I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Germany.  I always assumed that Germany was full of cold and stoic people.  However, I met some the most friendly people in the world.  I had a blast in Germany!  Another place that surprised me was Egypt, but not in a good way.  Honestly, I could have saved myself from this miserable trip by looking at Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum in London.  Egypt was a dump and the men were extremely aggressive.   So, no more Muslim countries for me. [/quote]

Egypt is tough to travel in -- at least at the backpacker level, which is how I did it.  I have traveled lots of places -- South America, Central America, Southeast Asia, Europe -- on a backpacker budget.  I felt almost assaulted by Egypt (not literally, I was never in physical danger).  Although I will say that our felucca trip on the Nile was a lovely way to see many of the temples and totally relaxing.  But I don't feel the need to go back.

I also don't feel the need to go back to China.  I was in Beijing for a week -- partly for work and partly for fun.  I have never been so happy to get home nor so grateful to live in the U.S.[/quote]
