RE: Old Egypt. A mysterious place to go!
Man... this gets an automatic upvote. It has been my life-long dream to see the pyramids in real-life. I am so jealous! Do you live near Egypt?

It seems crazy but no. I'm from Venezuela. I was there in 2008 and it feels like it was yesterday!
Wow. That's cool, too! What's Venezuela like?? The farthest "South" I have travelled is Mexico (I live near Seattle, WA USA). Is it warm there this time of year?? Are there any cool monuments in Venezuela? What sent you to Egypt? Just for fun?
Yes, I was just for fun. To go to a diferent place with totally different customs. And well...
Actually Venezuela really is not the same than some years ago. I love my country but there is a lot of chaos, corruption and what once was a free and happy place to live, now is mostly stressing and depressing. But that doesn't change the fact of this is an amazing country. There are states (districts) where the weather is warm and dry. We have beaches and lagoons and also two big and important lakes. Then you can go to some other states, where the weather is cold and wet, there, is located the longest and highest teleferic in the world, and when u get to the last station, the snow makes you forget that you are in southamerica.
Interesting. I knew a young woman from Venezuela, this was many years ago, over ten probably. The way she described the country was more like you said: violent and corrupt governments... that's a shame. But a guess even bad people cannot fully remove the beauty of a country; its history, its geography.
And what is a "teleferic?" I looked it up, but couldn't find an answer. Some kind of high-up train?
A teleferic is a kind of transport media used in mountains to go, over te trees, from a lowest point to a highes one in the mountain. Here in Venezuela it's ubicated in the state of Merida, it has 5 stations and in each one there is a restaurant and a kind of very big balcony and the view is something you can't describe, because you can watch it ona postal or a picture, but in person is amazing.
Here is a youtube link taken from "El Sumario" in wich shortly they show the way in the teleferic.
Ah. So like a gondola.. that is what I always called this lol, a gondola. But very cool. Thank you
