Egypt
I was offered 10 000 camels to marry someone today.
Andy said his mum was offered 20 camels, so I guess 10 000 is quite alot. :oD
It's beautiful and awe-inspiring and a little eerie viewing the remnants of an ancient, intelligent civilisation, but at the same time too many dog-headed profiles of people and portraits of slaves being tied together and sacrificed to various gods and trying to decipher too many hieroglyphics has gone a little to my brain, making it rather fevered.
Still, am having a great (and warm and sunny) time.

Wow, you're so lucky. I was always fascinated with all the egyptian history. Definitely want to visit Karnak at some point before I go. I can read hieroglyphs a bit, at least pronounce the words, but that's about as far as it goes...
10,000 camels - not sure what the current exchange rate is, but sounds tons. Hold out for more though. ;)
