For another week my world is in Hurghada at the red Sea in Egypt. As it is very hot during the day, we do our window shopping tour in the evening.
The Egyptians are very cheerful people and like to laugh and make fun all the time. Here I just wanted to take a picture of the shop, but they wanted to be on it. In Morocco they almost spit in your face if you take a picture of people, because they pretend that taking a photo takes her soul away, but curiously if you give some money the soul stays inside. They say it is written in the Koran. I dared to remark that at Mohamed's or Jesus time there were no cameras yet.
A friendly Egyptian couple enjoyed the sea too. I found her outfit very elegant and she swam like a fish !
Each evening we had the pleasure to be smoked like sausages, because of the moskitos. It smelled horrible but it was efficient !
The water was very warm and so salty that you didn't need to swim, it carried you just like that. Besides the red cap Chantal is swimming.
There is also a diving center in the Hotel, but we never saw the divers because they left early morning and came back late night.

The appetite of the Russians hasn't changed, they eat whatever they can get. You really see that they suffered from privation over decades. Most of them haven't even seen an orange in their life. Unfortunately they behave like savages. Hotels now start to refuse Russian groups because they damage too much.
I loved your comment about the cameras. Good point.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a fun place for a holiday.Interesting to learn about the different cultures.
ReplyDeleteInteresting culture, I am learning alot from your post. That really surprises me about the Russians..how sad. The camera remark gave me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear about the Russian deprivation. Reminds me of my mother during the Second World War in Scotland. She hadn't seen an orange either.
ReplyDeleteLove the beaches - they look lovely.
What an interesting trip you've had, Gattina! And your photos are marvelous! I loved your comment about the cameras, too! I was surprised about the Russians, too, and that is sad! But for those of us who've never suffered that kind of deprivation, I guess there's a lot we don't know about how we would react had we been in their position.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

ReplyDeleteYou know... I wish they HAD had camera's back in Jesus day! The way WE document every move we make - THINK how much moooore history we would have - we might have even had VIDEOS of the miracles!!! And... it would take all the guess work out of all the paintings of Him!!!

Communism has done strange things to the Russians, it has decivilised them over 90 years. At home they are lovely peopleand very generous but send them abroad and they behave like communists...get it while you can. So often there was either no money or no food to buy with it.
