As a backpacker Cape Town is one of my favorite Cities. Although the public transport is lousy and at night it is dangerous to walk the streets alone the vibe makes up for the down falls. S. Africa has an interesting history and is loaded with adventure seeking trips. All of the hostels in S. Sfri...

-In regards to Shillings. Tanzanian chillings are quite easy to understand, as 10US$ is like 12 Tanzanian Chillings. In Kenya works different. You have to divide the amount times 60 and then you have it in dollars.

Nice diving with Red Sea College - the Egyptian guides are good fun and love the job. Take a dry suit or a 5mm wet suit - january is bloody cold. The town is crap, do not use the hotels in the centre - 2 nightclubs in Neama Bay will keep you awake until 4am

The ferry from Hurghada to Sharm-El-Shiekh costs 250 Egyptian Pounds (about $45 US as of 12/07). While I bought my tickets the day before, tickets could still be purchased before boarding.

2. Bring a women (friend, girl-friend, girl-friend of a friend, mother, more or less what ever you can get), when going out. That keeps the pro's on distance and you might have a relaxed evening.
3. Take taxi the ENTIRE way. Do not jump off at a nearby corne...
