Imagine, a time machine falls through the ceiling of your bedroom and suddenly you are faced with an astonishing opportunity to experience any era or any historical event you could have only read about, dreamt off or told about.
Times which were and are still recorded relentlessly in documents and in non-fictional books such as 'The rise and fall of Rome' and movies such as 'Spartacus', 'Al Risala (The Message)' that we watch for our own purposes. Entertainment, knowledge, to experience the most minute and possibly irrelevant amount of what it might have been like to live there and then, yet what is still only what we imagine then to have been...
You're faced with a life changing decision and your fantasy is now at the touch of a few buttons...with so many options and so many flashing thoughts, what would you want to see? Who would you want to meet?
You see a stop clock on the machine displaying a withering ten minutes before the machine takes off, and you are faced with an endless directory of dates and years, names and events...etc.
So if you could select a destination to go, a time to see, a historical figure to meet (a prophet, a politician, a movie star, an artist, an inventor, anybody...), or a huge event to witness... what would be your first option? And why? What would you want to do or what would you want to ask of a person you've for so long admired, or for so long been taught to resent?

like the movie i saw is funny. "Lelet Soqout Baghdad", is hysterical. the cast is Ahmed Eid, Basma, Hassan Hosny. is about The film discusses the effects of American attack over Iraq in Egypt. Ahmed Eid plays a chemistry scientist is in assignment for new invention while Basma is a painter. They belong to Egyptian Family effected with political events in Arab World.
you should watch that, they are funny
hey msrya how r u and hi everyone
well i would love to live in the 50s and 60s where everything was much more simple and cool i would love to see all those movie stars u meantioned above and maybe travel around the world to see how it was like
i hope i can do that someday looool
Well..The destination i would choose is to Heaven since everybody is living just to dream how it looks like and be there after they succeed in The exam God has given us which is Life..I would love to be there for just a moment for another reason which is my sister whom I really miss 'May God rest her soul'..If there was really a time machine i wouldnt hesistate experiencing it just for the sake of meeting her..I guess thats all i could wish for the time being and i would just like to dedicate these words to her:
If tears could build a stair way
and memories build a lane,
i'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again!
Take care all of You :)
If i could go anywhere i'd like, i would probably choose to travel back to the time where titanic sank.. horrible, but interesting!
