I don't even know what to say there is so much. It's a huge culture shock. Tampons don't exist here, at least that I know of. Toilette paper? You can buy it (it's pretty cheep) but most people spray their asses with water. My mom is actually upset that I wont convert. I told her I would sacrifice the tampons and MSG but I will not spray my ass with water. There are donkeys and horses everywhere and stray cats. I'm not talking a few here and there. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. It's Peta's wet dream. All the veggies are fresh and organic. The eggs sit out in the sun (And don't make you sick when you eat them) and meat hangs on hooks. There are shops everywhere selling everything you could imagine. Gold, gold, gold. Everywhere and cheep. The sea is beautiful as well. I wish everyone could see it. I'll take pictures. Alexandria is enormous. By enormous I mean you have to look way up to see the top of a building. It's like new york times ten. -Sigh- /informative rant

Replies Rainbow Blight Posted at 7:10 am on Dec. 18, 2008 Have you seen the pyramids and the Sphinx and all that?  What about a cruise up the Nile River from Cairo to Aswan?  Last time I visited Egypt I took that cruise and it was three days long; we'd stop at lots of historical sites along the way.  And if you're in Cairo, you have GOT to go to the shopping district; I forgot it's name but basically a gigantic market that sells all kinds of stuff from swords to pirated DVDs to anything made of gold to even replicas of small obelisks and Rosetta Stones. Takinam Posted at 9:12 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 Woooow. Lol @ another Ottoman Arab country. I've been to Alexandria before. It looks fine. basma Posted at 7:48 am on Dec. 15, 2008 all my friends who went to egypt they either say it was fun or they say it was disgusting scout123 Posted at 7:48 am on Dec. 15, 2008 wow i'd love more than anything to go to Egypt Dannay Posted at 7:43 am on Dec. 15, 2008 i like the weather in egypt but not the people.. the guys are pervs and i hated the shopping experience :( but like i didn't see many camels.. only out in the desert when i went on a quad bike ride that was fun Catacomb Posted at 7:16 am on Dec. 15, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 2:12 am on Dec. 16, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 7:11 am on Dec. 15, 2008 Wow I want to swap with you right nao. It's actually scary. Last night I was scared shitless on the train and in our taxi. A three lane is really a five lane and no one knows how to drive. Two rules: Go really fast and wedge yourself in wherever you can.   Seat belts? Have yet to see one. they exist only for whoever is driving or riding shotgun Chocolate Thunda Posted at 7:12 am on Dec. 15, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 7:11 am on Dec. 15, 2008 Wow I want to swap with you right nao.
