[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kaket el 7o7: [QB] NSIC One thing just struck me after reading your post which I never thought of before. Back home in our own countries when we have workmen, council people dealing with any type of government office, maids, nanny's etc we in almost all cases get them from some type of company or agency. Here it is more word of mouth and recommendations. Most are not attached to companies or agencies. I have to say that all workmen who came to my house I never thought once about hiding anything or watching them do their job. I opened the door and let them get on with it. Same for checking meters in the house etc. Maybe I was too trusting? but I never once had any problems. Here you have to have eyes on the back of your head. My husband follows every single person and watches every move they make and he is Egyptian. It was him who told me you cannot trust them??? I found this quite embarassing to see him watch them constantly but them after a short while I understood why :eek: The point I am trying to make is that here in Egypt if your maid steals from you or your plumber steals tools from your house,flood your home, then what do you do? You don't have an agency to contact. There is no company to sue. You cant go to the police :D If you confront the person they will lie, thats the culture here, so really as hubby said , you have to watch them every step of the way and if you find a good one like you have obviously, you keep them and pass the word on. Most Egyptians know that we have no recourse, just the same as they dont have any recourse with their own people. It's accepted that the people will lie and cheat and steal. This is how they feel about each other. Egyptians dont trust each other. So when they go crazy because we say anything, it's quite funny really. They also dont trust each other but dont like foreigners saying anything ;) What ES needs is a place where you can put details of Good , honest, workmen or women recommended by foreigners. If the Egyptians here were honest :D They would agree that they too don't trust each other. and as this is a board about Egypt lets not get all stupid and start saying about what happens elsewhere as usually happens. It's not about elsewhere, we are discussing Egypt on an Egypt website. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
