If you're ever in Cairo, you MUST visit Khan el-Khalili market (and have Egypt's kick-ass fresh mango juice).. seriously, I love this place! Everyone is so nice and they don't even care to rip you off like every other tourist place in Egypt! Maybe that's because they get SO MANY tourist and you not buying it jus doesn't matter, another fool will :P Ok, I shouldn't say "fool", that's just rude.. And if you really think about it, you paying 100EGP for something Egyptians would pay 10EGP isn't really that bad because where you come from, your currency is worth 10x the Egyptian Pound (if not more)!
Ok, I'm so off the topic here ;p BACK TO THE PHOTOBLOG: I took these picturez summer 2008, a month after getting my Samsung GX20, I didn't know how to use it back then but I was happy with the results. I still think these pictures are alright, and this could be my only "unedited" patch of photos ;p Enjoy ^_^
P.S. I'm goin to Cairo for new year, so might visit the place again for more pictures (and mango juice). Will probably update this post then..
The market night time..
I never get bored of lookin at these thingz XD
I wish I had "pharaohy" blood in me! now that's something I'd be proud of! (ok they were evil, but they were also smart!). I'm half Egyptian but maybe Egyptian half (mum) is originally half Turkish half Albanian!
This shot could have been better..
Better?
I think this is an antique shop. Either that or it waz jus kewl!
Same shop..
Same shop; I bring you light

Same shop..
This is the "Hussain Mosque". Some believe part of
Al Hussain is buried there, others believe it is buried somewhere in Iraq (I think). I don't know. I don't care (we all deserve a good burial, but no man is God).
ANYWAYS, It's a nice mosque. I failed to get a good capture of it, maybe next holiday :-)
This is inside the mosque, assuming
Al Hussain lies here.
P.S. Al Hussain is a great Islamic figure. Some are very dramatic about his death (the way he died). He was a good man, but he wasn't the first nor will he be the last to dye that way! (Plus, death is part of life! right? I just don't get what the fuss is about! lolz). right.. MOVING ON.. ( get carried away easily! lolz!)
