I had a role lined up in Cairo when I was in Ireland, $1250 a day, copped out when I mentioned I'd need an Egyptian Work Permit, and they said, oh no, just get a visit visa waiver on entry, not a prob...

Actually wish I'd gone for it now....

Incoming Call from Alexandria...

..or Houston Tx and various others & they're always agencies.

I assumed this was just a quirk of my phone but I got cut off talking to an agent (who I assume was in the uk) just now & tried to call back & ended up getting an earful of Arabic.

What's all that about?
