An evening at Sydney Opera House is a “must” to do in town. I went to see Natalie Cole and Sydney Symphony Opera House. I loved it… good music and beautiful place.

After some rainy days, I had a perfect sunny day on the Blue Mountains.

My arrival in Australia was ”errante” (errant), I landed in Sydney and had no idea of what I was going to do this month, I had no hotel booked neither a planned itinerary. The first thing I did was to by a SIM card for my mobile, so I could connect to the internet and call places. I sat in a cafe at the airport and planned my first days. Then, headed to town.

Sydney was rainy. I walked a lot under the rain, but after a while, being wet and the jet leg (18 hours from San Francisco and 13 hours from Salvador) made me feel very tired.

I enjoyed my first day walking around Darling Harbour and the Chinese Garden and preparing my trip for the next weeks. Sydney was a start, but I will be back by the end of the month to better visit the city.

It’s difficult to start to understand a city as Cairo in a short visit of only a couple of days. However, if you let yourself walk around the streets, get a taxi or sit down to drink a tea at any small street shop you could get a glimpse of the soul of this chaotic, overwhelming and marvelous city. This is not a story of Cairo, we don’t try to make a minimally comprehensive description of the city. It’s only a short trip around the experiences, feelings and fears that Karla and myself have done on our two-day visit to Cairo.

Day 0

Arriving at an unknown airport in an unknown city at night is always a stressing experience. However in this case the new installations have probably a balsamic effect in our minds, especially if you went from Khartoum in Sudan (and more if you had there the opportunity to watch the “only men” passengers flying to Teheran). In any case when you arrives, you have to navigate a hoard of taxi drivers (and managers)...

The following days in Khartoum we continued with Colab workshops and also could visit places on the city. We met Gama, a Sudanese friend of Hamasik and Felipe (from Brazil), for a coffee at Goethe Institute, his workplace. It is a very pleasant there; they have a beautiful yard where we drank the Ethiopian coffee recipe with scents and ginger. Later, Javier took us to see the place where the 2 Niles meet. It was late afternoon at a park, a mixture of green area with an amusement park, I just loved it.

By the end of the workshop, after we finished the work, Elamin invited us to a boat tour on the Nile. I sat on the stern of the boat and due to the strong sound of the engine I could not hear what people were talking, so, I got quiet observing the landscape. It is interesting to perceive the strength of the river, in a way, everything here is related to it. I imagined the legends and old stories that could exist on the places I was passing by...
