Luxor, Egypt
As a big strong (and stupid) girl, I decided to take a holiday by myself to Luxor in Egypt. Wisely, I gave myself a 'no buying stuff' mandate, and stuck to that awfully well.

After a long day of looking at old stuff using my Aweface, I found myself in a market. Browse. Ignore. Get hassled. Get bottom pinched. Repeat. I took refuge in a perfume oil shop and struck up conversation with the man who ran it.

The chat was awfully good, and he offered to give me a foot rub for free. What with me being a bloody moron with sore feet, I agreed. The foot rub turned into an arm rub, then a shoulder rub, and finally into a full back massage. I made the requisite 'GURRRRRURGH' noises.

I finally had to be on my way, so swiftly stood up to profess my thanks, offer a token of gratitude and make my way out the door. The shop owner blocked me. £3000EGP, he said, only the foot rub was free. After a short tussle, I handed over everything I had.

This was when I noticed that he had an erection. I was duped by an Egyptian with a boner. I had just paid £230 to a pervert.

However, £230 to a man with The Horn certainly doesn't make you feel worse than anything over £0.01 spent on an ex, let's be honest.

What would you have got ...
...if you had had £500 on you?

I could be wrong.
I thought somebody was offering a kind service to a weary traveller. I never claimed to be streetsmart.

Thus £500 would have nowt to do with cocks or mimsies, as I wouldn't have given that up.

So he got to fondle you and you paid him for it?
What a country!

You are a girl and you went to Luxor by yourself?
Fuck me.

Clearly it didn't turn out well.
Plus I knocked some teeth out on the first night when ginned up on airport booze.

Two new teeth cost less than getting felt up by a perv.

well there's a big difference
between being a lone female traveller in nice touristy spain and Egypt, Land of the Perves.
