| #3 It is a fine line between local color and all that stuff we spent the last 500 years trying to get away from. As for the German-speaking, I fear Mark Twain was right. |

| #2 My husband loved the time he spent working there, Big Thromoth3646. Some people simply don't deal well with places in any way different from home. You no doubt would have a similar reaction to England ("They talk funny and the beer is warm") or Germany ("They speak German, fergawdsake, and it's too clean! And some of them don't use antiperspirant!!"). It's not your fault, my dear. But for those of us not so handicapped, it's very, very boring. |

| #1 Tell me WHY anyone would go and visit Egypt of all places, the land of Amiskeen amiskeen mafeesh faloos. Egypt..The place where a guy in a fez has a lysol soaked flywhisk in the outdoor toilets to swash your bum before you leave. You like to sweat? Egypt is the place. You like the Camels? They don't like you. And so many Moslems and fumes and traffic and ruins...and the sweat...did I mention the sweat? How much money you got, Ferenghi? |
