Bloomin' hell. I'm glad I didn't ask for a long list! I 'll have to sacrifice all shoes and sandals to get that lot in! You sound like a woman who hasn't eaten for ten years.
sandals you can buy here, sacrifice shampoos too and bring a LARGE INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH FAIRY POWER SPRAY Posts: 15090 | From: http://www.egyptalk.com/forum/ | Registered: Jul 2004

Sorry, Ayisha, but the most of the sandals I've seen in Luxor are horrible. I used to practice learning Egyptian numbers by reading the prices in the shoe shops there and they are not pretty. We may go to Cairo for a week first, so anything packed for you will have to be long life or tinned... unless you want a stale loaf? The Fairy Spray, I can do!

typical egyptian saying i think? Morad in sharm used to say cant eat fish with milk or cheese, it will make you sick. I laugh at it cause i grew up eating fish made in milk or with cheese and never got sick once. If that were true everyone that eats Tuna helper in the states would be sick, as its basically made with milk and cheese.

In Turkey people don't eat fish with milk or cheese either. But normaly it s a kind of allergic reaction of your body. For some people, when they eat them together, it poisons them.
