Random almost-forgotten Egypt notes

  • Bacardi makes good aftershave in a pinch.
  • For Dan and Erin… being in Egypt with Cesar haggling is “better” / “worse” than Dina. It’s made even better by the fact that the locals are taken aback that the blond-haired blue-eyed tourist knows Arabic. That said, he got results. Initial taxi price: 35USD. Final taxi price: 30EGP (~5USD).

On the good side, my rental this morning was a little Alfa Romeo, 6-speed, manual. It was dead easy to get up to 160. On the bad side, it was really foggy and there was lots of traffic. The car handled so well that I was actually looking forward to seeing if I could break my land speed record. On the good side, I’m still alive and uninjured. :-)

It’s cheaper to mail a letter from the USA to Switzerland than it is from Switzerland to Switzerland.

As related by Dina:
Today as the were taxiing after landing, Alex had to go. So as soon as the plane stopped he jumped up and said he had to go, loudly enough that the stewardess helped push people out of the way so he could get to the WC. Then he came out dangling and naked and she kept people away so I could come and help him get dressed in the aisle :)

  • iPad 3 for daddy was hard to distinguish from 3 iPads in Alex’s mind. He spelled iPad himself, purposely writing the “D” backwards for space reasons.
