Al Omma Fe Naksa

I was watching "Qalam Rasas" on the 15th of June... I have to say it was an amazing one, describing what's going on now in the Arab world...
I've been searching for this for a while to share it with you guys... I finally found it divided in five parts (since YouTube only allow video files as long as 10 min.)

Part 1 and 5 summarizes almost what happens... in case you don't want to watch the whole 5 videos... Just watch the top and the bottom video and you'll get the idea...

My Flight to London

That's an old post that I wrote 3 weeks ago while on my way back to Egypt... Here I'm sharing it with you...

Going to London right now… I’m on my way to Egypt, and my transit is in London… I’ll stay at Heathrow airport for 3.5 hrs or something.

Well, I have my iPod, my laptop, Twix (Yes, the candy bar)…Those are to keep me busy during this very long boring flight! I got to say, I’m not a flying fan, I just wish there is a better way to go to other countries other than flying (And yes, other than driving or taking the train, I’m not going to Egypt by train!)

Anyway, I was sitting beside the flight attendant after switching my seat with a pregnant lady to have better room and to sit beside her husband. I noticed while we were preparing to take-off that the flight attendant seat has an extra seat belt over her shoulders, and when I asked how come you got this extra seat belts, :-) Her answer was somewhat convincing, is that if there is anything happened, she has to be safe in order to help us when needed!

Then I had to reply, :-) If we are not going to be safe, then saving you is not going to be useful!

I watched a little of Will Smith’s new movie, and then I have to admit I fell asleep, because really, come’ on, it’s now almost 3:30 am my local time in Seattle, and I’d have been asleep for a while now! Actually my eyes still kind of hurt because I didn’t sleep much.

The local time in Cairo right now should be 1:30 pm… I should arrive to Cairo at 12:20 am… :-( Still long way to go! And I’m already bored! Aaaah! I really have to go back to sleep, I’ll just listen to my iPod in my ears and try to sleep again! I’ll see you when I’m in Egypt, that’s if I have time to blog at all! ;-) I’m getting married you know?!
