Weihnachtsfeier GUC
Sand and other stuff
FROST
Folks…at the moment it is as cold as in winter times in Germany! OK. Almost. But I thought I am in a warm, if not hot, country! And now I have to leave my flat dressed for an excursion to the north pole! And if this would not be enough, someone send us a little sand storm. Maybe this is not too bad because it keeps you moving while weeping the sand out of your flat without going in danger to freeze…
el maadi… at night
week 12
collection of excuses…
“I thought we should hand in the documentation yesterday, so I left it at home today…” Yes. “Someone stole my model!” For sure. it was really beautiful. “Someone crashed in my car and destroyed my model.” T:”and where are the parts?” Someone crashed in my car and destroyed my model.” “I could not finish my work because of… holidays, closed shops, headache, the dead of the hamster, strange feelings, emptiness in my brain, the upcoming holiday…” “I have a sketchbook, but I do not carry it with me because it is too heavy.” “I did not know that I have to carry a pencil with me!” No Designer carries stuff like this with him! Really! “You wanted to change my grade, said that I would have a better grade, told me that I don’t have to finish my work!” Sure. These are the things I tell everyone… just to have fun…
moving again…
It was a nice time out where in the desert. At least I had fresh air from time to time. But as almost everything, this monk’s life will have an end right now. OK, maybe right tomorrow or right the day after…
I am heading for Maadi, a nice location in the real city of Cairo. I already saw some nice apartments and I have to admit – it is a small step for mankind but a big step for Dr. Nikola, as I am usually called here. Now I have to get used to come along by myself. A new adventure will begin. Kind of.
sightseeing
Just had my language course in Heliopolis. Strengthened with the things I learned just a minute ago I take a cab, explain the driver where to go and lean back. Bad mistake. Next time I focus on the street I find myself in a completely unknown area. Unknown for me as well as for my driver.
New Cairo is a nice place I learn. It has places I never been before nor I had the idea that they could exist. Huge lakes in the middle of the street, streets that end from one moment to the other in the middle of nowhere, empty but finished villas all along the street as well as completely dark quarters. A fairy tale with the cab.
Finally it took me 2 hours to arrive at home. The driver was nice. He tried to keep me in a good mood with cigarettes… And we had fun. He was laughing about our fate and I had to laugh with him. Now I know New Cairo. Next time I am prepared….
else…
zamalek and co.
