Ethiopia YOU, YOU, YOU PEN, MONEY, FOOD After crossing the border from Sudan (45 Degrees) into Ethiopia (green lushious mountains) it was a welcoming change. Not only had we been craving a slightly cooler temperature that allowed you to sleep at night but also a nice cold beer (no alcohol in Egypt or Sudan as it was Ramadan and both very muslim).

Turkey The land of the kebab and where woman are second class citizens. The Bulgarian Turkish border took us 2 hours to cross as we needed a visa and we needed car insurance for bringing in a car and then we needed the car stamped in my passport so that I don't leave the country without it. It took some adjusting getting used to Turkey map sizes as to me Istanbul looked close to the border but I was used to small countries like Macedonia and Bul...
