I went to Egypt for a MENA (Middle East North Africa) AIESEC conference. During my 2 day stint I was able to see a little of the wonders the ancient city of Cairo has to offer, the pyramids via a horseback ride with fellow wreckless mates Youssef and Rickesh. Wish I had blogged about this before as I may have had an amazing story to share about giving money away (like $.17 US per pop, made them happy though!) just because. The entire tour, including many perks cost each of us around $16 and lasted at least 3 hours. Not to bad for an outsider, for an Egyptian we were brutally mugged and left for dead (they would haggle and probably pay less than half that :)). As my father would say, "it is only money." Something I don't normally live by that often on an AIESEC stipend, but when in Egypt do as the tourists do. It ain't Rome folks :).
