Hello everybody. It has been a while since my last post but as only 3 persons are reading it.....
Everything is going fine, except that about two weeks ago I had some problems with my stomach but now it's ok again.
In November I am able to take one week vacation and I will go to Cairo to see the pyramids, the sphinx and the exyptian museum. I am really looking forward to this trip.
I will also try to go for a day or two to Hurghada, the flight ticket should only cost something like CHF 50 for one way.
A day after tomorrow I will perhaps go diving.
You see, things are going a lot better, thanks to the weather that has cooled down. I am up to a lot more and enjoying my stay here better.

B-Day on October 3rd 2008
It's nice that even if you are far away, some people always remember your B-Day.
Friday normally I have office work on the schedule but I pretty much did all on Thursday. We would have also departure and arrival transfers in the night from Friday to Saturday but I asked in the office and for the 1st time I did not have to go to the airport. Lucky me. Now I just hoped that no guests would call me with major problems. Well that would be the case in a perfect world but not in reality.
After having breakfast at the Inter Plaza I checked my e-mails. I started feeling a little homesick receiving all these Birthday Greetings. It's crazy how much I miss everything and everybody. So I went back to my room and unpacked the two presents my mum had sent for me. I got a wonderful calendar 2009 from Tibet and a book about the Koran, but written as a story. I immediately started to read the book and finished the first two chapters.

At about 1pm I went to my brother’s house where we got ready to go to the beach. We went to Beach Turquoise which I haven’t known until now and I really liked it. There are a few things I didn’t really ask for to see, but well. We went home and played some Fishdom. I had found a good homepage to download games: www.bigfishgames.com and Miki got so addicted to this game that he immediately bought it.
From my colleagues at Marhaba I just invited one person. His name is Saleh and he is a very down to earth guy and he is one who did not disappoint me until now. So he came over to my brothers where we also met with Valeria (Victoria’s sister) before we went to Akram’s house where there would be a B-Day Party.
This party was for Akram, Ayman, Nadine and myself as we all celebrate our birthday on October 3rd. Akram and myself are even born the same year. Unfortunately Ramzy, the receptionist from the Hotel Inter Plaza could not come, but it was also his B-Day on October 3rd. The party was great. Well I had two shots and a drink and didn’t feel pretty good for a while but after a cola, some water and fresh air, things went back to normal.
I had a very nice birthday. Thanks to all of you.
And I just want to add one thing. Miki is being a real good brother. He is taking good care and is protecting me from “bad” guys.

My B-Day
My Birthday is coming up and oh wonder. I asked the traffic manager yesterday if it would possible that I don't have to do the departure and arrival transfers in the night from Friday to Saturday. He said that is ok.
Sure these people work hard, one month without having one day off, but then they get a week off and go to Cairo, Alexandria or Luxor. Since I am here I didn't get one single day off. Sure there are days in the week where I do not have any visiting hours, but then I set up the plan for the following week, prepare the brochures and you can be sure that it's exactly on these days, where a guest will call me in the morning. A day off means that you can switch off your phone and you don't have to bother and until today I didn't have that yet.
I won't complain because I know that this will not be like this for a long time.
Things happen and I must say I am very disappointed from the behaviour of certain persons. Being proud and not admitting mistakes is more important then being honest to yourself and other persons. People lie here and this is really a very bad thing. You know I am a honest person and therefore it's very hard for me to deal with situations like this.

Why?!?!?!?!
Who let them out again? It's again israelien season. But the other one just finished.
Never ever I will go anywhere on vacation where I know that there are a lot of Israeliens.
The last few weeks were so nice and peaceful. You could relax in the poolarea. This morning when I passed there were children screaming, they also shout to each other from their balcony to the pool. The entire lobby is full with them. I hope this time the season is short.
The restaurant is already a catastroph again.
I am sure they are not all the same but what I have seen since I am living in the hotel, they are the worste guests you could imagine.
