In Alexandria. yes, the very same Alexandria where Antony crowns himself and Cleopatra the rulers of Egypt after having fallen out with the rest of the triumvir and just before the battle of Actium. All throughout the play actually, Alexandria is mentioned and is made out to be the stronghold of Egypt. The Cleopatra in this case by the way, was really a queen. Cleopatra VIII to be exact, one of the long line of Ptolemies.

anyways, it's located along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. So the whole stretch of road is considered a Corniche or as wiki says, a waterfront promenade. The seafood is SHIOK SIAL and i'm not even a seafood person. They actually put a whole grilled fish about the length of a dinner plate infront of me and i ate it. Fresh from the med sea, baby! with bits of deep fried calamari and this cumin-flavoured short grained brown rice..good stuff.

well you can see a teensy bit of the vast expanse that is the med sea. and just so you know, the saturation's been jacked up a bit and i intensified the shadows. no the lumix does not have magical powers haha!
