We waited for about one hour, till another bus came by chance and took us. Sigh, There is certainly something weird in the transportation in Egypt.

When you talk you ping, when you recieve some talking you pong and so on. so It is like ping-pong ping-pong.

Mimicking the game of tennis in an indoor environment, everyday objects were originally enlisted to act as the equipment.
