Ibn Batota “Backpacking Europe Solo”

May 9th, 2008

بعد ١٥ يوم أبتدي رحلتي التي بدآت التخطيط لها منذ أكثر من سنة. اليونيك في هالرحلة إني مسافر بروحي لأوروبا لمدة ٤٨ يوم، كل اللي معاي جنطتي على ظهري و الترين باس بمخباتي. أبتدتي و أنتهي رحلتي بأمستردام. السكن راح يكون على الحكاك و البدجيت ليميتيد (تفاصيل أكثر عن الرحلة لاحقا).

كل ما أقول لأحد عن رحلتي يرد علي ب”مجنون؟” أو “ليش بتسوي جذيه بعمرك؟”. أبي أتعرف على ناس غير إللي مسافر وياهم. أبي أشوف الديرة من تحت لي فوق و أكيد أبي رحلة أتكلم عنها لمن أشيب!

The future..

April 4th, 2008

It could be next year
It could be next summer
It could be next month
It could be next week
It could be tomorrow
It could be next hour
It could be next minute
It could be next second

But, Could it be yesterday?

Holocaust-ism

March 22nd, 2008

Holocoust museum in DC

I am thrilled by the amount of effort that has been put into the holocaust museum in DC. It’s a four floor museum, full of pictures, videos and models.

We spent three hours and needed at least couple more hours to finish the whole thing. You start the museum on the fourth floor and proceed to the first floor. It’s dark and quiet. It seemed like we were walking through a funeral!

I finished the museum with mixed feelings. I didn’t know how I felt about the whole thing! For sure I feel sorry about what happened to the Jews during that time, but shall I hate the Germans too? Shall I feel sorry for the Jews today and justify all what they are doing because they’ve been victimized in the past?

I would love to hear you opinion, so I can get my feelings straight.

Vegas trip – Day Seven – Backing home

July 25th, 2005

It is raining and cloudy out side, I waked up so late and I have to back my bags, thrown my clothes in messy way and closing the bag is all what I did, I had a feeling the backing home won’t be much bitter than the last one.

Arrived to the airport at 9.00pm on Vegas time, there is a problem with my ticket the system is unable to issue boarding for the whole trip that’s mean I have to check-in again and that’s not a big problem since I have plenty of time on new York (about two hours transate), the plane (American West) still have that smell and dirt, there is noisy sound came from the plane, I was sitting next to a group of old black ladies they were so funny, they kept commenting in a loud sound someone of them describe the sound like an old washing machine –can u imagine the sound now!- they captain announce that it is a normal sound coming from the hydraulic system of the plane, we moved to the runway and waiting the plane to take off the captain announce again that there is a red light shown there is a problem on the engine and we have to back again to the gate!, I know it’s not my lucky day, we backed to the gate, I looked outside and here were the surprise it seems there is no engine failure they just have forget to put on some bags on the plane, big fat layer pilot, then he announce that they are doing a paperwork! Ok paper work it is, it took about an hour and a half that’s mean I only have half and hour to check in again on JFK.

Arrived to JFK after five hours on a washing machine, running to check in again, he print out a boarding card and tell me that I have to check it on Heathrow, we were bit late because we arrived late and they have to put on our luggage from the other plane, the plane was almost full that’s mean people aren’t afraid to fly to London.

Heathrow, I checked my boarding they reprinted me new one, and someone told me our gate number is 24, and we only have one hour, I went to buy some chocolate (Yeah the new mars), then I headed to gate 24 the escalator wasn’t working and the gate is kinda far, the lady at counter was like “what are you doing here, you are on gate eight!” I had no comment, she put a note to the gate that am on gate 24 and am on my way to gate 8, it was a hard exercise, specially I was tiered, I was the last one arrived to the plane and the lady was laughing on my foulness.

39K!, I have just noticed that they have down graded silently!, The Flight attendant doesn’t want to understand the problem he kept saying I can’t read the ticket and if u want to upgrade just give me your credit card number!, finally his manger or something double checked it and solved the problem she says that she has faced a problem like this once before on 15 years on duty, that means I am a lucky on somehow!.

Arrived to Kuwait at 6.30am Kuwait time, the bags stops coming out, And the luggage which were on my name haven’t showed up, how lucky am I! report the missing Items and back 2 sweat home.

The End…

I think it is she’aba

Vegas trip – Day six – Nevada desert

July 23rd, 2005

As I mentioned before Nevada is mainly a big desert, it is the one on cowboys movie, we headed to the desert it’s a nice place to drive between the mountain and imagining your self as a cowboy looking for you escaped horse, although we have almost the same whether in Kuwait, their desert has more planet than we have on our’s I can’t understand why ours is differ than everything!.

Unfortunately the day was cloudy and I can see an electrical storm coming to us, so it’s bitter to back to city before bad things happen.

We backed to the city headed to a shopping mall then backed to the hotel then we just figured that we haven’t have dinner yet!, we got out at 12.00am something trying to find an opened restaurant and we haven’t found any, backed home again at 2.00am and slept with nothing on my stomach more than a small cheese sandwich.

Vegas trip- Day Five- Hoof

July 22nd, 2005

Overview:
I think more than five days in one place isn’t that good Idea specially if u were in Vegas, all what u have here is Casino’s Shows a strip with amazing hotels, the population at the morning is about million at night it becomes five million don’t ask where are they came from but they are, the life is at night nothing to do at morning so it’s bitter to sleep all the day and stay all the night, they have so great restaurants and bars if the food wasn’t that good the decors defiantly is, Vegas is built by mafia’s as known as a place to rotate theirs money, Most of the hotel located on the strip behind the hotel is the parking (usually multi-leveled) and behind the parking is Nothing, A pure desert with some mountain, the hotel is located on the strip it takes only few minutes to arrive the hotel, people here used to came and stay on weekends on a hotel they didn’t usually get out from the hotel then back home again.

Vegas trip – Day Four – Rocked on…

July 21st, 2005

Report by: Mr. Dento.
They have rocked me, the hotels the shows the casino’s actually everything around is rocking, the weather is too hot (Burning hot) but almost everything is air-conditioned and cool, there are a lot of Mexican, fat and old people came from all around the world investing their money or body’s on Vegas, I kept hearing the sound of ambulance every time I went out I figured it out that there is so many people are loosing all their money and getting and a heart attack because of that!, the air is mosquitoes free, the shopping malls are so average and below the average so don’t except so much that’s all what I have as having four days on Vegas, Best luck for all of you –as it widely used here-.

Note: The whole pictures gallery will be published after the trip finished which will going to be 50+ pictures mean while I will keep posting pictures from daily action’s on the posts.

Inside the venations hotel, it looks exact the same of real Venus the man driving the small boat singing all the way.
