Travel

I can spot the scam artists from a mile away. All seem to have gone to the same "how to rip off Americans" school. Some of their scams are quite inventive, but they lack imagination so the same ones are used over and over.

All those things don't bother me too much. You still meet interesting people and you still see interesting things. You just have to put up with the bad to get to the good.

I've heard different stories about the Nile hotels. Some say they are good, some say they are very noisy as the boats make as much or more noise than the cars. I'm not sure how much of that is true. A quite place would be nice, but I know enough to bring earplugs.
