My Trip

[AhmedBahgat]

Salam to all from Cairo Egypt

It�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s about 6 PM Cairo time (Monday), I landed at 3:15 AM and thought I will have a quick run through the police check (yes the police is in charge of validating and checking all people who arrive to Egypt), they even wear police uniform with their ranking displayed.

Normally, you stand in the line, (about 6 lines in all) you just choose one and stand in it until your turn comes and meet one of those police officers (this applies to all people regardless where they come from or which citizen they hold), the police officer in full uniform should check your visa and stamp your passport with the date of entry then you wait on the side for another 10 minutes until they make sure that the passport is not forged, total and complete crap if you ask me, as if the police officers can bloody identify any forged non Egyptian passport, hahahaha, many of them won�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t be even able to read the non Arabic names on these passports, those bloody Egyptians are living a real Barbie world indeed. After those 10 minutes of wait, they call you and hand your passport back then you can go and collect you luggage and face the customs officers

Anyway, my plane arrived at 3:15 AM, and when I stepped inside this 20x20 meters area where you go through this crap of checking your passport, I found hundreds of people in this small area, from every country in the world, I discovered that the computer network was broken (as always) so they could not do the passport check on the computer and they have to do manually, from 12:15 AM until 3:15 AM, 5 airplanes arrived and all the passengers were fukin waiting in this room, imagine everyone of them is carrying the hand luggage and also there are a lot of children, women, old and young, many men, Arabs and foreigners, I thought that I won�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t go through this nightmare, my turn came and I handed my passport to the police officer, and he took it and ask me to wait about 30 minutes, I asked why, they said the system is not working and they have to process it manually,. I said OK half an hour is manageable after 20 fukin hours flying in the air, the first half hour passed, then the second then the third then I looked at the clock it was fukin 5:15 AM, holy crap man, I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m standing there in a sardine box sweating hard with frustrated and angry people from every where, so I just fukin lost it, I started inciting the already frustrated crowd to bloody destroy the whole place because they won�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t be able to arrest all of us, possibly those bloody Egyptians may get the fukin message, it was already people fighting each other, men from Arab countries who got pissed when other men touch their women in that sardine box, it was total shame man, I just could not believe it, my inciting were public with a loud voice, that this country is fuked and the God has to always be angry with its people, because they stand for falsehood and never stand for what is fukin right and logical, I was damn angry, man, other passengers were trying to cool me down, however I managed to get some going in anger, women too started shouting in disgust, one women thought that she must take a video of such Egyptian shame, a freak who was on the same plane as mine from Sydney but is not Australian shouted, Hey everyone, if you love Egypt, do not video such shame. I say, what the fuk?, the shame is already exposed to all foreigners you stupid Egyptians, in fact a woman came to me (foreigner) and told me, SHE HAS NEVER SEEN SUCH CRAP IN HER LIFE.

Another Arabic shouted in anger: Why?, I answered her in a loud voice, Do not foget that you are now in Egypt, I said to that freak who did not want anyone to video such shame, in a very loud , I will video it and will fukin post it on my web site, and this made one of the high ranking police officers to take note of me

Later on, I went to such police officer (without knowing that he took note of me) and asked him that I need my passport because I have work to go to, he asked me if I have Egyptian identification, so I showed it to him along with my expired Egyptian passport, so he took it and put it in his pocket and told me, when I pickup my passport, I should come and see him in his office, holy crap, what have I done, expressed my fukin frustration at a bunch of stupid punks who caused such frustration from the first place, so I felt a bit worry but said to myself, that he can�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t do shit to me, so I told him ok

Now, the way this stupid Egyptians handed back the passports to all these people from 5 fukin airplanes, was sort of the stone age method, two high ranking officers stopped in the middle of that room (you can hardly see them because they are surrounded with frustrated passengers 360 degrees in a circle that is about 5 meters diameter, almost one on top another, man, that was really tough, yes they don't have AC the arseholes, anyway, of course those two police officers were calling the names in a voice that you hardly hear, especially the frustrated passengers are making noises as well, then if any managed to hear his/her name, they shout from the back and the police officer just throw thev passport flying in the air those 5 meters to be picked up by the suppose to be its owner, hahahaha, what a shame, man it was a real circus from Barbie world, the problem though, it was not a funny fukin show, I managed to allocate my passport at about 6 AM, remember that I landed at 3:15 AM, so the first problem solved, now I have to deal with the second fukin problem, I need my Egyptian ID and my Egyptian passport that this police officer took, so I went to talk to him in his office, man, it was one hell of a useless discussion

He accused me of enticing the crowd, and accused me of hating Egypt, hahahahahah, I guess what he was trying to do is to make me fault big times, but hey even though I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m very forthcoming, I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m not an idiot, so I never give him the chance, and I told him, that the Quran told me to say the truth even if it will hurt me or hurt my parents being rich or poor, and the truth I wtnessed was nothing but another Egyptian failure, I accused him that he should be the one responsible to come up with a manual solution not fukin pack the passengers of 5 airplanes in a tiny room for fukin hours, he also accused me that I want to video such crap and post it on my web site, (despite I did not video anything) I told him yes I was going to do that if I managed to take the video, this is the only way to fix the problems, is to fukin expose it and face it, not to fukin cover it up as nothing never happened, another guy came to the office with yet another crap that if my son is bad, I should cover up on him, I told him the same, that the Quran told me to say the truth even if it will hurt me or my parents being rich or poor, the officer interrupted me and told me that he is Christian, hahaha, what a loser such police office, man.

