... really really close to everyone around them as they weave in and out of cars. There is no shoulder because if there were one, people would just drive in that too. Broken down cars: are frequent. It is sometimes faster to push some of these cars rather than try to drive. Bus and taxi drivers: are totally and completely nuts. They fit whatever vehicle they are driving into spaces not designed for their vehicles and rule the roads with impunity. The bus I am in now, a large charter ...

... offer you donkey rides everywhere because the place is enormous. The donkeys save a lot of time and effort. I wasn't sure how big the Valley of the Kings was, but I thought that was the kind of ride we wee taking...

I was wrong. I was wrong and very unhappy. Riding a donkey, like riding a camel, was for me, not fun. The lack of stirrups makes it pretty awful, and walking on a horse is just is never that good. William, my donkey, liked to stay at ...

Une situation etouffante qui a bien dure 2 ou 3h (les distances sont immenses) avant de retrouver mon chemin et mon programme, accedant au quartier islamique de la ville comme je le souhaitais. Plus de bruit, plus de confreres touristes ; du vert, des ...

... at all times, we can go anywhere and everywhere! I am staying in an Egyptian part of town, and I have yet to feel safe on my own. I thought I was going to die of thirst at 10pm last night and I needed to get some water bad... the bellboy offerred to escort me to the market (to which I agreed), which is just 2 stores down the street from my hotel. Like 40 steps. There are no tourists in these parts and I definitely don't ...

1. Make things your very own.
