Egypt is the most Chinese tourists are familiar with in the North African country, but for a long time, we are almost exclusively focused on Pyramid, the Nile these thousands of years ago the ancient civilization. Recently, the Egyptian unrest suddenly makes people find another Egypt, it reminds us, when we walk in the monuments of the truth, there are more scattered in the fine life of ordinary Egyptians.
EgyptNot rich, but the happiness index is still high
Just arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians left me the deepest impression is passion. No matter what the place to ask for directions, local people between strong Arabia English for you not to mind taking the trouble to guide, even will lead you to the. Once in Cairo, take the subway to the old market of Tao Shu, ran to several stations are not found, then asked a middle-aged man, he simply took me on the train, has brought me to the old market before leaving. The way to talk, he sees my suit collar don't with a cross pin, asked whether I was a christian. Later learned, the symbol was the Egyptian Muslims as the crucified christ. This man is a Muslim (Muslim accounted for about 90% of the total population of Egypt), but he didn't because I was a Christian without doubt to guide me, kind-hearted and generous. In fact, the brooch is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics symbols, represents the life.
Optimistic about the EgyptiansThe Egyptians to another impressed me is optimistic. The car is much, traffic jam in Cairo are also common. A variety of cars in the road is not wide race each other, each other. Said the Egyptians do slow, but drove too fast. Probably because of Egypt without car scrapping said, so often to see the latest models of Mercedes-Benz and even the rearview mirror out one in the street the factory in the last century 30's parallel wonders. Mercedes does not regard oneself head and shoulders above others, open the Beatles don't distress, smile at the two driver's face. In Egypt, I often travel around, take a luxury tourist bus, no wind, no sun. However, along the way can often be seen with the Egyptians and our Truck Racing together bridle to bridle. They were in the truck like potatoes huddle, be tanned skin is dark, see wagon passing, excitedly greets, a point not to see "envy envy hate".
In China, almost can not see the trunk sat the situation, but is more common in egypt. They love children, so many are born. One family outings, husband wife drive, sit on the care of small children (there may be two lady all take care of one or two children), the passenger to sit two older children. This is the six or seven people to sit in the car, if there are children not sit in the car, the trunk will be open for one or two children ride, even the roof there is a. Sitting on the roof, his hands on both sides of the window edge, a breathtaking pictures. The car, the sound is maximized, singing all the way to the "is" (club). It really makes people look. They seem less anger, even if the two vehicles collided, also embrace each other down, shouting "Habibie" (Dear), like after being apart a long time friend. So, Egypt's car scratch perfectly normal.
Egyptian life differenceThe great differences between life, the society can have a house, yard, garden, travel a few cars, while the poor have no place to live only in the "dead city" (opposite the Cairo Saladin castle is a large cemetery, known as the "dead city"), where the water and electricity is free. Nevertheless, the Egyptians still eat and drink not sorrow. For the basic necessities of life, such as "Ayishen" (Egyptian pie), the government has given a lot of subsidies. An Egyptian pounds to buy ten to twenty, enough for a person to eat for several days. In addition to the staple food Ayishen, people of food on the table is made with bean sauce. The farmers provide for oneself, if a bit lazy, simply moved to the capital Cairo to live. The cost of living is low, very good living. And the Egyptians optimism, although not rich, but the people's happiness index is very high.
