Alright so all i have to say is that shopping in Egypt is STRESSFUL!! The shop keepers are extremely pushy. They will do anything to get to buy their things. They will practically pull you into their store. It is quite annoying. They will always heckel all the girls. I don't know how many times they would say you have beautiful eyes, or we heard all the time spicey girls. It was a little funny at first but then it got really annoying oh lets say about 2 seconds into our shopping experience :) You have to barter for everything and they will always try to rip you off so buying one thing takes forever because you have to barter the price down. Sometimes i would almost rather pay the higher price just so i wouldn't have to barter but i don't have a lot of money and i don't want to get ripped off when i know i can get it for cheaper. I only bought like three things and we were there for 3 hours. You can't just run in quick and grab something. So anyways by the end of my first day of shopping in Egypt i had had it. Hence the picture of me shooting my head. When we were walking home after our shopping experience we walked by the McDonalds (i know they are everywhere) and we noticed that they had delivery for McDonalds. It was really funny. They had little mopeds for the deliveries. Of course we had to get a picture. Now you can be even lazier you don't have to get in your car to drive to the drive through all you have to do is pick of the phone. :) They other thing that i thought was really really funny was one of the last shops before we got back to our apartment was a spice shop called spicey girls. It was so funny because we had been called that too many times to count shopping.
