Favourite Phrases
Luxor is said to be the hassel capital of Egypt. Here are a few of our "favourite" and commonly heard phrases:
"You are lucky man" (referring to anyone walking with a "western" woman)
"You want falucca ride....you know how much?"
"Have a nice ice cream"
"You want careche (carriage)?"
"Where you from?" "Canada" "Canada Dry never die"
"Byramids, Beeble (people), barfume (purfume), babyrus (papyrus) - there is no "p" in arabic
"I love you"
"why not?"
"I don't know what you want, but I have it"
"have a look"
"I make you special brice because you are nice berson"
These are some of our fond memories from Luxor. We had a lazy day today, walking around, reading and of course being hasseled by the many guys with horses, faluccas, shops and travel agents.

Brian, take a good look at your Western woman and say, "You know,woman,those guys at Luxor were right.I AM a lucky man!" She knows it already anyway.
Hi Guys:
Those statues look huge. The pyramids look like they reach to the sky. We're glad you're having such a good time. Have a good flight to Kuwait.
