Ciao crewers,
I did my search for some pics in my laptop, but i dont have any special ones. thats the best what i have for the moment. in one week Luiza will come, my polish friend (most of u may remember her from her Leiden visit) and she will make some more photos for sure, so i will share them after.



the one with music is from the hostel where i stayed for more than a month. it was a pure social and party hostel, ideal place for chill out. I even eventually met one american guy who turned to have the same grand grand grandmother with me. so we got drunk ritually, to celebrate the family reunion. what else can i expect from this unbeleivable world?


the others are from my walks around city with one slovak artist who was looking for inspriration. he painted few nice big canvases which were later exibited here in the gallery for couple of weeks. it was nice to go out with him and listen to his artistic fantasies. he did not speak english nor arabic, so me or another friend had to be with him all the time. We have soon realized that if you leave an artist unattended in cairo u wont find him again easily. but we had fun at least and the artist guy was as lucky as only naive people can be. than for a week i was going out with Vranas, which was great guy. greek egyptian, applying stathi's measures the ideal of mankind , and i liked him also. www.vranas.net if u r interested. he dresses like that all the time, with 2 ancient knives and 1 sword from some philipinain monastery under his coat..so it is fun to walk with him on the street. he lives and works in Aswan, southern egypt. i plan to go there and visit him in 2 weeks. his grandfather was Georgij Gurdjieff, an extraordinary budhist-sufi spiritual thinker. i heard so many interesting stories as never before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._I._Gurdjieff i think particularly stathi will enjoy it.

i have quite many things to do these days. hopefully i will have internet at home in comming week, so we will be able to communicate more intesively. now i live with Bjarne, which is norwegian photographer doing crazy portraits. but now he is in Alexandria for work and he leaves in end of the month anyway, so i will have to find someone else. u can check his work, which i really like on: www.barebjarne.no or http://www.flickr.com/photos/43136708@N00/408960716 . there are many from egypt also. if u find a photo of Mark, guy with a cigarette, that's the one who's my relative,heh.
im missing all of you..i hope u r doing well and smiling your way through the day.
cheers to africa, asia and mama europa. and please post your addresses to database, coz postcards are waiting on the table. kisses. salam.
p.

Hei Peterako! Amazing stories ... about all the one about your granny! wow! i have been checking flights to go to caire...and...i dont know...what do you think is a good price? Maybe it is better to take a tourist package? I found sth for 330 euros from amsterdam...it would have been cheaper to visit you in Kosiche! puf...! hei have fun !
