| So we were on the plane to our diving holiday in Egypt... A 25 person school orchestra was lifting celloes, harps and what not on the plane... I see a grey-haired guy in front of me and say out loud 'Oh, it's Herr Ruhland', a kid in front of me turns round and asks 'yes, do you know him'? It was our music teacher from 20 years ago! He still remembered us after a bit of warming up and gave his regards to my brother... I told him that the only equivalent coincidence was meeting my English teacher Herr Leistl at a gas station in Dover... He replied 'Und daa hat er moi net graucht, da Herr Leistl'.... | ||

| The area around Hurghada is terrible. Hotel after hotel and ruin after ruin as they ran out of cash after the Luxor shootings and September 11 and the Iraq war. Only the Russians still come in flocks... Good thing we were staying far away from this modern Tourist hell.... | ||

| Flying out of Hurghada back home.... And Herr Ruhland and his 25 man orchestra was on the plane again! | ||
