Travelogue Series - 8 , Egypt- 3 - Culture !
![IMG_20150117_145502.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZpT51qL6p5RiZHDdzLmeGDZeNjf4tYMFRUzwLiX6Jvon/IMG_20150117_145502.jpg)

Over the last two blogs we visited the Pyramids of Giza Complex in Old Cairo Today we look at some of the more cultural aspects of Egyptian Life. Egyptians are a vibrant colorful and humorous lot. They can make most astute observations in the most funny way. In fact even offensive and difficult situations of life they manage to navigate with their incredible sense of dry humor.

This cabbie is not just a cabbie. He is also a DJ> His cab is souped up with all kinds of Gizmos....Glowing Rods to Blinking car roofs to great Arabic EDM. Some of these can rides are like a personal miniature party !

They have some interesting eating joints done up in beduin style. Fruits are freshly gotten from the trees in their garden. Meat is freshly killed after you place an order for the food. In fact everything is fresh and cooked right in front of you. The Taste is to Kill for ! YUM !

Pigeons are a delicacy. Fried and Served with Chips and Orange Juice. Also the Orange Juice in Egypt is Bright Yellow. A different strain or Oranges I presume !

For a conservative country PlayBoy the brand is welcome here. As a culture they are conservative. Pre-Marriage affairs are frowned upon. I should know I was dating an Egyptian lady back then. However once a couple is married everything is Open and Even celebrated ! They have some of the best lingerie shops i have seen. In fact every street lane and market is filled with them ;-)

LM the most famous Cigarettes in Egypt! For some reason Smoking is really Popular in this part of the world. Everyone  smokes Here.

Thats a glimpse into some of the not so written about facts of Egypt from an outsider's point of view.

I was there for 10 days. But U don't need one that long. A week should be fine. One day in Cairo for Pyramids and Sphinx and Giza complex. Spend another day in Cairo for the Museum and Ali Mosque and Markets etc. Then  go to Aswaan spend 2 days there. Lots to see there. Then go to Dohab or any of the Red Sea Cities if ur into Deep sea Diving, Snorkling, Boating in the Sea etc. Come back to Cairo spend a day for culture, streets, food, shopping or whatever. and then leave. If ur not into sea adventure etc. Then u can leave the Red Sea bit out. :)

It is kind of a plan I need :) Thanks for the advice! I like snorkelling so it is better for me to spend some time around Red Sea :) Maybe I can skip museum instead. I am not fan of museums if it is not very interesting:) But I will search for it. Thank u again :)

Oh, when I see those chilling shady places and the great food, I'd love to be there right now! Nice post! Where are you from? And when did you start practicing Reiki?

Thanks Bro ! I am from India , New Delhi. I started Reiki around 12 years back. It was recommended to me by my Aikido Sensei at that time. Apparently i was an " Out of Balance" youngster :P
