"turbo bug mud blobs"… "turboötökän mutaleikki" oven pielessä…

This is the door to the garden. Look at that huge, about 5 cm long, “turbo bug” doing something but what? Tästä ovesta kuljemme pihalle. Katsokaa tuota isoa, noin 5 cm pituista, “turboötökkää” puuhissaan – mitä se tekee? It definitely left a sign but what is it? Start of a nest? I cleaned the wall.

The Pharaonic Village in Cairo, Egypt

We visited here on Saturday. It was a great place for shooting photos… Please don’t ask my honest opinion about the place. Okay – it was a tourist trap. High prices. Our guided tour went through 4 shops (at least) where we had to stop. I didn’t see anybody buy anything. All in our group

back in Cairo! my home is here – where's yours? takaisin Kairossa! kotini on tällä hetkellä täällä – missä on sinun kotisi?

aah, daily life! ihanaa, arki!

This is our main door. Here’re lots of these kinds of wrought iron doors and gates. Plus the stairway banisters are often made of wrought iron. Tämä on meidän kotiovemme. Toisin kuin Suomessa tässä asunnossa tullaan suoraan olohuoneeseen. Tai sitä ei täällä kutsuta olohuoneeksi vaan ‘reception’iksi. Usein rappusten kaiteet on myos takorautaa. Se on suosittua

Kamar ElDeen – a slab of juice… Kamar ElDeen – oranssin lätyn salaisuus…

Yesterday I supposed to tell you about this concentrated apricot juice but I didn’t know enough of it until I got help from Nada, thank you! Eilen piti kertoa tästä aprikoosimehusta mutta tarvitsin hiukka tulkkausapua ennen kuin oranssin lätyn salaisuus aukeni. This year Ramadan starts 22nd of August. Yesterday (already) the shop was full of
