Supercilious

Two weeks ago, we have the opportunity to visit the zoo. I was utterly surprised when I found out that it only costs 5cents CDN to get in. Isn't that nuts!? However, once you get inside, there are all sorts of fees to see animals, feed them and touch them. So for 10 pounds, all my friends and I took pictures and petted this lion you see below. He's pretty cool, and they can make him roar on command.

And here is the sweetest little girl we met in Cairo. She was our neighbour before we moved to another flat. Isn't she the most precious thing?
Here below is Liz and I at the pyramids. We took horses and a camel up this hill into the "dessert" and trekked to the pyramids. Lead by our "guide", who wasn't really a guide (BUT A FAKE!), he talked about the history of the pyramids, which by the way none of us understood what he was saying as this Egyptian "guide" was speaking English faster than any of us could ever understand. He also volunteered to take pictures of us posing with the pyramids, which ended up to so off centered that I'm ashamed to put them on my blog. So this pic will have to do for now.
Water Pipes!!! Muhaha!! These are the coolest things alive! There are different flavors such as mango, strawberry, and mint. I would definitely try one puff except I'd probably be kicked out of the school. JK!
Well, that's it for now. What else happened this week?
a). One of our friends got LICE from playing with kids in the nursery. So he ended up shaving his head. LOL!
b). I played football (soccer) with some of our new friends and one of the guys kicked the soccer ball right in my face. As a result, I was bleeding profusely through my nose for a long time. But hey, no pain no gain, right? JKJK
c). We ate KFC, Pizza Hut, and McD's over the last 36 hours.
d). I hate UNO (at least for the time being)

Valentines Day! The boys prepared an awesome surprise breakfast for us girls. The wonderful breakfast included cinnamon tea, two cadbury chocolate bars, fresh strawberry and mango juice, chocolate cresants, a heart shaped cake, fresh cheese, and candy! Afterwards, they prepared a slideshow for us and gave us specific encouragements through the WORD!
Yay for men who appreciate and respect women!
