So I finally got around to reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

If you haven't read it, let me tell you that you are missing out on some of the most certifiably insane characters and scenes of all time.

Where to even begin with this book...? So we're in the Han Dynasty (very roughly a contemporary of the Roman Empire) and It Is a Time of Unrest.

Evil eunuchs control the imperial court.

Bandit armies kill and plunder at will.

Noblemen are getting assassinated *on the very same page they're introduced.*

Life pro tip: When you get invited to a traditional Bedouin wedding in the Egyptian desert, YOU SAY YES.

Here's how it went down... I was hanging around the Pyramids with a local dude named Sayid, who casually mentioned that his cousin was getting married on Friday.

I said I would definitely like to check that out.

Sayid seemed kinda surprised, but he said "Sure, let's do it!"
