Travel Thursday | Ancient Civilization




Africa
Oh la la
Hahhahaa

My oh my!
Why oh why?
Did I say Africa
When it's Egypt by far

Are you aware?
That Egypt -
where most civilization meet
Is in Africa
And not Middle East -
Land of Oasis

Did you not hear?
If not, then click here
Believe me now dear?
Hehehee... Queer?

Really!
Am not being silly
Just plain ol' Lily
Sharing her story
In a way that is funny


Yet to blog on Egypt trip 2002.

    Nice job - I like that the picture is black and white-it introduces a different feeling to this famous view:)

    I have been to Africa only once. It was Morocco. I would like to visit Africa once again if I have a chance.
    Nice monochrome photo. It really fits to the desert.

    Please let me know where you are supposed to stay in Japan. As far as I am concerned, there aren't many festivals during your stay... I could find a Plum festivals in the temples/shrines. That does not sound exciting but it's an option, you know:)
    Have a wonderful weekend.
