Arabic/English Dictionary

Yes it exist!

And so I was in that book store just to be shocked! Walking in between sections. Flipping language dictionaries. And there it was. Arabic/ English dictionary. But this time it is Egyptian Dictionary. It is absolutely fine to have egyptian dictionary of course. People visiting Egypt should know its dalicate to be able to communicate. This is the first one I saw. As it says on the cover, it is Egyptian Dictionary.

                


From the pictures, the language used is Egyptian. But when you have an Arabic/English Dictionary  with Emarati guy on it; and inside it you  find Egyptian dialect that would be weird!!!

                     

I assumed the guy in the cover is Emarati from his appearance. This kind of translation is misleading and would make some misunderstanding! Dictionary usually,or as I remember, is written in classic arabic. Using regional dialect is not such a bad idea. But in this case I think it needs to be looked at with cautious.

COSTA & Braille

Braille Menu
Braille system is known as the method that is widely used by blind people to read and write*. For me it was a surprise to see menu written in Braille. But it is nice to see that they care about blind people. Or let's say that they incloud them in their targeted consumer plan. As it is after all buisness for them! This menu was in  COSTA cafe. I tried to read about it in their website, but couldn't really find anything! Still .. it is an impressive thing. Or at least that is how I found it.

Nespresso ~ finally


Finally .. I got it .. Even though some didn't want me to have it. Because I am kind of coffee addicted. But  here it is :) Easy to use. So nice and elegant. When it first worked I was shocked. I didn't expect it to make that noise. But I think I got used to it by now.
When it starts pouring coffee into the cup .. GOD .. it smells so good .. like I am in a cafe ..
I just liked it so much..
You could have your coffee before you read your morning newspaper but not with it. Cause it is a bit not that hot to make it till you finish reading. So I just put it in the microwave for 40 seconds and now I can read and drink at the same time :D

Only in Italian restaurant!


By all means, FUN

Indoor Karting

That day we decided to do some action and not just eating out. So we headed to Indikart indoor karting, UK. First, we had to sign a disclaimer form kind of thing. Then we put on that heavy outfit and helmet. To be honest, we were so excited that we didn't get much photos. Or maybe you could say we were afraid ;)
Anyways, a guy came and took us to room where he explained how the kart works and what signlas mean ... etc. So now it was time for the action. We were seated in karts (maybe better say squeezed in). Mine didn't work at first and I was like .. umm .. should I leave while I still can ;) then we stood by the start line to take off on whistle.
We were only 3 on track. But I guess if it was empty I would've done better. SPEED and ADRENALINE .. it was amaaaazing. We even got printed result for our preformance!





Printed results, I was second *_*
