Hello world. I'm back from the dead. Well, actually i'm back from the land of lazy bloggers, and I intend to re-dedicate myself to the hardworking-bloggers community. So, hello world. =]

Here's more of my Egypt trip I went for, 1 234 567 890 years ago.



This is the Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque. It's at the top of a hill, overlooking Cairo's (a city in Egypt, in case we all forgot) scenic town. The view inside, is even more scenic.



The domes, carvings, statues, lights and the whole package amazed everyone. 9 out of 10 people who entered the mosque immediately looked upwards in awe, and said "AWE AM JEE". If I had a wider lens and a tripod, I would have been able to start selling postcards okay.



It apparently looks scorching hot in the above picture, with the 'scenic' view of the dry town and eroding ruins of building, but it was less than 20 degrees celsius there. Chee Buy.



He's not kneeling on the pole. He's doing a kawaii jump.



After lotsa picture-taking and following the tour group around, understanding and remembering less than 4% of what the tour guide said, we hopped back on the bus and some machas started to sell us some papyrus paper paintings. Not face-to-face, but from the outside.



"HEY YO, WANNA GO SMOKE A JOINT AND BUY SOME PAPYRUS?"



Now that's what I call, window-shopping.



That's part of the Nile River, if my memory serves me correctly.



We then moved on to a bazaar on the other side of town, called the Khan Khalili Bazaar. Wow. that's what I call an Arabic Bangkok man. Can find all sorts of shit there. Even this.



Like. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

Pyramid Vuitton ar?!








They're quite rough over there... pull you, shout at you, persuade kao-kao you... everything lah. There's one dude also... we thought he was damn cool haha.. he was holding out a tshirt, calling out to a woman walking away from him in the rapidly jostling,

"Esscuussee me miss, I hab your size!!



Saw all kinds of elements of the different cultures across the globe. But we couldn't snap fast enough.






This lane has a cafe on the left, lined with stools and coffee tables 50metres along the way. Every table had at least one shisha pipe. Dammnnn strong the flavours. Mint la, chocolate la, strawberry la... I think there was ginger also.

KknCcb.




Some unknown fellow photographers.






Okaaaayyyy. Mocks next week.

Die die die die die die die die die die die

My name is Jon without a H. They call me the boy who's in the wrong academic course - I'm doing ACCA. You'll figure out the rest.

I sway in and out of basketball, rock climbing, frisbee and gym-ing as sports, but I always stick to graphic design and photography. My dream is to either start and develop an advertising and design company, or design and implement a revolutionary accounting and control system for a multi-national IT company. Sounds crazy?

Watch me!

Oh, and I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan.