Anyway, it ended like this, he wrote my name on a piece of paper telling me that he is going to record it as an Egypt hater, man, what can I say

Is it me who hates Egypt because I want to face its fukin problems and find a logical solution for it, or is it them who cover up the crap, flaws and mismanagement and act as nothing had happened and everything is cool and dandy?

What a loser such high ranking police officer, of course he handed back my documents and allowed me to leave, not sure what he was trying to achieve, possible scaring me, hahaha, I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m damn scared

As if, me as an Egyptian have no right to hate Egypt, but if I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m a foreigner then I have such right, what total crap that is, of course I love Egypt and want it to be the best country in the world, no fukin question about it, this is why I fukin decided to stop in it for a week on my way to London, despite my work did not need me to do so.

I really do not know what to say, however let me just say this, if carrying an Egyptian passport will take my freedom to expose the stupidity, the ignorance, and un-professionalism of the Egyptians, then just fuk it and I do not need it, because I will never stop exposing any freak who someway or another damages my home country or my religion

No wonder Egypt for the last 50 years or so, is going down, and I believe that currently, the rate of going down is at high speed.

The simplest of things in life can easily be one of the hardest to do in a very tough country like Egypt

I can�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t count the blessing of Allah who made Australia to be my adopted home, I�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m sure Allah knew that in no way a person like me can live in such country, I humbly can not stop thanking Him

Salam all

As you might have known that I arrived back on Sunday morning Sydney time, I needed a bit of rest after 7 weeks working hard overseas,

Landing in Australia felt really great, especially we landed at the early hours of the morning when we (the passengers) can see the clear air and the runway from the onboard camera, it felt fantastic and I felt proud of my beautiful country

Something happened in Sydney airport that took my attention, something similar to what happened in Cairo Airport but with a difference, the difference between ignorance and intelligence, Australia have flying restriction laws, i.e. between 12 midnight and 6 AM in the morning, no plane is allowed to land, this is to assure a peaceful sleep for the people who live near the Airport, look how caring our government is, of course all airliners adjust there trip time to make to Sydney exactly on the time they will allow landing, i.e. by 6 AM you see a queue of airplanes getting ready to land, I landed at 6:30 AM and for certain a few other planes landed within the same time frame, let me just say, about 20 planes in total landed between 6 AM and 7 AM, you can imagine how crowded the airport will be,

Australia have a very restrict rules to what people bring into the country, there is huge list of items that can never be brought in and must be declared or may be brought in but a duty must be payable, their main concern is not about the duty that should be pais rather any harmful item that may cause any damage to the country, like plants, vegetation, food, wood, animals, etc etc, therefore before landing by an hour, the air hostess distribute these declaration card over all passengers to select any item on the list that they may have and must be checked by the custom officers

Of course every one can tick all boxes that they have none of all these items on the list, and believe me that many lie, so the custom officers has two ways to tackle this human flaws:

1) By using dogs that are trained to sniff drugs and food
2) By X Raying all bags at the final point of exit (just before you are free to go)

You can imagine that the dog sniffing part is very quick, as the dogs come and sniff you while your still waiting for your bags on the belt, it just happens without you even feeling it, the dogs are trained very well and know exactly what to do without disturbing anything around, very seamless indeed, I was sniffed twice

The X Raying is the part that is very time consuming, you can imagine the huge queues waiting to be x-rayed and each have some where between a bag and 5 bags, it was a bit shocking indeed, yet everything was damn organised, it was not only annoying to all these passengers but also annoying to the custom officers and does not look good in front of all these people from many places in the world, so they always have a plan in place when it happens everyday in the morning, as I observed, a team of custom officers (about 10) walk through the queues and check the declaration card that everyone must have, if they fond that you have nothing to declare by ticking all the NO boxes, they stamp your card and take you off the queue then send you to another gate where you exit without even having your bags x-rayed, and that is what happened to me while waiting in a 100 meters queue, she came and asked me if I do not have anything and I answered absolutely so she stamped by card and sent me to the exit, I was out in a flash as many other passengers, see how beautiful and trusting the Aussies are, they even put their country on danger violating their own restrict rules due to the fact that it was very crowded in the Airport, unlike the stupid and ignorant Egyptian officers who acted like dumb by making a problem worse then fukin harass the passengers who complained and refused to accept their crap, what a difference man, it makes me proud to be an Australian and ashamed to be an Egyptian

They always taught me in Egypt the following sentence, Misr Umm Al Donya, i.e. Egypt is the mother of the whole world, I say, that must have been a lie that was only designed to brainwash generations to grow up believing such crap, let me tell you what is not a lie: Australia Umm Al Donya, i.e. Australia is the mother of the whole world. May Allah increase His blessings to such beautiful land
