So Long, Farewell...

Engraving Depiction of the Sun god: Ra
Hey guys!  Karl here to post my thoughts and impressions of my experience in Egypt for the past week.  I will say this right now, it's a great place to visit, but I would recommend everyone to wait until Egypt has a more, stable government.  Despite the coup d'etat and the cut on military aid, Egypt is a vibrant country to be in.  I knew for a long time that the U.S. had made many mistakes here and there, but their action here did make me change my view of the United States.  The U.S. seemed to be displeased all because democracy was taken down.  I understand that they have a fear of different forms of government, but they need to loosen up their views on foreign countries.  Before I went to Egypt, all I heard on the news about Egypt was just negativity and violence.  But after visiting the place for just a week, the social media in the U.S. definitely forgot to mention the positive aspects of Egypt.  In fact, I would consider this experience to be very similar to how Rick Steves first visited Iran.  With a vast history that challenges the minds of historians to the present day culture of Egypt, Egypt is a worthwhile place to be in.

Note: Unfortunately though, I didn't find any references to the Egyptian God Cards from the anime TV show: Yu-Gi-Oh!  But I did find multiple of carvings of Ra in ancient stone tablets, just saying...
