Those "Mohammed"

Ten men in Egypt, I would like to have at least six booklet called Mohamed.

"If your father, your grandfather's booklet also called Mohamed, then your full name?", I asked the Bishbishi Hotel Dahab.

"That's the call me Mohamed.

Mohamed. Mohamed coupled with my last name is ", with a long Mohamed intersecting answered.

Original version of the Prophet Mohamed is Islam, Allah is he will like this compilation of them became the Qur'an, in the Islamic world has not yet lofty status.

Egypt has no Tsuki taboo, homage shows the devotion of the most effective way is to own the whole male call Mohamed.

Egypt discussion not only in the name, in any way are stingy to direct expression of the emotions.

Often you can see two men with five three rough play publicly stimulation gift: first half hands, holding each other's body to his arms, while Yang head accurately mouth is on the mouth, with the words "die young, and tends to" zuo, finally posted veneer.

Even though every time I see this scene always think back to fracture the discomfort, but they will be that kind of emotion-the brother of parting.

You even can easily and a brother who cross call Egypt, almost every Egypt people like chatting with Chinese people, they will not hesitate to hold your shoulders in the mobile phone camera swing POSE, each vendor will tell you not only know the Chinese also know Zhejiang, will tell you everything is made in China, in addition to drop it to Bush's shoes, but the pride of the Arabs.

With Egypt people there will be music, play music-phone is almost spiritual pillar of Egypt who, when walking in the hands of Palm, tea-and-drop table, nobody, with headphone volume are all set to maximum, regardless of the men, women and children as long as there is mobile phone all this done.

The most terrible is sitting in coach is someone in your seat using a mobile phone on religious songs, changxuduantan aback a fraudulent, and may from time to time also break to second decade, when you think you have gone home at last, "Ouch" a sound and start a new round of toss. Furthermore, you also can't twist face to stop.

At first glance Egypt people will feel they are like total also cannot be separated from the hands of "suction", with a pair of a fine appearance, follows the traditional and cumbersome ceremony, but smoke suction spit is smoked flavor, spice days on neural hardly any stimulus that meet the needs of all the external senses, "suction" but rarely played the role of tobacco most essential.

In short, a bit specious.

Egypt people walking in the street are instrument stalwart, even if it is in the form of hard-hit a patch of shoes will be scrubbed sharp creases, young people like water gel to black hair combed back into the thick hair, youhuhu older point man suit no matter how old it will wear the vest.

But it seems that the whole world knows laziness is Egypt's characteristics, LP mentions even Arab Gulf States of the lunch break is called "Egypt's physical exercise".

The facts seem to also do so, the street is always stand with idle man, many people will be accompanied by a cup of tea in the street side sitting for hours, even the newspapers don't look so dumbfounded.

The most diligent of Egypt is the teahouse of man, from morning till night didn't worry about the business, the seat is always full of people, everywhere you can see the small guys single-hand carrying filled the cup of tea, or carrying hookah pots side slam breaths mouth to get the coals, trot after former busy busy.

Diligence of another clan, was considered the various attractions.

Giza clustered around a lot not only diligent and generous hawker, found purpose every day does not seem to make money but to make friends, especially the Chinese friends, they will take the initiative forward requests to the photograph you some postcards, gift, every time I would deny, but finally in a solar boat beneath his profound strongman.

"China?? are you Chinese?" the guy side step backwards to head out to the front of me, "isn't it?".

"Yes, I know you are Chinese", see I point the head more stupid, "do you know why? because we are brothers!"

"Chinese Kung Fu!!" side qianyanbudahouyu, bounce and pointing Kung Fu action, he don't care and I silence just hiding from his enthusiastic eyes.

"My brother and I'll send you a gift", said from the plastic bag and took out a child Arab scarf, obstinately cover my head on a circle, took my camera ran out a few steps and half kneel on the ground for me to take pictures.

My mouth to say "thank you, don't" but the body still tempted by his command of the machinery and torsion over twisted past, thought to why then Egypt brothers, the Chinese Government over the last few years to Egypt is a little too exploits.

"My father worked in China, so thank you, China", brother also my camera with me he and China's origin.

I began to think about than yours, you can return to help his dad a call take a message or something, so that you have reason to accept this gift, a greedy ideas, push the retaining of action not in place.

They bring the camera also I turned and strode away, the response before I came, and just as quickly returning from the bag and took out a few postcard stuff my hand clap my shoulder turn around and go; walk three or four step back, and sent to three small pyramids, then go back again, this time as the four Beatles blue stone St.

"Goodbye, my Chinese friends", decided to let me touch gesture, this time to go to a five-or six-step didn't come back.

With white in a lot of small things, I finally touched, shouting "God bless you my brother."

