The END

Crazy dancing floor. BOM Bom Bom BOM for too many hours. Place like this fun for three hours, after it just makes your head go crazy. After the night it felt like a band, an elephant, five dogs and 15 kids and three monkeys wwere playing and running and screaming inside my head, BOMbomBOMBomboM

On saturday night Titten went to a crazy club. Next saturday will be the last night before closing The End. End party at the END. Eventhough it was still a week left, loads and loads of people wanted to go. Started to que at 7.30 was inside over two hours later. Normal London weather suddenly appears with wind and rain. Great time. Luckely for tamara did she meet some Boy Toys. Titten must say that english girls are not the most charming in the world,a nd they have some interesting cloathing style. Atleast in London you can go as would like to go.
The que to The End that never ended. We are here in the front of the que. It goes around a corner behind us. Crazy, crazy people.

Tamara and Titten. Bad hairnight for Titten.

GAZA in London- it everywhere



The middle east get so much attention. Kongo was almost in the media before everything started in Gaza, after we havent heared anything. The conflict there is really sad, but other conflickts and people deserve some media time as well. The conflict there has last for ever. It showes the problems one fatal decision can do with history both for the palestinas and israelis. Titten understand both sides, but they need to see each others themselfs too. If not there will probably never be peace.

When Titten was in London he walked straigth into a huge demonstration for the Palestina.






Weekend in London

Titten and a Ben, a Big Ben. Not too impressing really.

Titten went on a weekend trip to London to visit a friend, do some shopping and drinking. Titten had actually never really been in London before except for a night in a hotel when his flight for Mauritius for cancelled. A nice big city, with good shopping and clubbing. If you like musicals a great place. But Titten must say he has been in much more charming cities before.

Normally it rains in London, so Titten was lucky with the saturday weather. Sunny and nice. Photos from a short sigthseeing trip below with comments.

Three nice birds in the Hyde Park
Kvakk Kvakk. Some ducks in the park, so what was more natural than eating a fried duck for dinner.
and guess what, suddenly even more birds appear
Nice view from a bridge over the Thems river.
Piccadelly circus and a bus, hmm not the most interesting picture.
A palace a not too impressing palace, the Buckingham palace.

Shisha- water pipe


In Egypt you just must smoke some shisha.

The Pyramids of Giza

Titten in Egypt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yahoooooooooooo. Titten has now also seen the only remaining ancient wonder of the world. Giza is a place for tourists, but if you need to go to a tourists trap this is one of them. Titten and the spinx
One pyramid, and a second one. The second biggest is the closest one, the couple of meters higher is in the back
Titten at the viewpoint for all the Giza Pyramids
The spinx that has lost it nose (lookes a littlebit like an old eigties rockstar, that is not to popular anymore) and a pyramide in the background

They are amazing engineering work and they are the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The tallest pyramid is almost 150 meters (146,5) (ref wikipedia.December is a good time to go, since it is not as warm. To walk inside one is an interesting expirence, but nothing to do for people with strong fear of claustofobia.

Cairo


Cairo with the pyramids in the background. The city is closing up on the famous antic world wonder as we speak.

Th elongest river in the world, and the fruit to egypt the Nile is going through Cairo, here in the city center.

Went on a short trip to Cairo. A city in extream growth. 28 million people now. BBuildings beeing build everywhere and far from all of them is beeing finished. A new poor city in this par tof the world where most live for less than two USD a day

Hurghada

The Marina with loads of potential, but not enough people (they are in all the grand, and grander resorts, and the locals ar enpot allowed entrance. local kebab shop. mmmmm, good food and actually one of a few times Tittens belly didnt go bad after a meal.

Hurghada is a messy chartered city without too much planning. Places that could have been great just lost something. The big resorts is taking over the place and most egyptens go here to work to get some money from the tourists and send them back home. So do russian woman, that sell something that is not legal in norway anymore as from yesterday. Even with the negativ start it still has some nice spots.

A tip if you go to Hurghada, is to eat at some "dirty" local kebab places where the food tast excellent and go to old Hurghada for a walk. It is not nepal, or iran or india but it atleast give a small picture of how people live in these countries, still the tourists are too close.

Red sea

not the nicest beaches in hurghada
Titten with his first swim in the red sea. Clear, nice and loads of corrals, but a little cold at this time of year.

Our Hotel in Hurghada

Grand resort was our hotel. it was nice, but really big. Titten figured out he likes smaller hotels where it is easier to get contact with people better.
