EGYPTIAN ASIAN WEDDING-AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

 Hey Crazy cat lovers,

It was an amazing week to experience culture , and make exciting new memories. Going to a destination wedding brings you a chance to travel and explore a city in a new and unexpected way. It allows you to have the opportunity to spend time with family members that you don't see every day. The time you spend with each other makes the connection stronger. Before you go, there's a level of excitement that you look forward to going to a different country. Going through security and becoming an international citizen when they're stamping your passport. Going in the plane and fastening your seatbelt  while the plane is taking off. Watching on the mini screens to pass the time while you're in the air is a wonderful experience. Travelling in style in a wheelchair was the highlight of my experience in the airport.

Airports can be a tiring experience for most people, but the journey to your accommodation gives you the chance to look forward to resting and relaxing for a while. Experiencing new surroundings can be challenging if you're not on your home turf. Setting foot in the new parts of Cairo left me gobsmacked at the beauty of the greenery surrounding the area, as I breathed in the affluence of an evolving area in Palm Hills. Seeing vast construction as houses were being built  in the early stages with scaffolding still stuck to some of the structures was an impressive sight to see. The villa was massive with about 3 floors, it took a bit of getting used to for a visually impaired person like me, but once I knew my way around it gave a chilled out vibe. The pool was an iconic feature because  it allowed me to cool down from the 30 degree heat. The water was warm at first, but freezing cold after a while. I was shivering. 

Going to the pyramids was the highlight of the trip. It was a way to explore the city before all the festivities of the wedding could begin. Seeing huge architectural structures that were bult to tower over a five foot something human like me, was amazing. Imagining how long it must have taken them to build them back in the day without machinery was just mind-boggling. Going in coaches to see the different areas of where the pyramids were was an accessible way to get around while taking awesome HD photography of them. The next day was the nikah ceremony which was a blast. The food was mouthwatering. The lemon and mint drink was refreshing. I had loads of fun cheering and shouting until my voice was a little bit hoarse. There was some great tunes blasting  from the speakers that made you wanna move to the beat of the music. 

Experiencing village life was quite humbling as a city person that has never been out in the sticks before because we as people rely heavily on internet and satellites etc. Seeing the corn fields and witnessing a whole swarm of insects that would make some people run for their lives was awesome. The food I ate was delicious it was chicken, kebabs, crisps with some sauce, and this wrap thing. It was really scrumptious. Then later we went to a different venue after getting ready in a beautiful dress and having my hair done, and wearing make-up (a.k.a warpaint) that made people awestruck. I had this fantastic chocolate cake that I devoured in seconds. There was a floor you could dance on. I went all out and didn't realise there was a screen there showing live footage of the event. Fun times. I took a few videos to remember the day.

Lets just flashback to the coach ride there. It was really long and tiring, blasting some authentic Bollywood classics from the movies I used to watch back in the day. I had a wicked time singing along to some of them, while eating spring rolls. Okay, let's fast-forward to the BBQ. There was this massive spread of burgers, chicken, wings, brisket, steak, birria tacos, potato salad, coleslaw, and drinks such as mocktails called Colatonic and a passion one. It was top notch Michelin-star food. Out of this world delicious. I hammered a whole tray of the food. Also there was this Twix ice-cream cake that I gobbled cuz it was something innovative that I'd never tried before. The villa where it was held was in the middle of no where, like a paper town from that John Green book. It was a beautiful abode with a swimming pool and everything. I had a great time sitting with absolute legends in the backyard of this villa. They are some of my favourite people in this world. There was some cool decor with flowers and other food on the table. I took some photography of it. One setback was that the power went off and we were in pitch-black darkness for some time. I was blind for a really long time. It reminded me of power outages in other countries. When it came back on I was cheering so loudly cuz I had my sight back again. 

Also one time the gas went off, which is a crazy memory to look back on. There was another table with decor on it with gifts and I took loads of pictures of that. It was a cool set up with flowers etc. I had some strawberry mocktail drink that was refreshing and absolutely divine. I wore this red abaya with an inside thing on, which was really cool.

The main day was in this Mountain Rose Hotel. There was a photo booth, glitter face paint thing. The food was amazing. I wore this long pink gown. Went there in style I guess. The music was super loud. It was like 'club vibes,' but I enjoyed dancing to the songs. I had this fancy updo with two plaits at the front and a bun behind it was looking slick and flawless. I had make-up on to give me that glowing look with the glowy tan going on from the heat of the blazing sun. I took some pictures and videos of that too.  I took some pictures of flowers. 

Lets flashback to the day I was taken to a salon. Best day of my existence. I had a wash, blow-dry, and got my hair curled. I was on cloud-9. I had a pedicure as well, it was a five star experience. I nearly fell asleep. I looked like model-material. I was ready to strut down some catwalk. Overall, the laughs and banter that I had with family members was the best time I had all week. I even became a masseuse of heads. The uncles nearly fell asleep. No joke. I used my skills in head pressing to take people to cloud 9. I gave a five star service. 

Another day, I had some greasy delicious pizza and fried chicken. It was good food. Then we had a spread of fast food in the villa and it was next level greatness. Meeting new family members was a great experience as there is more loudness and closeness with each other. It was something different to experience new cultures. It was the most maddest fun week. 

I have to quote someone while having loads of fun in a different country. It goes along the lines of:

'When in Rome.'

Also:

'Smile and wave like the Penguins in Madagascar.'

I'll happily steal that first line from someone.

I'm really missing Egypt.

Over and out.
