Tada… we are on the move… gonna go where?

this photos.. make me feel like… “Journey to the West” The 西游记… Egypt version.. and did you realize.. who actually guiding our Camel? is a kid.. and he’s just 10 years old.. -_-”


the whole journey is about 20 mins… so nice can…


this photos was taken by the small kid.. ya.. he took the camera and said that will help us take photo…

Camel.. bye bye.. we gonna go in pyramid now..

Yeap.. i did went in to the pyramid… hmm.. after the guide told us that.. is very deep… very narrow… very small.. and is not recommended to people who got heart problem, or panic attack.. etc… after all that.. i still decided to go in.. although i’m a bit scare… still.. not everytime will get chance to come egypt right…

how narrow?
here..

i got this photos from one of the web.. cause i didn’t get to bring camera in.. phew.. who knows.. after we get in there.. the pyramid guide only tell us that.. we actually can take photo with our phone.. -_-” and the best thing is.. we didn’t bring our phone…

actually the whole journey.. from outside to inside of pyramid… is not deep.. roughly 70 steps of stairs… when we walk halfway… i really feel like hard to breath… and feel a bit scare… cause there’s only one entrance… if anything happen to the entrance.. means.. we just stay in the pyramid.. phew…

after all the stairs… we will be guide to a small room which have an empty tomb…

oh ya.. there’s an entrance fees for this.. EGYPT 25… i think even they charge EGYPT 100 also i will go in.. hahaha.. is quite worth it lar.. cause can see how the pyramid look like…

After visiting the pyramid.. phew… i tell you… i went Egypt for so many days.. i nv sweat before.. till… after i came out from the pyramid… i start sweating like pig…


here’s one of the pic i got it from the net…

after visiting the pyramid.. next.. we gonna go visit the phinx… which is at the same area.. just that is from different angle…


woot… once we reach there we saw some setting up right in front of the pyramid… we guess that.. this gonna be our annual dinner place.. which is actually by the road side.. and get to see the pyramid… as well.. not sure izzit true…


come come.. take photos first…


hmm… there’s water near the desert…


let’s go in and check it out…


so many ppl throw money in there…


hide and seek…

will that be the place we gonna have dinner tonight?


war… so cute can? not yellow color one…

after visiting the sphinx.. then we gonna move to our last destination of the day…


yeah.. the Papyrus Institute…


this is the guide that explain to us.. how they make the papyrus…


this is the plant they use to make the papyrus…


first cut the plant.. then put them in the water.. the longer you put.. the more brown it will be.. the more expensive it will be…


they gonna roll the papyrus…


then gonna organize it


like this.. th en can put in the compressor…


this is where they gonna put.. for few days…


see how flexible the papyrus can be….


see.. after they did the papyrus.. then they will draw something on it.. most of the drawings they drawn on it have meaning.. for this.. is actually a calendar…


see all the art work they have in there… so nice…


they provide the services to write your name in egypt language on the papyrus you bought…

besides that.. they can make it like this boat..


in the end.. hehehe.. ya.. brandon parents bought this… nice can.. i like this drawing so much… and is not cheap… phew…

Egypt Trip 2008 Day 4 Pt 1

hobbies, photograph, travel | 238 views 10 Pilipalas »


Post for: 10th April 2008
Day 4 is the day i visit the Pyramid… yeah.. this is the day… i think i gonna break this day into 3 parts.. first is the Stepped Pyramid in Sakkara.. why do i want to break them into parts? hmm.. cause only this day.. i took around 590 photos… hmm… ok.. let’s start with the Stepped Pyramid…


