Give Me Money

Kids everywhere in Egypt beg for money "Baksheesh."When you do give one money you have to be careful not to start a riot. I gave this girl a dollar and the crowd grew so large that one girl rushed out in front of our van and was almost hit. I've learned that when I walk down a street I don't make eye contact with anyone and I don't answer any questions. It's the only way to keep salesmen and kids from following you for blocks. Also, I wear a big hat whenever I go out. Nothing says "Stupid tourist" like blonde hair.
