                    <title>Hey Look A White Kid</title>
                    <description>Ohh Cairo. Sandy dirty Cairo. Maybe it's because we're nearing the end of our travels. Maybe it's because 90 of people I've talked to on this trip want my money. Maybe it's because I'm wary of a country that has to federally fund a Tourist Police force. All I know is Cairo is a disaster.I remember when we were planning this leg of the trip in Egypt and we had figured that a hotel would be a </description>

                    <description>Cairo was an adventure to say the least...After literally sprinting to the gate in Israel it was of course the farthest possible gate from security we landed in Cairo at about 9pm.  We were greeted by one of the MinTravel owners who escorted us to get our 'visa' a 15 dollar sticker we put in the passport ourselves and rode with us to our '4star' hotel.  Get used to the quotes...Egypt was a </description>

                    <title>Our Cairo Activities</title>
                    <description>Im laying here in the lap of luxury sprawled out on a bed of sorts and supported by pillows. Twenty minutes ago I was in a deep sleep. Ten minutes ago I was having a delicious meal delivered to my very resting place. And Im on an airplane Yes this giant Boeing 777 from Cairo to London is less than half full. Kevin Raf and I each claimed our own middleaisle of four seats all to ours</description>

                    <description>Again I am sitting on a plane with laptop open and sunset out my window  except over the Mediterranean Sea this time. The Israeli airport security was absurd. The airport was nearly empty because of the Sabbath and yet it still took us over TWO hours to finally get to our gate running. Every part of our bags were searched looked at and opened up. It was rather amazing to think that it took </description>

                    <description>Since Kevin has already done a pretty good job of wrapping up Jerusalem Ill talk a little bit about my HubbleBubble experience.After dinner on Thursday we made our way back to the King of HubbleBubbles shop he pronounces it HubblyBubbly to try hookah.  The King himself wasnt there but two of his sons the Princes I suppose were there and they set up a hookah for Kevin and me.</description>

                    <description>Whatd he say I asked the young Jewish boy to my right. They are going to shoot it he replied in his classroom English. Brushing the traditional curls out of his face he reemphasized The robot will shoot the bomb.Standing on an elevated portion of a building Raf Dan and I lean against the wall taking in the scene below us. The Israeli police have established a 50 meter </description>

                    <description>So I'd like to apologize to the 5 of you who are subscribing to this blog for the barrage of emails..but we just got internet again and as all addicts are apt to do we're getting as much as possible in as short a time as possible...Thailand wrapped up amazingly...Because of the King's birthday there were about 5 days of partying all throughout the Kingdom.  When I turn 80 you better believe I'm</description>

                    <title>Fast Times at Pattaya High</title>
                    <description>Dans 21st birthday. Dan was awoken in a considerably nicer fashion than Raf was on his birthday ask for details. After waking up on the late side we headed out to the streets of Pattaya in the late morning. Raf and I made the horrible mistake of picking up a bottle of sickly sweet wine that was cleverly disguised as beer at a 711 before you label me as a lame American who flocks to familia</description>

                    <title>Thailand  A Country of Wonders</title>
                    <description>So again I am sitting on a place laptop in seat and cup of tea in hand. Im now flying over the Red Sea however given our erratic flight path necessary to avoid the numerous nofly zones that you can imagine exist for an Israeli flight crossing the middleeast. Theres a big difference in comfort this time considering I am sitting in a window seat of an exit row as opposed to the crowded m</description>

                    <title>Sensing China</title>
                    <description>Sitting on a crowded Thai plane right now I realize how much the last week flooded our senses with new experiences.First sight. Shanghais architecture is extraordinarily modern causing every look out the window of our dirt cheap taxis to be filled with buildings you just cant take your eyes off of. A good example would be yesterdays journey to the Jin Mao building. We exited the subway </description>

                    <title>Goodbye Shanghai</title>
                    <description>Happy Birthday Sam  The big 21 occured for him while we were here and as can be expected...it was an all day party for everyone's favorite midshipman.  The plan for the day was to head downtown at aroundd 5 PM for some cocktails at a swanky bar at the top of the Shangrila but upon arrival we found out that they weren't open until 6 PM.  After some aimless wandering we decided to get some cigars </description>

                    <title>A Day in Downtown Shanghai</title>
                    <description>The next day we got up early for a full day downtown. After a delicious pancakelike breakfast from a street vendor we took the subway to Peoples square. The day was very cold and foggy causing the skyscrapers to fade off into the distance. However as we exited the subway we were immediately awestruck by the 1000 foot high Marriott Executive Apartments building in front of us part of Tomo</description>

                    <title>Shanghai Ruminations</title>
                    <description>A few thoughts in no particular order It's crazy to be completely dropped into a language and culture of which you have absolutely no prior knowledge. When we landed all I knew how to say was thank you. Four days later I'm not much better but there are certain things that you begin to notice. Phrases tones certain characters basic sentence structure  it all starts to make sense and any </description>

                    <title>My Travel to Shanghai</title>
                    <description>First a quick backstory of my travel to this wonderful country. My flights were the same as Kevin and Raf's except two days later. Unfortunately I could not fly out until then because of a final I had Friday morning. Ironically the professor of the class was from China even more ironically teaching an international trade class and yet he still wouldn't let me take the final early so that </description>

                    <title>Shanghai Shenanigans</title>
                    <description>So we woke up the next morning laughing at ourselves and ready for bright new day in China.  Since Piech was arriving that day we took the subway out to where we were going to pick up really early you have to go west to go east here and walked around under the Pearl Tower and and watched all of the buildings light up while smoking some cigars.  Very strange cigar experience...we all felt like </description>

                    <description>Hey everyone.So after getting on the MagLev train that can reach 500 kmhr we were zoomed over to downtown Shanghai where Tyler met us at the station. It was great to see one of our other Duke friends and it was even crazier to realize how ridiculously different China was from Australia. I mean I really don't know how to describe it. Initial culture impressions Spitting. Thought it was only f</description>

                    <description>After finishing our last final Kevin and I departed Townsville armed with clothes high spirits and a bottle of spirits purchased with money obtained by the last minute sell of my bike.  We arrived in Brisbane and had a short dinner before boarding our short flight to Sydney.  On our flight we met a girl who is auditioning for the title roll in Mel Gibson's newest movie think Apocolypto but Ce</description>
