It was my first trip to Europe (I was in US for a year though!).My relatives were at the airport,showed me around and left me at my hotel. I went in to the resturant to have food (some noodles stuff) and ordered water. They brought me a 200ml mineral water bottle costing approx 5 Euros. The bottle said it was from a natural spring some where in Africa.(Even the Evian is about an Euro for 1 lt bottle). the other thing I noticed was a confusing jet lag unlike a clear one when you travel to US. The other freaky thing was the lock in my soft luggage broke. I walked in the streets of Dublin going to 3 Tescos still did not find one. I was exhausted as I was wandering for almost 4 hours. I got lost and reached the hotel by a Cab. Finally I used the ring in the Key chain to secure the 2 zippers of the soft luggage. My flight was involantarily rerouted (Gulfair was terminating Dublin service. I had chosen Gulf air to avoid the transit VISA hassle at European Hubs) and just had 3 hours of sleep before I could get ready and show up in the airport.I made home hopping on to 3 aircrafts.

My trip was in ancient misterious place called Egypt.A desert and the mistery thats what it is known for.But apart from that there is sea shore at alexandria city and this was only beach where I was shivering by cold and not sweating.(I was there in January).It is a misconception that mummies are found in the pyramyd. The mummies are kept in the other places and burried under the tomb.Pyramids are built to make enemies ditract from the treasure burried in the tomb. Although egypt is know for its ancient culture,Alexandria,giza cities are quite modern.And last but not least it is a very clean and neat place.
