Of course I did. I originally posted that it's 7 US dollars to the LE. It's actually 1 US dollar for 7 LEs. So when I went to Alfa Market yesterday and spent 1,000 LE, for a second I was freaked out because I wasn't sure I had that much money. Turns out it was $143.00. Probably best for me to stop thinking in terms of US dollars!
Really and truly, I will be happy just to learn and pronounce Arabic words and phrases. Today I am practicing "Salam aleekum" --peace upon you. That is a very nice greeting to an Egyptian and I get giant smiles when I put forth the effort. Egyptians are so nice!! I've got "thank you" down although I can't spell it right now. The realtor will be here in 10 minutes.
Salam aleekum!
