A tourist from Poland, who recently had a rest in Egypt, wrote an indignant letter to the editorial office of Onet, accusing the Egyptians of being in solidarity with the Russians.
First of all, Mrs. Emilia was enraged that from the moment she landed in Sharm el-Sheikh, the "Russian influence" was everywhere.
"The neighbor's [Russian] speech was mostly heard in the arrivals hall. When I went outside, I saw a lot of tour operators holding signs with inscriptions in Russian and looking at us, hoping that maybe we are the tourists they are waiting for. A resident was assigned to us, who, presenting the history of Egypt to us on the way to the hotel, constantly made mistakes, mixing Polish and Russian. Tourists pointed out to him that we didn't understand anything, and he was very surprised and said that it was the same," writes a tourist from the Vistula.
Further — more. At the hotel, the Poles were given room cards with an envelope "stuffed with information about the resort in Russian." When Mrs. Emilia chose a trip to the sights and talked with an Egyptian guide, a more serious incident occurred.
"The conversation went smoothly, the Egyptian was in a good mood, joking until he heard a question from me — has he ever been to Poland? The fact that he answered us made everyone tense up! "I would like to see Poland, but I will come after the war," he said. He said that Poland is at war with Russia. I wanted to pack my bags and go home. We all left outraged!" — the Polish tourist continues.
The situation repeated itself again when the Poles were taken to The old town.
"I started looking for magnets, packing souvenirs, the seller asked where I was from. "From Poland,“ she replied. To which he said with complete contempt: "You are at war with Russia." I couldn't stand it, dropped everything and left. It was too much!" — pani is emotional.
In conclusion, Polka notes that "there were ten Russians per square meter in a night bar."
"Russian music was playing, they were singing, laughing and having a great time. Then I realized that there is no place in Egypt where I could go and not listen to this language," the Polish vacationer sums up.
