Electricity plugs in Egypt

I just found this and I thought I can write here with refering to its source An Egyptian and an American are seated next to each other on a flight from New York. The American asks if he would like to play a fun-game. The Egyptian, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The American persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, the Egyptian declines and tries to get some sleep. The American, now worked up, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500." This gets the guy's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game. The American asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The Egyptian doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a $5 bill, and hands it to the American. "Okay," says the American, "your turn." So the Egyptian asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?" The American thinks about it. No answer. Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. No answer! He taps into the air-phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress. No answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers. Checks the input. All to no avail! Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Egyptian and hands him $500. The Egyptian thanks him and turns back to get his sleep. The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the Egyptian and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the Egyptian reaches into his wallet, hands the American $5,and goes back to sleep! the source http://amreekia.blogspot.com/2008/04/egyptian-tale.html Popular posts from this blog Electricity plugs in Egypt October 09, 2008 The Voltage is about 220 V The electricty socket is 2 pin one, Looks like this pic I think If you are coming from Germany or Uk and your device are running on a 3 pin electrcity  Like This one Do not worry, You only need this converter which you can buy from an electricty store as for the 2*3 electricity converter and Welcome to Egypt Read more The origin of the word " Egypt" or " MISR" November 16, 2006 Here is some points of views I receive from experts: - Egypt is a Greek corruption - Aigyptos, derived from the native Het-Ka-Ptah, which means house of spirit ptah. Copt is also derived from Aigyptos. Misr is Hebrew from Misraim. Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively.

It is well known that it is not a good time to visit people during this time for the same reason. Families will stay awake together until the early hours of the morning, and will think nothing of calling their friends at 1.00 or 2.00 am to have a chat. Siesta A siesta (IPA: [siˈɛstə], original Spanish pronunciation ['sjest̪a]) is a short nap taken in the early afternoon, often after the midday meal. Such a period of sleep is a common tradition in hot countries. The word siesta is Spanish, from the Latin HORA SEXTA - "the sixth hour" (counting from dawn, therefore noon, hence "midday rest"). The siesta is the traditional daily sleep of the Southern region of Alentejo, in Portugal, known as sesta. It was adopted also by the Spanish and, through European influence, by Latin American countries and the Philippines. Afternoon sleep is also...
