have you also tried the lingo i gave you


try this one when the price is too high


rah'lee, wulahi lazeem tal'arta halass (it takes time to pronounce it correctly)

:D

Full of Germans mate, seen one lad in an Everton shirt and met one Scottish couple but apart from that most are Germans - which means getting up extra early to book your sunlounger by the pool :laugh:

Tried a bit of your lingo first day Judge, but the fellah looked at me as if I'd 2 heads.  I can speak a little bit of German which is actually more helpful than Egyptian in Hurghada :laugh:

Think there's also a few Swedes kicking around so should be quite good banter watching the England game tonight...

if you pronounced the lingo correct they would understand you. However, there are various dialects in arabic

for example : in luxor LA means NO
                  in Cairo LA'A also means NO

if you want a cuppa tea you may say : ana ousza wahid shy min fadlak - i want one tea please
or
ana ousza wahid shay min fadlak - i want one tea please


are you confused yet, no wonder that geezer thought you had two heads  :D

jiggy jiggy?  Think I'll pass on that one Judge :laugh:

To be honest I leave most of the negotiating/haggling with locals to the girlfriend (And no that's not for jiggy jiggy!).  I just give them the look that says don't even bother trying.  I didn't mind the first few days, but its getting a bit tedious now, the harrassment by shopkeepers is frustrating as feck.  Some Egyptian tried selling me 2 bits of papyrus for 500 Egyptian pounds today (50 fecking quid :laugh: ).  I gave him 200 (which is still a complete rip off) and said I'd be back later with the rest of the cash.  He said he 'trusts me' to do that.  He won't be seeing me again, bloody conman.  Actually I'm still fecked off that I gave the co.ck 20 quid for what is essentially 2 bits of paper with sh.ite drawings on them :laugh:

Actually I'm now considering going back and punching that guy... seriously :laugh:

papyrus from these guys should be 10 egyptian each for a A4 size

they must see you coming mate :D

i bet you told em it was your first time in egypt didnt you :D

they do it to all first timers, plus they always target the women, coz they know it them who says yes, plus they would try it on also - be aware of that JC

if you punch that guy, and the police come, make sure you tell em he touched your missus, or you could end up in jail, if its just about money

they dont see it as theiving, they see it as good business.


you must be hard and tell them what you will pay, if they dont like it then move on. you will see the price come down - trust me on this one fella

They certainly did see me coming, won't be making that mistake again :laugh:

The bird convinced me not to go back and empty the guy in the end, tempting as it was though.  Calmed myself down with a few beers and later that night I was in great form and found myself dancing in a fountain in the middle of some night club, so all is well... except I've now contracted the dreaded 'Egyptian tummy' so the plane home tonight should be fun :laugh:
