So I got a decent priced tour today. I wouldn't really call it a tour. The guy just drove me around to the sites, I paid admission, he drove me around some more, took photos when I needed, got me some lunch, and drove me around some more. . He didn't tell me much about anything in relation to Egypt which I kind of sucked, but I just wanted to see things anyway. . . . I got attacked by Bedouins everywhere I went, not literally though. Silence apparently shuts them up. "You want a camel ride?" They will also ask you for your ticket, take it and then lead you around like a guide and ask you for an outrageous sum of money as well. . . Luckily, I warned of all of this beforehand. . I even had to say that I was from Russia, so folks wouldn't bother me so much. . These people and even there kids were doing so much to try and get money off of people. Luckily my driver, Peter, was able to take pictures for me when he was around. . . I also had some Chinese guy take a few for me at the Sphinx area. Then I was asked to be in a picture with him a little while later. I found a nice Korean guy who was shocked to her my speak to him in Korean, but he was a good photographer. "How did you know we speak Korean?", he said. "I heard you speaking in Korean, and I kind of live in Korea as well." Anyway, I saw plenty of pyramids and got a little bit of sun.
My night event was a dinner cruise on the Nile. The food was not so great, but the entertainment definitely was interesting. There was a pretty lady who did a good bit of belly dancing to start the evening. Then two guys, one pretty big, and one really small, did some traditional dances as well. They were all pretty fun to watch and the belly dancer even took me on stage and had me try some baton twirling, which didn't go so well.
