Around the Middle East in 40 Days,

My adventure around 10 different countries in the Middle east. It is more meaningful to read this blog bottom up, rather then top down. This will make more sense as I develop my ideas along with my travel. N.B. Posts might be delayed, not only because of lack of connectivity, but also maybe till I move from the country I am visiting to the next. Just to be on the safe side :) However I must admit the major reason remains my habit of procrastination

I was being robbed, and agreed

Well I was standing in the airport waiting for a shuttle pickup, and these guys kept on coming to me asking me if I wanted a taxi or if I needed change. I was in bad need for change, especially that the airport in Algeria didn't have a change bureau like I imagined. I was reluctant to use their service, but eventually did. I guess I felt guilty on what foreigners experience in Egypt with haggling from people all over the place. I was feeling I am being robbed at the exchange rate, and with lack of information the feeling was stronger. I discovered that I had a lousy exchange rate in the end, but agreed to change money none the less.
