Mahlesh

Intercultural communication:

Yesterday when I came home  after a long day a pleasant surprise was awaiting me:

 a towel animal decorated with fresh flowers on my bed:
 


and a creatively used empty cola can which I had forgptten on my "living room" tabe:


And as always actions speak louder than any words especially if language is the weak spot. And that's apparently the Egyptian way to say "Mahlesh that house keeping was lousy recently." and "Hello, I'm the new person taking care of your room.".  Well, I guess the internationally understood and accepted answer to that is a note saying "Shokran!" and 20 LE  when the house keeping person returns in a few days.


Nocturnal greetings,

Anne
