Last day in Egypt

Couple days ago me and my cousin tried to enter the museum in Cairo but failed because of his expired visa. Next day I was planning to try to visit the museum by myself but before that I took care of some stuff.

Went to UN to see why they aren't helping my sick aunt  because she's a refugee and she has the right for help through them. I got help from a nice person I met in Cairo that worked for UN and put some pressure on them to do something. I went to the Swedish embassy too and they will help to make something happen through UN. I probably gave them at UN some headache and if I did I'm happy of my achievement.

After that I took a taxi to the museum but the traffic was so slow that I walked instead. I found out big gathering of people along next to a building so I stopped and asked some people close by if it was an University and it was. I went in to check it out. Started talking with students and it was nice. 5 min later a guard came and asked what I did there and told him I was studying my master. He asked me for my papers and I just showed my passport and told him I didn't have some with me. The guard escorted me out :)

I had a nice talk with some of them outside before I left

I took some nice pictures from my trip and here are some of them.









Disgusting

Giza pyramids

Yesterday I went to Giza to see the pyramids. At the entrance they charge much more for tourists so I got annoyed about that. My cousins that came with me told me to shut up and go in as one of them. I did so until we got the tickets. Then I put a big smile and told the cashier behind the desk that I'm swede and went away to the gate with the tickets! In their face! 

A guard came up to me and stopped me because of that so we had to give him some pocket money to let me go in :)

The pyramids are quite impressive. Took pics and test drive the camels and donkeys. After that they took us to shops with the standard procedure "getting ripped" but I got myself nice perfumes which pharaoh used and some nice papyrus paintings. Will post pics later.

Now I'm heading to museums.

Heading to the land of of pharaohs

It's a place with history and I'm going to travel to Egypt on Saturday. It's not a planned trip nor is it vacation. Going to visit my sick aunt. To many years have passed since I last saw her and I hope it wont be the last. We need to remember that when we wake up for the day it can be our last.

If I get time over I will try explore Cairo, pyramids and maybe head to the Red Sea and dive. I've heard that Egypt got nice places to dive in.
