Excerpts from 'A journey to finding me' Eps 9

27th September We left Sinai at about 3pm and the journey was relatively comfortable, the drive cheated us and the Egyptians on the bus were so mad at him, one even got furious and even wanted to fight with him. He dumped as way out of where he said he would drop us off. It was a very enlightening gesture to have people on our bus take interest in the fact that we were not being treated right. I find that every time I experience Egyptians there are a whole range of views. This was very kind; I saw them in a different light and starting to realize that it would be wrong to judge people from a onetime experience. The last year I was here, I did not have that opportunity, I had tailored trips which AUC organized and then the one we took to Dahab we had our own car pick us up from the apartment. So I was detached from the locals and viewed them from stories I had from others and a few harassment experiences I encountered.
