Here is Gravdal's footballshirt. This is how easy it could be done:

Here are my resting post number one for Egypian Thee (with two sugars and milk), and five minutes on a chair. The boys were a bit on stirring on day one, but now it's "As-salaamu alaykum" (may peace be with you ") and hand shaking.

The tough men are hard on water pipes and on the picture you have chief smoker in the backyard (he asked to be taken photo of) Hookah is particularly prevalent in the Arab world. In Egypt it is called "shisha", "hookah" or "narghile". 

Of C!!!  it is harmful! but if you haven't stopped with filth (the smoke) and fails with  nicotine patch, then the water pipe can be something in the right direction. Maybe not practical  if you smoke in the car - and the car is a Nissan Micra, - but you get less of that - you know what - in the lungs ....

No football shirts today, but was a background part (and photo man ) of the prayer, and have got new muslim mates that tells me about Islam.

Jump in and learn;

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام‎ al-’islām, is the religion articulated by the Qur’an, a religious book, and (qute; my muslim mates) the verbatim word of the single incomparable God (Arabic: الله‎, Allāh), and by the Prophet of Islam Muhammad's demonstrations and real-life examples.An adherent of Islam is a Muslim, meaning "one who submits to God. (you did not now that, did you??)  The word Muslim is the active participle of the same verb of which Islām is the infinitive.

Islamic law  touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from dietary laws and banking to warfare, and welfare and the vast majority of Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (87–90%) and Shi'a (10–13%).

With approximately 1.57 billion Muslims, Islam is the second-largest religion in the world and arguably the fastest growing religion in the world.

and The Natioanl Team, ( hey! you did read my last blog about the party last evening? ) all went down and did their pray in front of 50.000 fans yesterday! A popular part of the event!

I'll find my malaria medicine tomorrow.. Inshallah

Bjorn, hunting for a symbol for www.unhcr.org and learning !

PS! Yes! got some help from www.wkipedia.org tooo..;-)

Yasser, the general manager and my new Egyptian mate, guide, and helper, Ahmed  fixed me in on the football-lets-salute-the-african-champion-party yesterday. Face painting, flags, and a crowd of 50,000 singing and moving Egyptians, one Norwegian, and the national team of Egypt with the king of Arabic pop; Amr Diab (!)

When I say fixed me in..  Ahmed, at. 12.00; "you've got a photo together with Sepp Blatter, FIFA is suporting you.. 

 Ahmed takes a few calls and with with a blue neck ties, with FIFA on (ohh yes, got the of Blatter!), and with Ahmed as the official guide for the court reporter Heidenstrom, -  we were suddenly past guards and in the good seats. The seats were not used because it was a jumping, singing, and shouting party. Fantastic crowd! andd they now how to bouth sell and use the flags..... (yes it's a MMS shot..)

1 hour with the national team and then the king of Arabic Pop entered the stage before he was all over the stadium (and a special show in front of the son of the Presiden..) The came up and did a sing along, and even I tried to do my part. (I was great on Habibi!)

I guess the National team is home asleep now, but  you can meet Amr Diab are HERE! - With English subtitles. You should fast forward for about 3 minutes. Diab walks around with his  guitar that long... and you'll jump to the third minute and sing HABIBI !!!!!!!!! ... ( "My darling")

Yours Diab, and:

Bjorn Heidenstrom
