[QUOTE]Originally posted by JOSHUA: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Luxorlover: [b]Joshua - please don't get going on that line. This is a cultural rather than a religious thing. It takes years here to get your head around the culture. After more than six years I still learn new things each day all of which amaze and confound me. Natashah is right: What, to the tourist, is thought of as friendly is actually disrespect. Although it is fortunate that they never realise it. "Ten thousand camels to buy you" usually raises a laugh when in fact you are being called something not very nice. I posted it somewhere else but I will say it again anyway at the risk of being boring. The men here say there is a fifteen minute rule with European women. "Five minutes to drink tea, five minutes to talk and five minutes to find a bed." When someone asks me to take tea with them I just politely say "No thank you" and walk on without looking the man in the face. He will probably tell his mates that he had sex with me anyway and if he was seen talking to me then they will believe him. I never let strange men photograph me with them either. When I used to visit the temples when I first came here there would always be a group of boy/men who would want to be photographed with me. My partner went ballistic. It was only then that I realised that the photos would be shown around with the tag "this is my European woman that I shag five times a day". No Egyptian woman would ever allow herself to be photographed with someone she did not know. Perhaps things are different in Cairo but in Luxor traditions die hard.[/b][/QUOTE] LL, what you are describing is probably the lowest class of Egyptians in Egypt. I hope I don't offend you but it really is. I have a pretty good idea of the class you're surrounded by. I wonder what brought you there...
