One of the disadvantages of traveling alone. . .
(Although it gave me an excuse to perfect the art of ignoring people as I walked down the street.)
"So cute. Welcome to Egypt."
"Have a nice trip."
"How are you?"
"Hello. I love you, I love you."
"Welcome to Egypt."
[something indiscernible in German]
"Why no smile?"
"Hello."
"Where are you from?"
"So beautiful. . ."
"From Russia? От Russia?"
"Hello."
"Welcome to Egypt."
"Señora. . ."
"Beautiful."
"Why no smile?"
"Welcome to Egypt."
"Hello." (I started to wonder if they´d ever considered how unoriginal this one was.)
"Hello? Where smile?"
[As I walked back past a shop at which I had stopped previously to look at knives.] "You want knife to kill your husband?"
"Welcome to Egypt. Welcome to Aswan."
"Hello. What is your name?"
"Why so serious?"
"Cabello. . ."
"Hello. Hello? Hello. . . [And when I didn´t respond.] What language?"
"Welcome to Egypt."
"I am here. I am alone. And I am still alive."

ReplyDeleteNo, the last one wasn´t mine. It was by a vendor sitting in front of his shop of touristy stuff.
