You will have to pay since NYC is a very congested city. Every Embassy in NYC knows this and obey by it rules except Egypt and the other Arab Embassies! We were told the police will tow our cars even we have diplomatic plate on our car when we park it on no zone parking and we will have to pay for the fines! I think Egyptian diplomats has been pampered and all the expenses been paid by Egyptian Government they think they will get away with. Egypt is the only country that gave even diplomatic passport to parents in law!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-66320918338770257782009-06-24T22:10:01.561+03:002009-06-24T22:10:01.561+03:00You need to pay a visit to the Egyptian consulate ...You need to pay a visit to the Egyptian consulate in NYC; then you will wonder why our diplomats don't pay for their mistakes. Despite the fact that the consulate is located in the heart of Manhattan, you'd get the feeling that you are inside a typical one of those "el se'gil el madany" offices as soon as you enter their facility... not to mention the mentality of those whom you'd get to deal with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-36747584150527585452009-06-24T21:07:26.765+03:002009-06-24T21:07:26.765+03:00this time you're being too harsh on your count...this time you're being too harsh on your country<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/nywhefAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-68308279912225513852009-06-24T19:28:55.306+03:002009-06-24T19:28:55.306+03:00@anonymous, I hope they understand this and respec...@anonymous, I hope they understand this and respect themselves. <br /><br />@JB , I do not like this diplomatic immunity too despite I know it is useful for certain proposes related to national security , unfortunately it is often used in a bad way speaking for our experience with the diplomatic society in Egypt <br />I am not surprised that we made headlines in UK too :( <br />I hope our diplomats pay their tickets in UK tooZeinobiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290387395565291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-45239339951422549842009-06-24T19:00:38.233+03:002009-06-24T19:00:38.233+03:00well diplomats have what we call diplomatic immuni...well diplomats have what we call diplomatic immunity, that's why they don't have to pay their fines<br />which is, in my opinion, not a good idea, because then people are treated differently due to their social status, which is, as we hopefully all know, not very democratic <br />and egypt also made headlines in the UK btw<br />--<br />JBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-34106099471128843552009-06-24T16:55:56.954+03:002009-06-24T16:55:56.954+03:00Virtually any diplomats pay their parking tickets ...Virtually any diplomats pay their parking tickets in New York City.
