Just now up on Lonely Planet’s Travel Blog: A short entry about my encounter with a sweet older “guide” in Cairo’s Khan al-Khalili. An admittedly rare case of a person who wants to sell you stuff actually being nice as well!

Although that then reminds me of the guy who normally pushed papyrus on Talaat Harb taking the time to explain the small protest for Ayman Nour that was going on. So helpful!

See, in retrospect, Egyptians come out looking pretty good. It’s just dealing while you’re there that can be a little challenging.
