Not feeling too good since I got asthma attack – is still on my chest.
What cunning jokers the Egyptians (Gippies) are! The tramfare from Gezira to Cairo is 2 milliemes & the ticket collector oftens says that he cannot give change of ½ piastre – (we only use milliemes on the tram). Many an argument do we have to prevent them fleecing us. If a chap looks like a new arrival he is not even offered change.
