Death is less interesting topics to be discussed even though all living things in this world is going to feel it, but I am intrigued to raise this issue if the roots of its culture is Egypt, the country that made me admire him because his name mentioned in many religious scriptures which I have adopted.

All must know, Egypt is a country that passes through so many periods in every inch of his history, so that inevitably the Egyptian culture can be said to be a culture of “cocktail” or mixed culture of all civilizations, though of course there are civilizations that are now dominated by the civilizations Islam. This is also affecting how people look in the case of the death of Egypt.

Places that interest me about death are the two cities, first in Dua’ia (Du’aiqoh) and the second in Tubromli, an area that includes very close to the apartment which I dwell. The first time I had in mind when looking at the exact place of the dead vast cemetery is in two towns in Cairo is no feeling haunted and spooky at all. Almost every day when lectures at Al-Azhar is on, I always pass through his city of the dead in Du’aiah. You need to know, Dua’iah is one area in the cemetery since Islam was introduced to Egypt. Tomb inhabited by people at the time of Salahuddin Al-Ayyubid the conqueror of Jerusalem, as well as the human grave from the Fatimid dynasty which had thousands of years old.

In fact, the strangeness of it actually incurred by the existence of another fact that makes my eyes wide open. That almost all (substitute the word a lot), the tombs were always a doorman or people who make the tomb as a home and their average is the poor who do not have a house in Cairo.

It turns out that make them feel at home in the cemetery is one of these forms in Cairo is not the same cemetery with graves of the cemetery like in Indonesia, although there are some of the same. Tombs in Cairo in design as well as the house with a living room, has a water channel and the rooms even have a dome like a mosque.

Interestingly again, this body houses have bunker.

Dead bodies were not buried in Cairo, they just put in a room that is under ground. They are arranged in such a way like a set of goods. I never mentioned this problem to my teacher because of the way as it was not buried there in a way that Islam as I learned in the books of Fiqh, he was a doctor named DR. Mathrowi, a graduate of the University of Cairo, he explained the case from the angle of the soil structure in Cairo.

Land in Cairo in the form of fine sand, this is causing way to bury the dead could not be done like a way of burying the Islamic system by making a hole so many yards, then there is a special place for corpses, and so on like in Indonesia. When done by way of burying the Islamic system, then the land will be landslides. That is why they chose the way bunker in burying corpses, anyway for a year the bodies were still going to rot and become bone.

The safest day to avoid heavy traffic on the area of vehicles on the roads is used as a parking lot Friday morning, because, on this day not many cars that operate as a national holiday Egypt. There are also special days that must be very secure that after Maghrib in Ramadan, because at the hour when it was rarely out of the house of Egypt’s people to improve and prepare iftar meals tarawih prayers, it seems from my experience through the streets in Egypt, only two this time most survived.

There are also areas that make extremely severe road as a parking lot that is in the region as the place Darrosah establishment of Al-Azhar University. Roads in the area are very narrow, because the arrangement since the town was built during the Fatimid dynasty which time his vehicle was a horse and himar. We passed the most difficult routes in the region Darrosah because when a car passes from different lines, often times we have to resign to give way first.

At least companies and official offices in Egypt has a reason why they use the shoulder of the road as a parking lot. The most concrete reason is because the land in Egypt is very expensive, so for them to give or to build a special area for parking is considered income. Better to use the region free like the highway that has been cared for by the government’s handling. At least this is the answer when I asked my friend a house that the original Egyptians.

Imaginable, rents a house in the area where the diplomats live Dokky, at least one month for 3000 up to 5000 pounds, equivalent to 700-1000 dollars. If the rental price of his house just that much, then what is the cost of land which was established to build houses, when vacant land is built just to make a parking lot, certainly a very loss count-count at all.

Actually the new apartments already provide many of the parking lot on the ground floor. So do some office buildings, but in reality, the parking lot below the apartments are often changed its function as a warehouse of goods or in the absence of an elevator that connects the upper floor so that the residents of the apartment lazy to park his car in the parking lot. The victim was a highway as an alternative to the car park.

Readers who’ve been to the Egyptian would have known about the phenomenon of highway that was used as a parking lot. Such sights are common in Cairo. In fact, the simple, the Egyptians often stopped parking in the middle of the road with a relaxed, even when protests turn of protest and said, “you can still run the car next to me”, even though it was clear she was violated because the park in the middle of the road. Those are some very ignorant Egyptians, regardless of the circumstances of others, although of course this can not be generalized, because this is part of the phenomenon.

Right there in front of the gates of the Panda Breeding small substations, where ticket sales plus a small souvenir shop that sell a variety of unique souvenirs Panda. This place makes the vast area divided into several places. Captive for an adult Panda, Panda is still captive to a child.

There is also a building with the space containing the incubator space, warehouses to store food Panda, a mound of bamboo sticks (typical food Panda). There is also research & development space. The venue covers an area of approximately 92 hectares was living in some captive panda.
Start to walk around the open space between the bamboo grove of trees I see a direct Panda was relaxing. With striped white hairy body in the eyes and legs missing, you would immediately recognize this cute creature.

From a distance you can see there is someone in uniform was handed a set of bamboo, which has cut the size of 30-50 cm and is given to the Panda. Casually took the bamboo is still there bud, then the tops were eaten and chewed slowly. Panda eating bamboo is often depicted with a naturally relaxed posture. Panda is not a hunting scene, so the impression arises, Panda is a beast that was funny, sweet and loves peace.

Panda by taxonomists are carnivorous animals, but the food like herbivorous animals, most plants, generally of bamboo only. But technically these animals are omnivores because they also eat eggs and insects are both a source of protein for the body as well.

That lifestyle is Panda in captivity. Morning meals continue to sleep, in the afternoon eating and to sleep again. Speaking of Panda and its habitat, this place is a “fake” from its original habitat, because Pandas originally live in the mountains between the border of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu Province.

Especially at night they relax at some small cafes, while watching TV, eating and drinking beer, Lao tem beer, of course (very light beer, the youth in Lao also liked to drink beer). Outside the atmosphere downtown was a little dark and lonely but because the State government is very hard, crime is rare. In addition to roadside restaurant west or china dishes, many are selling pancakes and fruit.

Activities during the day, of course adventure, caving, kayaking, cycling, trekking, and tubing. This increased tire in tubing in the river gliding. Fun because it is very difficult to control. Caving is suitable for beginners.

A good month for the Lao is October to February (dry and cool), from March to May, may also be due to dry and a little heat (including d rain). The most severe is the month of June to October due to monsoon rain or really heavy.
