Egypt's Top 11

In honor of the 11 days I spent in Egypt I have decided to present the top 11 things I learned in Egypt.

11. "NO" can sometimes mean "Please try harder to sell me a camel ride up Sinai."
10. Being sick in a 3rd World country is unbelievably inconvenient.
9. Drinking tap water is an often overlooked blessing.
8. "Free gift" can also mean "Come inside and pay."
7. Arabic is a confusing, difficult language.
6. Egyptians have no concept of personal space ... or showers.
5. The pyramids are very tall, and its very hot inside them.
4. The Nile is a dirty, nasty river.
3. Egyptian tours come equipped with a body guard, who comes equipped with 2 fully automatic sub-machine guns and 2 semi-automatic pistols.
2. Egyptian food is bland and monotonous.
1. In Egypt, going 6 wide on a 4 lane road is not only acceptable, but expected and encouraged.
