Man look
This is what every man should haveThey have Windows chips, that are like soft Twisties. They load animals onto utes. They have meringues. They have pikelets, which they deep fry. They have fobby river boats at night, with lots of bright lights and Egyptian music played at ear-splitting volume. Whole families ride on motorbikes. There are women who cover their hair but wear clothing so tight it would be obscene in the West. Everyone has satellite TV, and they carry the dishes on the subway. They throw their rubbish on the ground, in the Nile or out the window. Hotel breakfasts consist of a boiled egg, a wedge of cheese, white bread rolls and jam. NZ butter is cheaper than in NZ. They have rabbit shops, egg shops and kapok shops. Ladies buy ducks and carry them in their handbags. They have those old scales that use weights. They wear plastic construction helmets for motorbike helmets. They carry babies in their arms instead of in a pram. They have healthy little street snacks like boiled beans, chickpea soup, seeds, roasted kumara, popcorn and roasted corncobs. People always think Erin owns the shop. There are veiled women and all you can see is their eyes. There are men
on the gates at churches (not police men) and they sell bottles of fizzy drink. They think KFC is a fancy resturant. They dont throw away bread, they leave it for the poor or birds. They have roadside drinking fountains installed as vow fulfillments. People always sell tissues and when people get on the trains to sell things they do their own little infomercials its so funny. They ignore road markings and traffic lights. They have itinerant drink sellers. In village areas they have tuk-tuks for taxis. Egyptians have real flash mobile phones. They think NZ is in Europe. They don't believe Erin is from NZ, the closest they get is Indonesia. There's always stray cats everywhere. People drive the wrong way up one way streets then get all upset when someone comes down the right way or a policeman tells them off. Erin always gets asked for directions. Taxis stop and ask if you want a taxi when you are walking in the opposite direction than what they are driving. They think dairy food is for icing cakes. There is an Arabic satellite channel about camels. Their sinks and basins never have plugs.
More to come...

Man look & men at church gates
