Only In Algeria

You know how we sometimes receive forwarded mails attached with really bizarre photos of places/ people/ languages/ menus... blahx3.

And the caption says "Only in India" - if the photo shows 50 people squeezing in a 4-seater truck for example?! Or "Only in China" -if the photo shows people eating rats for example?!

Well, here are some interesting photos I snapped while I was in Algeria for the past one year plus... some photos might have been posted before, but nevertheless, let us take a look at them again shall we.

May I present to you . . . "Only in Algeria".

I got a T10 Sony CyberShot, and i still can't manage to get such clear pics' as yours when i'm on car, even with the "High speed shutter" mode, so which digital camera do you have, Ô divine Deep-Sixed ? :P

deepsix said...

Well actually, I'm using a very out-dated cam. with only 3.2 mega pixels and it's almost 5yrs old now. So nothing to rave abt. -____-

Phaeton said...

... *Frozen* ...

So it has defenitely nothing to do with the hardware, mine being up to 7.2 Mp.
That brings us to the out-dated and almost 27 years old user : Me ! xD

deepsix said...

*hahaha* 27 yrs old... *hmmm*... do I know u from somewhere?

Phaeton said...

Nope, wish we had though ... é__è

I was looking for foreigners blogging about their journey in Algeria when i picked up SOMETHING's and yours a couple of months ago, since then i'm a faithful reader ! :P

Ganbatte futaritomo ! v(^o^)v

deepsix said...

Ahhh~... I see.

So are u a fellow Singaporean also planning to visit North Africa & The Middle East some day? ;)

Phaeton said...

That could have been a possibility, but actually it's the reversed one : i'm Algerian fallen in love with Asia ! ¤__¤

deepsix said...

Fallen in love with Asia eh...~ Well, perhaps we can all meet up in Algeria some day and exchange some interesting stories over a cup of coffee. ;)

Phaeton said...

Yep ! Sure ! :D

But ...

For being a faithful reader (remember ?), i've been told that you might be on coffee-diet, so would it be okay for you exchanging interesting stories while SOMETHING and i will be sipping thru persed lips that stimulating warm and overwhelming beverage ? ^^"

deepsix said...

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pull hair*

Nooooo!!! I have to have coffee! *hahaha*

Tell u what, I'll stay off coffee from now till the time we sit down for a cuppa *cross fingers behind back*... *evil grin*~

Phaeton said...

I'm confident, i know you'll keep up your word, women always do ! :P

Congratz' for the apartment, if you need some help moving in i'm just about 2500 miles further west.

Enjoy your stay in Lebanon, try not to spread more bombings meanwhile, and i hope seeing you back here soon ... even if you both don't ! xD

Buddy back-slam to SOMETHING ! ~Yeah~

The stray cat drinking from the fountain is the best!
