To all you impoverished students and not-so-impoverished working-folk, I would like to offer a little advice: go to Cairo. Why? Because it is quite possibly the only time you will ever feel as if you've just walked out of the Monte Carlo casino with all the potential of the world contained in your wallet.
As proof of my week of opulence, here is a summary of only a portion of my spending: (EGP stands for Egyptian pounds)
A pair of prescription sunglasses: 150 EGP ($26)
A huge bag of hand blown glass items : 50 EGP ($9)
A thirty minute taxi ride : 35 EGP ($6)
A very good haircut: 100 EGP ($18)
A 4 course meal on a boat on the Nile for 3 people: 266 EGP ($47)
A one night stay in a hotel with a private bathroom : 60 EGP ($11)
Student museum admission : 25 EGP ($4)
A metro ticket : 1 EGP ($0.18)
So, who's ready to feel like a millionaire?
