My Addiction to Sheesha

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 | By jreuter | Views [1740]

Luxor has been fabulous. This is, after all, my first exposure to what I consider "true" Egypt. It is a hot, hazy place chock-full of palm trees and awe-invoking temples. This was the capital city of Ancient Egypt during the 11th and 18th ... Read more >

Walk like an Egyptian

We were travelling through Egypt and Jordan with Travel Talk. A tour Company I had not used before and I have to say I was mighty impressed. Right from our airport pick-up the service was great! We left Heathrow at stupid-o'clock on Saturdy morning ... Read more >

my first rollercoaster

Fri, 8 Jun 2007 | By hpsauce | Views [895]

This is the feeling I had as we careened through the streets of Cairo. The driving style there is similar to Indo, but they don´t even bother putting lines on the highways since they know noone follows them (which i thought was quite efficient). There ... Read more >

Travel Patterns

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 | By taroso | Views [640]

Deja Vu I keep seeing the same backpackers. Now admittedly I sometimes appear to be mildly prosopagnosic. For some reason it took me six months or so to learn to distinguish Sophie Marceau from Catherine Zeta Jones, and the words ... Read more >

A Local Encounter that Changed my Perspective - Football. It's just a game

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 | By zita_whalley | Views [610] | Scholarship Entry

The setting sun leaks a soft pink into the skyline. The thunderous noise from the sea of red, white and black painted faces, contorted with excitement and fever, rumbles across the stadium. Flags are waved high in the air as novelty horns are blown and ... Read more >

You would have thought you could count on Cairo being hot, but it was a cool 15 degrees. Cryptic murmur of Egyptian Arabic all round. Walking head down and accompanied front, side and back by the implicit mass of humanity - caps, beards, skirts, sleeves, ... Read more >
