No tour today

No Ras Mohamed tour for me today.

The driver never showed up to pick me up.
A few phone calls and half an hour later,
he’s still not there.

The guy in the office handling these things,
obviously as incompetent as the driver.

When I took a closer look at the text on my receipt,
I understood why things are not working so well there.

The guy that sold me the tour is better than the Rest.
I will get my money back and a free tour on Monday.

IF they manage to pick me up this time.

Ich glaub' ich würde mich dort nur ärgern ;-) Halt die Ohren steif und lass dich nicht unterkriegen.

Here's hoping that the replacement is timely and the tour is fantastic.

oh well...that's NORMAL here in Egypt!
They say here: don't compare! This is Egypt standard!
They are not willing to learn?

One does the job and at least 5 watch... :crazy:

Thanks everyone - if he doesn't show up on Monday, I might accidentally burn their place down

Or I'll just ruin them by posting everywhere how bad they are for two or three month.

That should take care of their business

@BLOGitse - Nope, most people here are not willing to learn.

Sorry to hear you had an FUE day!

An FUE moment is named after Future University in Egypt which recently opened in New Cairo. Whenever we or our friends have a bad Egypt moment we call it FUE.
