El Earth tour Featurette

Features a tip

Egypt is a country of tourism, tip is a tourism supplementary revenue, to the tourists for a tip is a very common phenomenon.

Prior to this, we have prepared, such as: tour drivers tips, $ 6/person per day. Accommodation Hotel bedside tip, is US $ 1 per person per day. Nile cruise, $ 2 per person per day. Tourism Yewo train, US $ 1 per person per day. Airport luggage cart, per 1 USD per vehicle. Hotel luggage delivery, every time $ 1 per item. Toilets, 1 Egyptian pound (EGP 1 equals 1.3 Yuan). In addition, those who accept other people's services, such as ask a road take a photo for anything, all will be paid to the other tips. Originally the "Islam," HI hostel is now turned into a proactive "solicit", so some people joke that Egypt is a tip.

To Cairo, that's the case, then I will eat at the first time, in the exchange rate is too low, change to the Taiwan National proprietress of many a small ticket EGP.

Because other aside, the toilet but essential. Accommodation in hotel in the evening, I asked the guide is a guide to tipping, the answer is that a tip was voluntary payment, and may not be paid. According to this rule, the next morning I took the dollar, but took a box of essential balm（20G） on the small table, night back to take a look at the essential balm（20G） was taken away. The leader of small music also told me that today she ask for directions to the police, the police sought to her, she didn't bring essential balm（20G） essential balm（20G） zhuanghutu only. In Egypt in those days, a lot of money in the bathroom. Shopping centres, attractions, road side service area, toilet door have all of the standing charge. Even the toilet should be free to use, the airport restaurant dining, museums, the door will stand delivery, a paper person, if you do not want to pay for the 1 EGP tip, you do not accept paper nor any of their services. But Egypt people or very honest, if you give is 1 dollar, he will find also 4 El pounds.

In the Temple of Luxor visit Kanak, I went to the back of the temple, I saw a lady with a gun security came to me for pointing me to take pictures, I put the camera handed to him.

I took a picture, take me to an out-of-the-way attractions and took a picture. I see no visitors around, suddenly guard up, from his hand back camera walked to the people. The security came out with the Palm of the hand, I understand what he is asking for a tip, he fumbled in the package, found a box of light oil in his hands. Looked at him surprised, I smiled quickly left him. Back talk in this matter, the CityGuide ' number that does a little scared, but I still stick to your usual perspective "of this world more than the bad guy." The second day visiting the pyramids, the tour guide to show us the best for sites with, I will please guide me to shoot some photos. After the shooting, I think yesterday that a curtain, from Pocket two boxes of essential balm（20G） placed in the hands of the Guide, see the guide amazing questions, I smiled and said, this tip is for you.

At Cairo airport, saw a row of idle of luggage, I also want to push a car.

Can one set of luggage with a can't-do not open. A foreigner came, I motioned to ask him for help, the foreigner, a long time also la won't open. Suddenly he thought of nothing, from Pocket a coin into the handle side of a small opening in the next luggage a la is opened. The original unattended luggage will be paid. I do not know what his vote, or currency of any coins, only to mesh-Xie. The foreigner-friendly smiling away. The return of an airplane, a foreigner and I changed the seat. On the edge of a human using Chinese Egypt told me that "you asked and he places, you should pay him $ 100." Look at him as if it was joking, but if you follow the domestic habits, and joke you can answer "Yes", then the joke might become reality, because foreigners were very valued promise. And if you answer "I don't give", you would look Chinese too stingy. So my answer is, "he did not ask to have it or lose it." Foreigners are suddenly mute the mouth, and I own clever answer my secret self pride.

Others II camera

In the scenic tour, there are often unable to find the same to the CityGuide, had to please tourists from other countries to take up.

Regardless of the State which colour will seriously help on several sheets, and sometimes the same, I also shot a for them, is friendly to each other. In Hu-Gotha holiday village, I was alone in the garden, a walk from the side of staff saw, offer to take pictures, shoot for me after I also do not have to ask for tips. So I'd rather have my video card that sentence "in this world or the good man more."

In Egypt there are two interesting photo experience.

Once in Cairo "City Star" department stores, I wandered aimlessly, kill some time. Suddenly saw a young woman in Egypt as a man and a woman two lovely children taking photographs. I was forgetting all Pack, stepped forward, and the two children to take together. Lady Egypt women use my camera after the two, and with her camera has two tickets. Finished shooting the larger after about eight or nine-year-old girl standing in front of me, pointing at his hands and said to me. I think she is not seeking the Palm-up cable, thought she must not ask for tips, furthermore they also took me twice to say is even. I think that girls are mostly want to know the camera with her is that a country's citizens, he himself said to her "Shanghai". She can't understand, and use English said, "china shanghai", she may not speak English, still at a loss of face, I threw away from her. Go in a circle and having a girl, she walked up to me the same tame what hands said, I have the same himself on her repeated saying "china shanghai", she is still the same faces at sea. I cannot communicate with her, and her only regret bye-bye. After wantPlay this thing, I think that I should give her a box of light oil, not as a tip but rather as a remembrance, maybe she saw the Chinese dragon on the box, it will guess that I am a Chinese. Can I do not know yet.

