Spent the next day with Mohamed before he had to go to the army for 3 years. We went on a long trip on his bike to sugar farms (picture) and around other poor villages and then I drove and raced some friends home. Went to a night club but unfortunately the belly dancing bit was closed. Then the chain snapped on muhamed's bike so we had to walk home and some of his friends decided to arm wrestle me, I was surprised to beat them all.
I watched some kids fighting with rocks by Luxor temple and they managed to break my closest ATM - so inconsiderate. Went to another wedding with Khaled (18, allah's nephew) and learnt lots of Arabic swear words.
Got up at 5am to watch the sun rise over Luxor in a hot air balloon. We flew ridiculously close to peoples houses and through the tip of a tree. We landed on slightly muddy ground and a stupid American woman made the pilot take off again and land somewhere else just to protect her expensive flip flops. Also beat Allah at dominoes.
Thursday I drove hamdi's bike around west bank - amazing roads and views through the valleys. Went to another wedding with Khaled and hamdi where their friends had fun making me say stupid things in Arabic. Beat hamdi at FIFA. I was going to go to Cairo on Thursday night but I wasn't allowed to leave, stayed the night in hamdi's flat.
Friday we chased tourists around Luxor on hamdi's bike - so much fun. Looked after muhamed's scarf shop in the souks but didn't sell anything - not enough tourists. Then hamdi tried to convince me to be circumcised. Went fishing with Khaled and friends. Saw a crazy woman on the street shouting about how someone stole her chickens and how she was going to steal anyones chicken she saw. Was going to go to cairo but apparently there are lots of riots (I think allah just doesn't want me to leave).
