Newspaper is never the same again

Newspaper in Eqypt has very few pages. I reckon not more than 10 pages. Having accustommed to close to 50 pages in every daily issue of Star, newspaper in Egypt is a luxury and more so even for old newspaper. The vendor at the souveniers shop was reluctant to wrap the cups with paper. After much squabling and negotiating, he finally relented and walked to next stall to ask for newspaper to wrap our souvenir cups.
It is only when we travel , we see what we take for granted in Malaysia is a prized possession for the poorer folks.
