There have been several instances when I was impressed with
the pleasant nature of the people I have encountered. When I mentioned to the concierge at the
hotel that I didn’t have a hat for the trip to the pyramids, he went to the
back office and gave me one that the hotel sells (for free). When I was walking on the street and was
approaching a man head on, he went out of his way to step aside and let me pass
by him. In many streets that I’ve
walked, its more like a game of chicken where the weakest person steps aside at
the last minute and usually brushes against the other one on their way. I already noted that cabs and other drivers
seem to take turns as they merge and move in busy traffic without much
animosity. Its probably too much to
chalk it up to a national culture, but it has been a good experience.
