Luxurious Luxor

This place is insane. It's like...no, it's not like anything I could really say. Miles and miles and miles of heiroglyphics carved into stones. The Avenue of the Sphynxes, the Temple of Karnak (one of the ancient wonders of the world), the Tomb of Tut-Ank-Ahman...it's insane. Everything was painted, and we can see traces of the original color - we're talking over 4,000 years ago. Insane!!!!!!!!

I still don't like Americans very much. "Oooh, I took a picture with 4 Arabs!" as if they were one of the sites we were seeing. It makes me want to vomit.

Other than that, life has been pretty good.

I'm in Egypt!

When I write a book someday, this will be on the jacket sleeve somewhere. It's just such a stereotypical picture of an Arab. To us, this is picturesque. This is the Middle East.

But it's not the Middle East. Everybody doesn't look like this. This photo will help sell my book, but the reality is that this guy was so completely abnormal to my experience in Irbid, that even after having become somewhat acclimatized to this part of the world, I wanted to take a shot of him.

I am having a hard time dealing with the other Americans. They are just such idiots. They're good people, but it's frustrating how little they understand about this part of the world.

Is Saddam Hussein responsible for the death of 2 million people?

Egypt is totally completely absolutely incredibly different. It's a different world. I can't even tell you how....WEIRD this place is. More on what I did later, first I want to sleep.
