Hungarians have landed

The Magyar's have broken the outer walls of Cairo and a full invasion now seems inevitable.
The penetration was foiled for a couple of frigging hours by the not-a-least-bit-incompetent Cairo airport immigration staff, who instantly recognised the high risk profile of two hungarians travelling together to Cairo - the classic terrorist profile if ever I've heard one. The airport dumbasses took decided they needed to go in investigate this one, and retired to their High Command Investigations Centre to launch a full investigation, taking the passports with them.
And what an investitgation it was, because it took almost two hours - from 3.20 am when the plane landed, to just after 5 in the morning when they managed to go through passport control. It was best experienced on the other side, waiting around in Cairo airport through the ungodliest hours of the morning from Peter and Mark to come out, having no idea what is going on. We could occasionally get a glimpse of them through the tinted glass seperating the arrivals area from the waiting room but given that passport control and a shitload of guards in between, there was no way we were going to talk to them.
Great work Cairo Airport. It was a blast for all involved.
Anyhow all is cool now, the Huns are settled in and ready to devour Egypt over the next two weeks. Expect updates, and get familiar with cannibalism.

Tom, I wasn't investigated and still it took me around 70 mins to get out of the airport! After missing my connecting flight from Milan, and arriving around 9 hours late. At least Mongy came to pick me up with his own car... took me around Cairo by night and then met Devrim and typics Digs, instead of giving me a welcome hug he was beating me up and twisting my previously broken elbow.. :)
