Gary in China

 

There are no road signs to help navigate. And, in fact, no one has yet determined which side of the road we're supposed to be on. ~ Steve Case

Gary In Egypt > The Worst Thing About Coming to Egypt
by Gary Isse
~ Published: 2006-03-28

Those of you that know me know that I absolutely love chocolate. I can admit it. I am a choclaholic. So, when I came to Egypt and noticed that Nestle is plastered absolutely everywhere, I knew I was going to have some trouble with my addiction. Not only that, but the only ice cream I have seen for sale on the streets here is Nestle, and one of the most common bottled waters sold in restaurants is Nestle. Coming from a free-market system, I see a perfect opportunity for someone to come here and start selling some Fair Trade chocolate, hint, hint. For those of you not sure why I am complaining so much about Nestle, please Click Here. Added 4/6/5: By the way, an alternative to Nestle ice cream seen throughout Egypt is Movenpick. The name seemed suspicious to me, however, so I looked it up when I got home. What a surprise, they are also owned by Nestle. Also, I'm not sure how this slipped but I forgot to mention Nescafe and Nestea. These are everywhere here so if you are a coffee drinker and considering coming to Egypt, you may want to bring your own.
