Where U R?

How do you know when U R in Egypt?
When your driver stops the car in the middle of the road, and goes off to have his noon prayer with the engine running.

This is exactly what happened!! Not ten minutes after I touch down in Cairo. The bus driver stopped the bus in the middle of this busy street, and politely ask all the passengers to wait for a few minutes, while he walked to a nearby Mosque for his Noon-Prayer. We (the few backpackers on the bus) watched the whole thing in awe.

We have arrived, and THIS must of be Egypt.

How do you know when U R in China?
When you are sitting in a restaurant and realized that there is no sight of the familiar salt and pepper shaker on the table, but a bowl of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate).

How do you know when U R in Nairobi, Kenya?
Your rather go hungry though the night, than to walk across the street at night to get some food.

How do you know when U R in Tanzania?
When the cook serves you afternoon tea in the middle on nowhere dressing in white and with a mushroom hat on his head.
