Personal Disaster in Khartoum
Well...I dropped my glasses and broke one of the lenses...
To people who know me enough...I am really short-sighted...Therefore this classifies as a disaster for me...
I called the company and called the driver who was supposed to come over to pick me up. They got him to go to find an optician's that open up early enough, he did that then he came back to pick me up, went there and got myself my first pair of extended duration contact lenses (I do not know how to put them or how to take them off, but then lets worry about that later!!)...It cost me 2 times as much as it would in Egypt...I really hope I was not being ripped off thinking I was a stupid foreigner or because the Sudanese do not like the Egyptians like Waleed was telling me...
Anyway...May God bless the administrator at the company who took care of this...May God bless the driver, the optician and the inventor of contact lenses...

Lets go get some new glasses together in Cairo ! I need some too :) Miss you ... eshta see you NEXT WEEK ! In FROZEN NYC.
I'm sorry for you ya timo for breakng your glasses, but what i've known from some Sudanese friends that the living expenses in Sudan is even cheaper than Egypt!! but may such kind of technology isn't counted in :)
I've been dealing with few Sudanese people during my studies, and i've recognised something strange about them, that the stereotype about them that they're lazy is so true, but when the smart people among them are brilliantly smart, that's why the first and the fifth of my class were Sudanese, and the other 2 Sudanese guys were among the last 10!!

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.

hi there
well i found this blog and i know when am writing this i might not even go through it again...
n it means i dont want nothing but letting u know what i think,not waiting for ur response,,,let me ask for how long u stayed in sudan?
u know what my grand mother was from egypt,but iam totally sudanese,i love egypt...but lets talk about FACTS....which is when i was in cairo da last time,starting from the taxi man to the guy on da internet cafe...they were all ripping me off my money thinking am kinda stupid or sth....it happens everywhere....some of people there actually living like that....let me ask u something stop in the middle of the road here in sudan...n shout someone took my money someone help me pleas,n you will find that 90%of them are helping you out...not like when i was asking for some directions in cairo....some of them didnt even look at me.....let me say another thing....in alex ,people were nicer,why i dont know..lazy and all that,its kinda making me in da attacking mood u know...tho it should not be like this,but mayb u should just think carefully before giving judgemental opinions....
Sorry to see that you took this too negatively especially that I have never said that people dont get ripped off in Egypt. Me being Egyptian in Egypt usually means that I do not get ripped off as easily...However, being Egyptian in Sudan is different...
I am sorry but I do not see where was my judgemental opinion of Sudan and the Sudanese...if you can point out the exact words where that was evident then please share them with me...
