Twinkies: Mmmm, I Like Candy

    • Name of Shop: Twinkies

    Twinkies sell all those sticky sweet things. The real joy of the whole experience is the packaging: select the appropriate size little gold cardboard tray, get it loaded by the assistant with whatever takes your fancy, another little gold tray placed on top, it's weighed and you're given a ticket to take to the cashier. No funny business here, I'm happy to say. Then your package is placed in slushily romantic pink carrier bag (think Barbie style) & off you go.

    What To Buy: I ended up spending quite a lot of money at Twinkies. The packaging may be a s camp as the proverbial row of frilly pink tents, but the goods are.....serious.

     Poor you. We must have been particularly lucky. We went the year after the massacre at Deir el bahri, when there were few tourists. Everyone was very nice and there was no hassle and priced lower than average. I still think it;s a magical place,

     I also very much wanted to be left alone. I began to cry once while the vendors didn't leave me alone but attacked me from all directions from distance of half an inch... But I am proud to say "I survived Luxor" - pity I don't have a sticker...    		Tijavi Wed May 30, 2007 15:45 UTC
     I agree with you on how bad the situation is down there. I'm preparing my own page on Luxor - perhaps a cynic's guide to the city? I am inspired by your provocative intro :-) Greetings from the desert.