There is also a time in the Red Sea Riviera Beach, I prowled around on the beach, while enjoying the beautiful Bay side shoot a photo.

I saw the sea, many people in the hip hop water, sand and mushroom-shaped Brown sat down under the umbrella of lying on sat, from all over the world visit people, mostly in Europe. Those plump fertilizer T'ai Nan's European beauty very vigilant, as long as there are camera lens to them, they will be turned away or go sideways, a fashionable words, is a strong sense of self protection. I can shoot from a distance, or will be closer to the lens on several sheets. Go take a look, it is entertaining. Suddenly a man in swimming trunks for European foreigners came, motioned to me taking a photo, I readily agreed. He used his left hook up my shoulder oblique lift the muscular right arm, so that his companions to our smiley took off. I think, he beat me, I have to shoot him, and let the side stands the CityGuide to use my camera also took two tickets. Suddenly, I found him and the companions of the language is Russian conversation, we used a simple word "Russia" and asked him, seeing he nodded in Russia who they really are, I also use Russian said, "Shanghai", he also answered a sentence "Moscow", we are the heart of laughed, very friendly with each other. I went over to their side, waved said: "Das Vader Banja" (Goodbye), they are the same to me waved said-"Das Vida." At this very moment, in the beautiful Red Sea, warm sun, and people no longer have the nationality of racial gaps and barriers, there's just the beauty and goodness of human nature. Also think about 40 years ago the Russian should be used in Africa, no yaranshixiao. Look at the surrounding foreign tourists, I cannot help but recall the more than 50 years ago, when I was a little girl, occasionally in several Huaihai Road see blond aliens, then only felt their was so mysterious, and high. Now I can be on the relationship between the parties, and their equal friendship. I deeply as increasingly strong and proud proud of China, this kind of feelings only go out after the experience of more profound, more strongly, that is, each of the overseas Chinese heart and patriotic feelings.

Features three shopping

In Egypt and Turkey of shops in shopping, about the price is a test of patience, shopkeepers will patiently and bargaining, as long as you have enough patience, you can buy a satisfactory price to the choice of commodity.

Come out of the Internet on the introduction of Arab sweets, that is with hazelnut, pistachio, walnuts, pine nuts, figs and so on all kinds of nuts in sweets is delicious, is Turkey's most famous candies. So after I to Istanbul intends to buy some back to the family relatives and friends. Leaving the night arranged we went to the Grand Bazaar shopping, numerous shops in finally found a shop selling Arab sweets. Only shops stacked a box of cartridges-sweets, colorful, very beautiful. Ask the price, we will begin the long and the shopkeepers of the bargaining process. Soft Candy split large box and small box two, offer $ 4 and US $ 2. We select small box, a box of 1 dollar a counter-offer. The shopkeeper dropped $ 1.5 will persist in a box no longer cut down. We turned left, going to go to another shop. How far out do not have caught the owner we called back, but he was still holding on to $ 1.5 price of a box, we think, 1 US dollar a box may be low, plus the $ 1.2 a cartridge, and that we want to buy 40 boxes, small profits but quick turnover. The shopkeeper said the price was not able to sell, we turn left. This time go a long way, shopkeepers and catch up, that is 50 US $ 40/carton 1.25 dollars. We told him that this is the point, bring a $ 0.05 is not good. The shopkeeper and his brothers about it, and use a computer as it is agreed. So, after a few trips back and forth we finally bought a fairly price in the heart of the Arab sweets. Back to take a look at the little box or double-layer, which is only 6-7 pieces of 2 cm x glutinous paper covered with sugar candy, not class each have nuts sandwich and sweet is sick. "No matter what, this is always my well-to-do brought back from Turkey," I'm so like the family relatives and friends said.

In the leather shop, when the CityGuide were price didn't talk together and gone, the owner and his assistant from the long stairs to chase down and they called back again and again and again and again.

This is how to Xiaotang satisfactory price buy their favorite fur. If the price difference is too great and many times talk still cannot contract, it is a party will exit.

In addition, in foreign countries to buy things have to be careful not to become "the Chinese people to buy Chinese goods to take home."

The first few years I was in Italy with over domestic 5-6 times the price to buy a marked Italy production belt, back before they were hung with Italy trademark belt is the Wenzhou production. Even the trademark is the Wenzhou businessmen in Italy paid registration. Shopping in Istanbul at the bottom of the supermarket, I want to buy something, and the grandson of a cartoon animal, but is produced by Chinese huangyan. Like a pair of small boots, also the made in China. Turn, finally picked a don't know there's a small toy production, because UnionPay card cannot be used without Turkey currency and had to give up. Into the airport, I saw the Mall entrance hangs UnionPay tags, they went in, choose a toy in a hurry. Airport shop small toy breed not many, I pick to pick to pick out only a small motorcycle in, watch the full package of foreign languages, thought about, this is not likely to be made in China, although the price is not cheap, or bought it. But I didn't expect that, on an airplane out thin, or "Made in China", are caught off guard, and nice and funny.P > the ancients said, learn from mistakes. I put more after shopping are written out, hope to be able to go abroad to visit friends in a reference, if a little small useful.
