I hope Jordan is not like this. Everyone wants money from you for literally doing nothing. It might be if they show you which direction to go. They ask you a question and then it might finish with the outstretched palm.

I’ve just arrived at the airport after my short commute across the air bridge and when I go through the first lot of baggage security some lackey tries to take my case from me and so I tell him no thank you. He then approached the couple in front who have a few bags on a trolley and give them the same spiel and then immediately asks for money. His side kick warns him that I am watching and they covertly exchange some cash. He does the same with the guy behind me and proceeded to put his bags in front of mine at which point I removed them and put mine back in front and then told him to bugger off. I’m really fuckin’ sick to the back teeth with this nonsense. Everyone in Egypt seems to break the rules and many look like they have.

I just went to the departure gate and bought a coffee at the cafe there, by the way… Its shit!

Oh and to make things worse there are two staff and several other people smoking to their hearts content right under the no smoking sign. I mean what the fuck? If the security is doing it then everyone may as well join in. My lungs are only just beginning to recover, I’ve still got a niggly cough which is only being made worse by these fuckers.

At this point I’m ready to go postal. I just hope that Jordan is an improvement 😭
