Cat and Dog

Modern Egyptians were famous for being lazy, matched only by the Indians in the developing countries.

It was okay to be poor. Everyone had been at that stage at one point in time. One could just work hard to make riches, using your hard-working hands to build a beautiful home. But, to be honest, modern Egyptians didn't have the luck of Europeans, though they had their problems.

Even the most basic form of courtesy in a modern society, punctuality, was followed by few. Other than people in certain industries, like the government, travel, shipping, and finance, it was normal for Egyptians to be more than half an hour late for any sort of meeting, and they weren't even embarrassed by it. One could imagine how low their work efficiency was.
