[QUOTE]Originally posted by walkingathinline: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shahrazat: [qb] Walkingathinline, of course you know Egypt better than me. I m just trying to say it s not a big thing which can effect your visit to Egypt. I wish it was cleaner of course but I just dont think it bothers everybody who visits this country. [/qb][/QUOTE]i wouldn't say i'm an expert on the place - i only lived in cairo for less than 3 years - i'm hardly an expert... i didn't say it bothers EVERYBODY...i don't know every single person in the world who has visited egypt...however, apparently it does affect some people so much that they would not come back and would talk about it with such disgust...it also bothers people on this forum; trash is almost always in the top 3 complaints that people have about the place... more and more people are becoming ecologically conscious and when you see such a blatant disregard for Mother Earth, some people do get upset...as you or someone posted earlier, India, in places, is trashy as well...so is America in places, so is Cambodia in many places, etc etc... so i'm not dogging Egypt out...i'm just trying to say that before they go raising prices, they should consider cleaning it up a bit...sure, they keep the parts of the Corniche clean and around the nicer hotels and the IMMEDIATE area near some of the sites...but if you go to the stables out by the Pyramids and take a hour or so camel ride through the desert to the Pyramids, you will see a long line of trash along the way...not to mention many [b]guides[/b] just throwing their empty bottles, cigarette packs, candy wrappers, etc. right on the ground! i talked to my ESL students this past December about forming a group to go out to a specific area and clean it up one day...i explained to them that in the States, volunteers from churches, schools, (and prisons, haha) will often go out to the streets and pick up litter...they laughed at me. just so you know...i encourage people to visit Egypt all the time and my family didn't comment on the trash at all...they loved it, (egypt, not the trash ;) ) and would love to visit again and see even more...
