What REALLY Runs Egypt


Yes, it's a teapot. Tea is the glue of every meeting and is the source of many greetings. "Come have a cup of tea!" is a call that I hear at least half a dozen times in the course of my rides around the countryside here. If I drank all the tea I was offered, I'd never get anything done. People joke about the English and tea, but the Egyptians have them beat hands down.

very true, haha, i experienced this lately as I visited some bedouins in Sinai, they're all about the damn tea! LoL
but technically, we do have the English to thank for that!

It's amazing, but true!!!
People live much slower here than in Europe - maybe are happier and healthier :)
