Champions, painting, flags and HABIBI !!!
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.. Â Ahmed, at. 12.00; "you've got a photo together with Sepp Blatter, FIFA is suporting you..Â
 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..)
Â
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
PS! My favorite word on this planet is enthusiasm.   Egypt and Diab - you got it!
