Doing the Freedom Trail
Thursday, October 9th, 2008
When you ever come to Boston, the Freedom Trail is one of the top attractions. This mostly bricked path winds its way through downtown Boston and connects 16 historic sights. The 4km (2.5 mile) long path starts at the Boston Common and ends up in Charlestown, at the Bunker Hill Monument, right across the Charles […]
Travelbert in Harvard University
Thursday, October 9th, 2008
On Tuesday my good old friends from Powerflasher did run a little programmers conference regarding their product, called FDT. I had to do two presentations on that event, that was why I’m actually here in Boston. The auditorium could be a little busier at this time, but the live stream I did setup for my […]
Rodizio at Midwest Grill
Monday, October 6th, 2008
Tonight we had an awesome dinner in Cambridge, at the Midwest Grill. Again I trusted the Lonely Planet to recommend us this beautiful brazilian restaurant on Cambridge St. Of course all of us took the excellent rodizio-style brazilian BBQ, where you’ll get variations of grilled meat served to your table until you can’t take no […]
Bought US cellphone
Sunday, October 5th, 2008
We’ve been at a Radio Shack today, and there I saw some damn cheap prepaid phones. Cheap like reeeal cheap, like $14.99 cheap. So I thought it would be a good idea to buy one of those so that it will be cheaper to do US calls and stay connected with my US friends. I […]
Something huuuuge is going on
Sunday, October 5th, 2008
Long time I was not traveling for joy, this is why there were no news or travel stories in the last couple of months. I did a lot of busines trips to the US during this times but nothing real noteworthy. Anyway, I just started another adventure, something way bigger then all the other travels. […]
The Egyptian Museum + Trip Conclusion
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

We liked especially the ground floor […]
It’s belly dance time
Monday, May 12th, 2008
Tonight we wanted to check out some Belly-dance. For this we’ve chosen the Seramiris InterContinental, where the famous Dina is dancing (one of the top belly dancers in Egypt). But before we went to Abu El-Sid restaurant, in Zamalek for a nice dinner and, of course, another sheesha (love that stuff).
There we enjoyed a nice […]
Very good, very cheap and very Cairo
Monday, May 12th, 2008
After our visit of Al-Azhar Mosque, we took the underground shortcut over to Midan Hussein, the place in front of the Mosque of Sayyidna al-Hussein and where the craziness of the Khan al-Khalili starts. Right behind the restaurants with outdoor seating, are a couple of alleys to enter the Khan. We took that one on […]

The Scam and the Pyramids
Saturday, May 10th, 2008
So, today we’ve started after just four hours of sleep to the Pyramids of Giza. Because we’re in a rush on this trip (just three full days), we thought it might be a good idea to take the offer of our hotel guys and book a tour to Giza, Saqqara and Memphis for 100LE, so […]
