I think I need to get my application in!
When we go to Cairo I have to button my lip wherever we go! My husband is Egyptian and gets the local price for taxis etc - there was a huge difference in price when we went to the 'mummies' exhibition in Cairo museum for instance. If they hear me talk, we have to pay tourist prices! Well that's what my husband tells me - he probably just enjoys a bit of peace and quiet!!
