Some of us may be astonished to know that German Ambassador to Egypt Martin Koebler participates in the 13th Lusxor International Annual Festival marathon without any bodyguards, competing everybody to get an advancing order, while the Egyptians stand at both sides of the road to give him a bottle of water to drink and pour the rest on his body in a simple astonishing way. The importance of this sports event and spontaneity of the German ambassador lies in removing barriers between people and encouraging each other without any barrier of any kind.
