix, grandma n mum is mat salleh,ok looking. )then another single elderly lady. i suppose i gonna share room wit her. all the while was hoping for some 1 young to share room wit me so i wun die of boredome.

Day 2

Bus to giza. visit 3 great giza pyramids. including the largest pyramid in whole of egypt. Built by King Chaeops.During the 3rd dynasty. (about 3100 bc)just some numbers.

it took 20 years to build.

But only 4 months used per year. so total of 80 months.

total number of chunky 2 tonne rocks=2 million. in other words, 25 thousand rocks per month.

(1 month =~30 days)

THATS JUST ONE PYRAMID!

there are a total of 107 pyramids in egypt.

next

sphinx

located at the foot of the hill where the 3 great giza pyramids are. sphinx is not that big la. but still, awesome sight to behold. the reason the monuments were built on a hill was coz in ancient times, the Nile river floods over. And the floods lasted about 4 months. hence the pyramids were built during the flood season.Khefron,Son of Chaeops, built the sphinx.

lunch.

then visit Perfume museum/factory and Papyrus factory. Of course they want you to buy thier stuff. HELL YEAH!

at first wanted to buy it. but a fren of my mum said dun buy(she went to egypt b4) so ended up dun dare to buy. but Junaidi bought 2 type. eucalyptus and secret of the desert.

according to egyptian, secret of the desert is used by egyptian lady, jus use 3 drop, 2 drops on their boops and 1 drop at their private part. n it will make their man like a horse. no wonder egypt is over populated....haha....hhhmmmm, so wats Junaidi going to with secret of the desert..gotta ask his gf....kaka

when explorers and excavators looted the tombs of the kings, they found a closed white alabaster (marble) vase. In that vase was an oily substance that smelled exactly like lotus. It was pure perfume! no alcohol. imagine perfume that lasted for 5000 years!nextpapyrus factory. this is ancient old school paper. of course they dont make it anymore. just for painting purposes.

finally hotel.stayed in Ameranti.(formerly Sheraton)quite nice lookin hotel with a nice pool. too bad it was winter. if not i already strip n jump into the pool...my favourite :swimming

ended day 1 with a nice outdoor bbq dinner with grillled pigeon!.
