Mini skirts and 3000 year old temples

People are utterly clueless. That's what I've learned so far on this trip. Clueless or Oblivious. You choose.

Take for instance the tourist who shows up to hike Mt Sinai at 3 in the morning dressed as if she about to stroll around the mall for a few hours. Purse. Check. Fashionable flip flops. Check. Make up. Check. Lack of any clue what so ever. Double check.

Or my favorite. The foreign tourist strolling through the streets, mosques, pyramids, and ruins of egypt wearing nothing more then a bikini top and a micro mini skirt. Paris Hilton attitude. Check. Over sized sunglasses. Check. Mini skirt that shows of your ass clevage. Check. Bikini top barely holding in your surgically enhanced tits. Check. Make up. Check.

It blows me a way that not once do these people think about THE COUNTRY THEY ARE VISITING! They are guests! In someone else's country, and in a place as conservative and religious as Egypt, you might want to open your $50 guide book and learn a little about it before you step off the tour bus.

It just makes me realize how, for the most part, people of the world are oblivious to one another. That makes me sad... but so do homeless kittens with teary eyes.
