Hi everybody... I'm saying hello to eveybody from the Alexandria Library in Alexandria, Egypt. Today is my last day and I'm returning to NY tomorrow...man I'm happy to come back home... this is such a different culture. Just to give you an idea... traffic here is crazy.... It will take me 30 seconds, no kidding, to have a fatal car accident, there are no traffic lights, no stop signs, no blinking lights when switching lanes, no stop lights, forget it... if you want to take a shower here, there are no bathtubs... you have to stand next to the toilet where the shower is and wet the whole bathroom just to take a shower... and the thing that freaked me out the most.... women here are treated like crap, they have no rights, no opinions, etc... I don't think that is fair, but it is impossible to change their religious mentality. Besides all the above facts.. I love my trip to egypt, this is a beatiful country full of history and culture, I will post pics from the piramids and stuff... In the other hand while I was in Paris... it was beatiful, just like NY... the only thing that was crazy was a beatiful waitress at cafe in front of the Eiffel Tower that had hairy armpits...lol.. I thought this myth was not true.. I guess I was wrong..... Well I will tell you more when I come back..... by the way this how you write Celica GT-s in arabic:

dude the pyramids are not worth seen in person... =( The government doesn't protect them at all. The place is full of garbage, horse and camel ****, lots of poor people asking you for euros... yeah euros, not even dollars. It is dirty and sadly they willl be destroyed soon if they don't do something.

Wow you traveled back home on 9/11? I would have reconsidered that return flight date, but you're home now so it's all good. :D Sounds like you had a great time bro, where are the pics?! I would love to see the pyramids in person, and I cant believe the goverenment is letting them slide like you say. That's terrible.