Voice, my brother is already a step ahead, jump back to the same like reel launched Zhang sad face, "you see, my family to eat. I don't want your money, what is for you. But can you give me some of your own money. "

> Knows the road on the culprits, head children did not go over, as the evil in your wallet says no China open money dollars right. The results gave $ 5, having too few added 20 El pounds.

In each of the attractions, in addition to the hawkers also another kind of enthusiastic people.

They will take the initiative to come together to tell you where to take beautiful pictures; will advance with wooden sticks will have open area stand up, and then attempt to tell you that he can give you a convenient, puts you in; others simply dressed in robes and sit on the floor, and other curious tourists come.

I met the most exaggerated Kom Ombo things in a temple, wearing a blue plainclothes police staggers submachine guns in the temple.

Walked past him, I simply say "that's the MP5 bar". Police see me say his German submachine gun models, eyes bright brush, mysterious and end up with waved me with him to the temple porch outside little places, all sorts of not saying the rifles to my hand, the other also make honk the shutter. I say this stuff can just give Ah no, I do not know, if loaded with photo to other police then as to grab the gun's terrorist, taishou I shot more value when Ah. Was not even a "thank you" never say quickly handle carrying Pocket Flash, undercover police also did not give up, have a few step followed I squeezed eyes.

Attractions in Egypt, Chin-like appearance, million identity from your body is nothing but a few pounds of tips, in fact, their requirements is not high, most won't die chanlan play, so it is to understand why many people online abetting Chinese with essential balm(20G) to work as a fee.

Tip in Egypt 5 pounds, and has been able to pass through a box of essential balm(20G) also to sell to the 8, 9 bucks, furthermore most requests for essential balm(20G) are not providing any service of the public service, such as ticket checking, search packages, go to open the door, then why didn't bring a bomb to bribe?. Also heard some say get a toll free essential balm(20G) can be one or two pounds of toilet, this account.

On a tip I started also very resistant, and may soon become accustomed to satisfactory service with tips thanks.

We climb Mount Sinai's wizard called Hasan, not much but it will take care of people, we began early this morning, 10 a.m. to return to the start of the convent.

We got on the back of the car, Hassan shy to pipe is most conspicuous in the Netherlands who had a tip, I and Netherlands people decided to give 10 pounds per person, how many other people voluntarily give up afterward, two people who immediately expressed their Spain is still a long way to go so rejected two Argentina people talking, two person falls asleep Korea, too bad I and the Netherlands were only 50 pound notes, also good finally back United States babe gives 5 dollars, didn't let him white hard works. Go back to the way the driver said, on Sinai guide not to we turn of the tour price, only rely on tips to maintain the livelihood of the family.

Hassan in the car window face frustration and grievances, would like to ask for and are unable to argue look I can't remember for a long time, when a tip or even small tricks just to maintain an acceptable standard of living, I really have no reason to go too.

In Luxor's doors before agriculture stone saw a man holding grandson hands far from looking at the large flocks of tourists in the station for a long time.

The old man is estimated at almost 70 years old, was born in Owensboro detective, should never left bank of the Nile. From the beginning he was a child will be able to see the eyes of European tourists come and go, a slightly larger point estimate is trying to operate from tourists who, relying on the income of families and children, to the forties when the door began to Japan tourist, old grandson Noah step only distraction, flocked into the Chinese tourists. Life is so over. His grandson, may soon see India tourist, then Brazil, and also to 70 years old, come down from the coach's perhaps Ethiopia tourists. But their own dozens of hundreds of years, but learn several foreign languages only enough to chat.

To travel to do pillar industry of third world countries, similar to the sad absolutely inevitable, not to mention the fall of Egypt, are those people who are already proud and bigotry of Muslims.

Therefore, in Egypt you often can see Bob Marley's portrait, it was the godfather of reggae music, one does not forget his African roots of Jamaica. After returning to his songs were heard, the song is full of humiliation and heart tradition and the outside reality collision, as in the life of dignity and survival needs of Egypt.

In Egypt a long time, I know the big bottle of water 2.5 pounds, a small bottle of water 1.5 pounds, LM cigarettes 5 pounds, I know a taxi if you play table 12 km only 3.9 pounds.

The time when sailors went to Shanghai and the city's taxi driver said he daily income between 25 to 50 pounds, and the common man's salary but wuliubai pounds.

I finally had a chance to see through fog and Egypt tourist-related, and finally exposed to more and more ordinary people in Egypt.

Those who do not want to deal with you and you could have your body in Egypt, Egypt is the ordinary people.

I will not forget that they accompany me away to distant bus station, told me to buy a ticket as long as 25 Piast; they called for help answer my various strange problems; they offered me to write on the destination address of Arabic, Arabic name of individually interpreted; it is they have access to the Internet computer to me, help me to bike onto the River; is their generous to bloom smile, put me on the strange world of all suspicion.

Travel and non-tourism brings the benefits of a large, it is in this way, can ensure that you find it more simplistic kind, can let you feel the silent majority.
