Egypt: A Country Full of Surprises

Image
Egypt is not just a land of pyramids and pharaohs. It is actually considered as the country with the richest history based on the survey conducted by US News in 2017. Although there were many negativities written about it regarding its security, one cannot deny the fact that this country boasts marvelous sceneries that exude high state of art and grandeur. As a matter of fact, it has become an inspiration of many popular movies and video games. Hence, not only art, science, or history buffs can be lured in exploring Egypt but also those who have a penchant for entertainment. Nuseir Yassin, the famous vlogger of Nas Daily , even calls it “a photographer’s paradise.” Countries with richest history (US News, 2017)   I had a chance to explore Egypt for six weeks beginning on the first week of February 2018.

My Misadventures in Europe

Image
While most people like to go with their friends, I always prefer to explore new places alone so I can have all my time for myself. Well, I might sound pretty selfish, but I like consuming my time by staring at and observing the buildings. I am very much fascinated of other countries' unique architecture.  Unfortunately, it's not my other friends' cup of tea as they have other interests. Hence, I usually just go somewhere all by myself and hope to eventually meet someone who is like me. When I decide to visit other countries, I always want to make sure that they have something that cannot be found in my country. Hence, I take photos of almost everything so I can show them to my family and friends. For now, my photos are the only way for them to have a glimpse of what I can see since I can't bring all of them with me.  The Philippines is already filled with a lot of beautiful nature sceneries. Hence, I prefer to choose a country based on their architecture and lan...

If you want to know why I love Czech Republic, check this link .   Getting around in this country is actually easy in contrast to what I have thought. Unlike in my country, their transportation system is very organized and always punctual. They have an application and website where you can see all the schedule of the buses and trains. It was difficult for me to use it at first because I was very forgetful though how many times my friends taught me how to use it. To be honest, it took me two weeks to master it. haha Hence, I decided to write this article so I can help my fellow travelers in roaming the beautiful cities in this country; I was not able to find any guide on google before. You can thank me afterwards. ;) Are you ready? Let's...
