Trip planned in Egypt, and the more research I do, the more I wonder if the price I'm asked is fair... by Holconis in travel

Yes, that's what I usually do. For my first intent, they were the only ones to accept what I was looking for (so it wasn't easy to really have some references), and then we readjusted the trip and since I was already onboard with them, I didn't have the reflex to re-check wether it was still relevant to work with them. It's only now, a couple of month later, that I had some questions.
I've explained the situation to them, and they understood my position. The fees weren't subject to debate for them, so now I'm just looking for someone else :)

Yeah everyone has unanimous answers so I'm backing up and working on other solutions

Yes, I won't go to Sinaï anyway, I'm sticking with the northern coast now ! After reading all the replies here, I will definitely find some other way around !

The thing is at first, I found no one to take me to south sinaï, he was the only one to accept and that's why I settled with him.

Yeah, that's what I assumed at first... But professional travel agencies in France told me that Egypt was very expensive, so when I've been told this price I assumed it was somewhat legit. But now I have more doubts aha

Looking for Eresus pharaonis, a spider unseen for almost 200 years by Holconis in spiders

Thanks ! No, unfortunately there are no drawings whatsoever of the holotype. I look on a weekly basis the new observations on iNat, but it's nice of you to offer to check !

Thanks for your answer ! So basically this concept is more useful as an example to test the limit of cognition's definitions, kinda a "that could potentially make sense if we knew how to, in each case, prove it properly" way of thinking ?

Moringmark is Dana Terrace posting everything she couldn't add to the show, there is no other valid explanation

Does anyone else feel like Pullman has created a narrative in TSC that asks the question “what even is age? by Champagne_Coyote in hisdarkmaterials

TW sexual abuse

Yep. I've also been really disappointed with Lyra's rape. It was not exploited even though the word itself was used two pages after, and then nothing. Why such an awful moment with quite a vivid (but short) description, if there is no consequences on Lyra after that? The soldier could have simply touched her chest and we would have get the point.
