Start at JORDAN first...

1st day in Egypt and I was er.. sleazed on. The bald & smelly guy at the beach camp in Nuweiba, went on about how beautiful I was, are all Singapore girls as beautiful as I?...
"What? Nnnnnooooo... [incredulous] They are MUCH MORE beautiful!"
"Ohhh, but how could that be possible, you are so beautiful, your shape is lovely, [blahblah].. You know, I'm divorced and...."
[oh my god, eyeballs-rolling time!!]

Egypt was not going to be 'so nice', my instincts told me.

True enough, I was constantly harrassed and it became terribly annoying to go anywhere.

However, my experience in Egypt became much better after I left the touristy bits of Egypt.
