| Have you ever had a vacation where at 5 p.m. sharp, right when the temperature is nicer, the tourists are "removed" from the beach by the beach boy with the words: "tourist finished, end of working time"? In Tunisia this happens. And not only this. Read on and make your own conclusions about where to stop when traveling there.

| The Temples or Luxor and Karnak |

| Never thought something like this exist: a construction of true grandeur with an astonishing colonnade and dozens of sphinx and heads of kinds lining the streets. But how it can go about without some adventure at the airport or on the bus - an incident like this will forever change the psyche of a border guy (smile). This happens.:)

| “Kasbahs, Berber and nomads. These are only some catchwords which describe Morocco”. What happened to my old dream, getting to see the desert? Reading this article made me vivdly imagine the powerful sand dunes and the amazing green oases in North Africa, and it got me started: I’m already putting money aside for the trip of my life. I’m serious!:)

| Cairo with its maze of streets and lanes, its quarters and bazaars is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Cairo is like an ancient lady who has lived a thousand years or more, who has seen power come and go.., but there is another great thing she saw - something that leaves anybody bewildered…

| The Voodoo Lands of Togo and Benin |

2006-12-11 23:36:26 (via www.xenophilia.net) |
| I’ve surely heard about voodoo, and I would’ve certainly loved to use it on some people (ha), but I’ve never assisted to a real voodoo ceremony. Now I know I shouldn’t miss my chance to do it if I ever go to Africa. And if I get to visit with the King himself, like this article’s author did, I can consider myself a happy traveler:).

| Toilets flush counterclockwise in Timbuktu |

| Did you hear about that? Toilets flush counterclockwise in West Africa. It’s worth reading the travelogue of such a great observer! Oh, this observer also caught some virus and there’s a very funny picture showing his body’s contour on the bed, made out of sweat. I have to say that for a second, I thought it’s something else... Funny article again!

| Ethiopia for three weeks |

| It’s always funny to read westerners’ travelogues on Africa: the perspective is usually hilarious. Like this article, which ends with “anyway, Friends and Family, do not come to Ethiopia”. Now imagine its content. Or better read it yourself for a good laugh! Some flashes of honesty reveal the real beauty of this country; those are priceless!

| Bill & Jen’s Millenium Experience |

2006-11-21 01:46:05 (via www.frischling.com) |
| If you’ve never traveled in an African airplane, don’t be surprised if suddenly, without warning, there is a giant mountain passing next to your window a half mile away. Also, don’t be very mad if the plane takes off 30 minutes early. I’ve been to Kenya so I know all these, but I still found this article awesome and useful! See it yourself!

| Beth’s Trip to Egypt |
| Submitted by bindero on
2006-11-16 02:53:52 (via www.zuckershack.org) |
| I never thought about an American’s perspective on Cairo, Egypt. I found it interesting, after reading this article: everything from food to taxi cabs seemed “incredibly inexpensive”, the people were friendly and the attractions – sometimes “odd”. Watch a lot of pictures and enjoy the experience of three Americans in the capital of belly dancing.
