埃及之旅

放了那么多的照片都还没有异一一述说整个旅程。。。今天没有那么累了，可是还有很多东西和课本等着我。。。是的。。就说第一天说起。。。

在上飞机的第一天，我没有什么整理我的行李，随便拿了几件的衣服就走了。。煮了煎蛋，打包去kiev吃的，然后拿了我在Dubai买的Nike包包就走了。。。。从Simferopol到Kiev首都大约一个小时半。。那天是晚上九点多的飞机。。到了那边十一点。。。过后就等咯。。。等等等7个小时在飞去Hurghada...Kiev的飞机场真的非常的小，而且是很旧了。。。很少椅子让旅客坐。。。Kiev的天气很冷，在乌克兰的北部，那晚-11c。。。。。飞机场里没有足够的暖气，很冷，就像两年前到莫斯科飞机场一样，很冷。。整个晚上，我没有办法睡。。没有椅子，只坐在冷冷的推行李cart上。。。跟游子贞和几个朋友玩UNO牌 poker。。。。终于等到了。。。飞飞飞。。。四个小时到Hurghada。。。。有一件很好笑的事情。。。我拿的Nike包包，是我平时带去上课的。。。。在机场等候室的时候，我发现我没有好好整理，我连医生的听筒都带了！！朋友都问我是不是要到埃及去行医！！！！
这次我坐的是Ukraine International airline。。。。都是波音737-400。。。让我意想不到的是，空姐会说简单的英文！！！为什么我那么惊讶，是有原因的，Ex-Soviet countries 不是没一个人都会说英文的。。所以，这一次的航班，我给7分。。。没有了三分，是因为飞机太小了。。。。这航班不是每一次都有的。。。是包机。。。只有冬天，春天才会有飞到埃及。。。埃及的夏天太热，没有人会去。。。

Hurghada 是我第一站。。。奇怪了，这里的商店，都有俄文！！！为什么呢。。因为这里都是苏联来的旅客比较多，只费4个小时就到了。。。这里的导游，每一个大多数都会说俄文，法文，德文，英文。。我是说一个导游会说至少4种语言。。所以解说的时候，说完英文，就会说其他语言。。。阿拉伯人都是很黑的，真的像印度人一样。。。这一个城市是一个新的城市，只有二十年。。。在街上看到的是男人，做工的，都是男人。。女的跑去那里了？女的不是呆在家里，而是，这个地方还是很新，早早的时候，都是男人过来这里做工，开发这个城市，赚钱了，就会到自己的家乡去，这一个地方，可以说是像P.Redang这样。。。不要误会，这不是个岛，是在红海边缘的一个小城市。。没有什么历史建筑物的地方。。不过，是一个度假的好地方。。。我第一天去了逛街了!!这里的沙镇的很多。。。埃及总面积96八仙是沙漠，只有四八仙是人住的。。。第一天到了，风沙很大，街上都很脏。。。逛街，没有买东西。。。看看。。。。而且让我找到了我的KFC！！！！！！！吃了。。。。。半年没有吃到。。。一吃，真得很好吃。。。
好了，吃完。。又再去逛街了。。一路上有很多小摊子，都是买一些纪念品。。每当经过一个摊子，都会有人问起我们是从那里来的。。不是每一个人都懂马来西亚在那里，我就说是靠近新加坡还是泰国。。。。。过后，就到了每一间当地的旅行社。。。在乌克兰给的钱只是来回飞机票，住宿，还有早餐和晚餐，你要不要住或是吃，随你便，如果当天你要去别个城市，没有吃他供应的餐卷，也是你的事，总之7天的全包了。。。到了旅行社，就找找看有什么好的价钱到开罗看金字塔。。。找到咯。。。我们订了一天的沙漠之旅，海底潜水，开罗，还有到Luxor Temple。。。全部大约180美金。。。。

第一天，去了沙漠。。。每一个人一架沙漠越野跑车。。跑了很久，from one end to another took around 45 to 1 hr....然后一路上都是沙和石头，跟我在Dubai看的沙不一样，Dubai的沙真的是沙，没有石头的，然后没有沙漠越野跑车让我架，然后只是坐在吉普车里，司机漂移。。。架了很久，到了很多小山丘的地方，都是石头，很大的石头。。。就像一千零一夜神秘的阿拉伯夜谈里看到的一模一样，很漂亮。。。过后到了那边，就骆驼咯。。然后看当地人怎样生活，吃了阿拉伯餐，过后，有架回我的跑车回去。。来回时候，身上一定要保很多layers。。。包头，戴墨镜，不然很热，很多沙会进到眼睛里，see pics for illustrations...then go home already lo...go back hotel, then eat eat eat dinner, buffect actually....then went out again...the shops opened till 12 mid....i just bought a few bookmarks on the first day, afterwards, i went to Hardrock Cafe lo....had a pint of beer, blur blur then went back hotel. oh ya, i went to swim at the hotel swimming pool that night! it was cold!!! 7c!!!!!!
