egypt

I was in Luksor, Egypt, and I entered a shop where they sold wonderful colourful African dresses. I decided to buy two, a red one and a blue one. But they were too long; so long dresses are not common in Europe. I said that I could not have worn them. But the boy in the shop said 'Do not worry, I will solve the problem in few minutes'. He left me in the shop and came back later .... more than two hours later! He had been at the factory where he had the dressed cut and sewn!
Fortunately there was a TV in the shop and I was conforted by a film in Arabic.
