    Egypth is awsome! Ive been there a copple of years ago, great country, bad thing is that everyone, and I mean everyone is out to get a tip from you. If you go to a toilet someone wants money, if your in the streets everyone wants to sell you stuff. Oh and look out for those parfum shops, before you know it they give you some tea and a moment later you realize you bought a small bottle for about 100$ and it stinks too hehe. But there's a lot to be seen! Good luck!

    iv not tasted their coffee.......but the tea is amazing.....on my last day i was given lots of gifts from my new egyptian brothers, i spent all night round their house eating some food.

    was such good fun, and they taught me a song in arabic and we were singing and playing drums for hours, it was so amusing!
    im so sad to be home
