Works of art live longer than our life. The desire of making and keeping may show our longing for eternity. Egypt has the ingredients of such human world. My visiting was from the close of 2004 to the beginning of 2005.

"Jackie Chan?","Chinese?" We were sometimes spoken to like that. Most of Egyptians were harmless Muslims and I often caught sight of the nice-dressed women with the veils especially in pink color. As a matter of course, they didn't look slut but purely beatufiful. I thought I should be careful about my clothes. Abdoo told me that Muslims kneel down in prayers with the KorAn toward Mecca five times everyday and also go to the mosque if they can. "I have never been to Mecca...", he said, "...would like to go there someday 'cause there're teachings that you shoud go if you can go." the fastig seems to continue for one month. I asked him, "When is the end of the world? What do you think about that?" He answered, "Nobody knows."...yeah, that's the truth.
