We were met at Aswan station by a chap with a piece of paper with "Marcelo" on it. He took us to our hotel where we sat down to discuss the itinerary for the day and the following day.
"So you signed up for the tour package," he opened.
"Yes," we responded simply.
"Do you have a receipt?"
"What receipt?"
"Do you have this receipt?"
"No."
"You don't have this receipt?"
"No."
"What's he saying?"
"He's asking whether we have a receipt."
"Do you have it?"
"No. Do you?"
"No."
"We don't have a receipt."
"Ok, I think I understand. You don't have the receipt."
This crucial point having been established, he took us through our itinerary.
Ha ha! This post reminds me of Tintin comics! :-)
