The night before this , I was at the Nile river with some good friends and my ol UTP mate Badreldin . Was relaxing and talking about crazy stuff while hey gave me a head start on the Pyramids , which I'll be visiting on the next day ( today ) . They warned be about a lot of hustlers out to make a quick buck from tourist and told me strange stories that happened to their foreign friends . Scary to say the least .

This was my weird experience at one of the 7 wonders in the world :

While I was walking to one of the Pyramids ( you have to walk quite a distance to reach there ) , a young guy with a funny mustache came up to me , he opens a packet and jams some sort of a head scarf on my head , without MY permission ! It was tight ! Makuku , spoiled my hair before I even started taking pictures !!!

Me : No , no , I don't want to buy . NO .

Guy : No, no , no ( repeated my words -_- ) money , just for YOU , I want to take picture

Me: NO !

Guy : Don't worry sir , no money , just take picture , no worry . No money .

Fucking hell , on the way up to the Pyramids , I was already hustled around so many guys for being a Chinese dude , and luckily I came to the Pyramids with two Egyptian friends . They saved my ass from bankruptcy and getting squeezed like a female cow being squeezeeeed for fesh healthy milk ...

Me : Ok , no money ya ?

I then passed my camera to my friend and he took a picture of us .



Fucking weird picture if you'd ask me ...


And then , after taking the picture , he asked for my camera ...My friend knew what was he going to do ! If I gave him the camera , he'll ask for money , and if I didn't pay , he won't give it back to me !

Me : NO !

Guy : I take picture of you and friend

Me: NO !

Those who know me know that I'm not an angry guy who is impolite to people . However , after being hustled alllll the way up on the hill to the Pyramids , and under hot scorching sun , there is only so much I can take ! After not giving in , this guy then says :

Guy : Okok , give me small money !

Me : WHY ????

Guy : For picture you take with me .

MF , even if you were George Clooney , I wouldn't pay a single cent to take a picture with you ! It's just not logic ??? A stanger ask for a picture with you , and you have to pay him ??? He kept on pastering me and following me !

My friend saved me , and we took off . My two Egyptian bodyguards for the day , saved me from bankruptcy at the Pyramids .=) Thanks guys !

Edward and Hafez with me at the Pyramids

Overall though , I had an AMAZING time visiting one of the 7 wonders in the world . I even got to go INTO a pyramid . How amazing is that ? It's really a once in a life time experience . I've seen pyramids before , but never have I ever imagined going into one !

I love my job .=)

Best con of the day :

Egytian guy says ` 7.5 pounds to get up on camel , very nice ' ..... When I wanted to get down ` 50 pounds to get down ' .... -_- , makuku , should give them a creativity award .
