Cairo cum Alexandria

Cairo, my much awaited trip. Was glad there were ppl who were just as excited as I was so we went on a tour together..

7 days in porky-free lands

Am back from Dubai and Istanbul.. In Dubai, i ventured to a new mall, festival City. There's a Marina just outside the mall and it offers a nice view of the sunset.

my new pair of boots from Dubai

The next stop was Istanbul, aka Con-men land.. Everyone there seem to make a living out of conning.. We were conned when changing Euro or USD to Lira, when taking a taxi back from Blue Mosque, booking a tour and also when buying dinner at MacDonalds.... But i got to go Blue Mosque. Was heart wrenching to see that its former self was obviously a Catholic Church. I got a little emo and I stood in the middle of the courtyard and prayed.. But when i was back, Pauline assured me that that was nothing but a physical structure. It's the people who are the churches. Praise Lord and i felt better instantly. :)

Dunno what's the green plate abt but the colour doesn't go with the buildings.. bad bad colour co-ord

Ayasophya

When our set of crew touched down, we made an elegant dash to the food court for some good minced pork noodles and char siew noodles! Yummy! :)
