Re: Freedive Dahab - photos and stuff

one piece of advice to give you apnea addict, dont try to relate to what you are used to in Hamburg and look for it hre in Egypt, embrace the change embrace the trip and try and focus on the positives that brings.
i could tell you about my not so pleasant experiences in munich for 2 months when no one seems to speak english and i had to wipe my ass with just toilet paper for 2 months, because the bathroom system is entriely different.
ENJOY the trip

Re: Freedive Dahab - photos and stuff

there are water faucets in the toilets in egypt, then you use the toilet paper.
much cleaner this way.

I would suspect that he was looking for a "bidet" system, that indeed is very hard to find in Germany, but we are getting off topic here

Marwan, sorry, I was maybe getting a little carried away during the first few days of my stay there, I started to enjoy it more later, but than I ran out of time for writing

I maent to make up for that by putting that clip on youtube together, which is supposed to say: It is a great place, even if itīs different from home.