On the way to the Stepped Pyramid.. i get to snap this pics.. a guy sitting by the road side…


at first i still get to see those normal buildings… slowly i see trees… river…


then more sand came in to the pictures…


And finally… the Stepped Pyramid. This is the Stepped Pyramid. A stepped pyramid build for King Zuser (c. 2650 BC). Across the Great Court of the Pyramid Complex of Djoser (Zoser) 2667 - 2648 BC), the second kin of the 3rd Dynasty, stands the Step Pyramid, located at Saqqara close to modern day Cairo. Click here to know more about the Stepped Pyramid


take a closer look at the pyramid… lots of stone wasn’t in place… this pyramid look so much different with the others that i saw in Egypt… the shape.. even the size…

Firstly… after we get down from the bus… let’s take a jumping photo with the pyramid…


then.. wow.. what’s this… look big.. huge.. and nice.. like those we saw in Indiana Jones… nice lor


so exciting.. don’t know how inside look like… let’s go in…. and have a look


there…. is me.. haha.. no lar.. just take a pic of myself first.. ya… i wear long sleeve + a short sleeve… then one more jacket.. HOT? not really lar.. got sun lar.. just want to make sure that i’m really covered… from what? from the sun of course…. how about my face? hehe.. face i used.. lots of SUN BLOCK d… so no worries about it…


Brandon.. don’t play around k… later you lost your way out don’t cry o.. kekeke


look at the buildings… i think is sooo magical… cause this building can stay here… for so long… imagine.. the architect last time is way high tech and better than current architect.. cause at least.. their technique can make the building stay longer…


hmm.. feel like go inside.. but.. scare later i forgot how to get out.. hahaha… so just walk straight… follow the team…


after some few minutes of walking.. then we reach this place…


which they sell things… lots of things… those things that we saw in khalili bazaar… and every where else.. ya… that’s why you don’t have to worry that you can’t or didn’t manage to buy the things from the previous place… cause most of the places sell the same thing…


the puppies… they look so hungry… and i think they are cute.. when i take their photos i was so scare.. i scared their owner will claim money from me.. cause our tour guide told us not to simply take photo of the camel… and so.. cause in the end they might ask some tipping for you… i mean the owner of the camel lar.. not the camel itself.. ^^ camel wont ask for money as tipping.. will ask for food or water i think.. wink~


this place look so ancient… nice


hmm… i think this is the owner for the dog.. ya.. was really scare when i take this too.. but i stand very far to take this photo.. cause i using the ZOOM lens.. wink~


keke.. yeah.. this one i stand super far…. to take the camel pics.. i think even if they saw it.. also hard to get tipping from me.. cause i stand really too far d.. thanks to the zoom lens…


and what are they doing? they are actually fine tuning those stone… they showing us.. how they actually make the stone straight and so… for the pyramids.. i think so.. cause the tour guide talk real fast.. cant really hear.. and i stand too far


we are so close to the pyramid… ei.. see the red spot.. what’s that?


is me.. i climb up to the Pyramid… took me so long.. OMG.. so tired.. finally get up d…


phew… i went up to the pyramid.. and sit there.. nice view from there… want try? hehe.. wink~


hahaha.. no lar just kidding.. how can i climb up to the pyramid… i think i go near only the security will come after me already.. i just taking that picture somewhere near the pyramids.. wink~


posing posing time


Brandon’s mum… posing posing…


hmm… seriously.. i need a tour guide… tell me story.. about this place…


ok… take a final shot with the pyramid… me.. holding the Stepped Pyramid


and here’s the group picture of HHC Group Agent… hahaha… although all of us cover up… but.. actually is not that hot.. or cold… just that we scare of the UV there…


OMG.. Brandon, don’t simply move the pyramid k….

After the visit of the Stepped Pyramid.. next is Lunch time….


we went to a local Restaurant…


as usual.. they have the pita bread.. and blablabla…


and soup.. the soup taste not bad oo…


and the best food today is this… the dessert… ice cream… taste so different with what we have in KL… not like normal ice cream… a bit like Baskin Robbin… imagine.. a local Restaurant.. serving Baskin Robbin type of ice cream… nice can?

and so.. that’s all for today… gonna blog more… about Pyramid.. tomorrow… ^^
