today wake up at 5am... the moring call on the crusie.We need to leave early as it will be terrible hot in the afternoon. anyway, now is spring time onli.... it is already veri bright at 5am !! after breakfast, we join the grp consists of Americans, Wales, British, Malaysians and sporeans. We went to the temples (again) all veri nice. Gp there need to cross the nile river from the East bank to the West bank. Along the way, see the ppl there all so poor. many small canals... just like wat we study, they have small canals for irrigation. the toursit attraction so many ppl!! so crowded... desert land. all sand. all brown. so HOT!!! then saw camels, donkeys and the kids playing so happily. stress-free!! unlike us back in spore.

then ya while we touring, the ship sails onwards to next destination. It act as a a mobile hotel. along nile river,, there are as many as 500 ships for tourist!! so imagine the no. of tourist here.. whenver we went, all have police with guns everywhere.. Every 10 tourists, there will be a policeman to protect us. they have a series of bomb attacks... the most recent one is just a week ago. there is a bomb at downtown cairo. so the security here is very tight. all ships has policemen. in 1997, the terriost took machine guns and shot down tourist down at one go. happened at, just where i visited the attraction. so crowded.. Just imagine how many inconnent ppl die.

Right now, on board. this cruise, the locals row their boats sellin carpets, bronze... so noisy outside,. Once you pull up the curtain, they will look at you and keep selling their items. bragain...so noisy.. lolX.. anyway now waiting for the ship to pass the river gate. due to the water level differcence... the ships had to go to a special place abd pump the water in so as to have the same water level at the next section of the river. you koe what i mean? aiya.. how to explain in worDs.. lolX.

wow!! the crusie ship is moving at last. we sail to this 'lock' gate. the water pumped in so as to continue sail on.. intresting. THe moon is round and ya time is 8.00pm .. wha.. so windy. if here standing with your loved one would be great. prefect! nice view on the nile river. then we have cocktaiol. which we would have to dance. there are 3 local women.. namely an old woman, middle age sexy woman and ya a young kid girl.. ( i tink is 9 yrs old ba) they choose an old man , young man and of cos they need a young boy. and shit, or i shld say ''yes''!!! they choose me. they rem our names.. in which i have no idea. as it was formal, we all dress nicely, some with tie, leather shoes.. and there i was in my white collar shirt and he say :'' Mr Jaren, the white shirt, come on stage!'' then dance la.. with the young girl she is HOT!! lolx... the rest is history.. =X
