Q: I plan on going to Egypt around Christmas and I have always hated the thought of being a tourist. I want to blend in and experience what it is like to be there without being regarded as a tourist all the time.

I have never been to Egypt before and I wonder if it would help me to wear native clothing to sort of disguise my self and further what would be the preferable clothing?

I am male, 32 years old, caucasian and close to 2 meters tall - I tend to stand out in a crowd :)

A: What to wear in Egypt to blend in?

Q: Another shopping question, but I do think it is on topic!

I will soon travel to India, the first few months I will spend in the south and lower parts of the country where it will be warm and hot. As I like to travel light, I plan to bring only some light summer clothes.

Later I will visit the more mountainous regions in the North and would also like to do some trekking in the Himalayas in Nepal. For that I do need warmer clothes and boots.

I am sure I can just buy any normal warm clothes locally, but I do like my quality outdoor clothes, they are just more practical for several reasons.

But being a long-term traveller with little income, I buy most of my outdoor stuff on sale or even second hand. In other Asian countries I did find special outdoor shops but the prices were the same as the full retail-prices in the west or even higher, usually too high for me.

Do I need to buy my fleece, jacket and hiking boots in Delhi or can I wait until I am further north?

How about Kathmandu, being a place with many backpackers and trekkers? What are the prices like?

A: Is it possible to buy outdoor clothing in Northern India/Nepal?

Q: I appreciate we need to carry both passports at all times and I have been doing so except, due to a distraction, this time I forgot my old passport at home in the US. I am due to fly back soon, which rules out having my old passport mailed to me.

What are my options to go back into the States?

If it helps, I have scans of all documents with me, including the photograph and visa page from the old passport as well as the I-129s form I'm always supposed to carry.

A:
I am travelling with a renewed passport and my US visa is in my old passport which I forgot in the US. What are my options?
