Dont normally post about mid week activities, but...............

CJD took us to Karama last night! What an experience. basically it is the area where tacky gifts and novelty items are purchased!!! not to mention fake goods!!!! You name it and it is there. They are a pleasant bunch of shop owners, inviting you in for a browse, and in one breath reeling off the knock off films you can get on DVD! and even admitting "Genuine Fakes"quite impressive...every thing from t shirts to trousers, bags and purses to watches....not seen anything quite like it. Worth a browse if nothing else. The funniest thing by far is the glimse of ADSA supermarket plastic bags in the shop window......WHY? i hear you ask....well, they have heard of ASDA price...and yes that is the latest fashionable saying...."i'll give you Asda Price" not content at chanting that at you as you perambulate past, they have Asda Price on signs everywhere....photos will follow when i take my camera back....seeing is believing!

I couldnt resist tho..............I bought a mosque alarm clock.....the same as the one in the lonely planet best of dubai book......and it is equally as loud as carolyns!!! not bad for 10 DHS! hahahahaha going to set them both!!!! see what a noise we can make!!

i think you will agree they are most tasteful!!!!

Note the Troll makes an appearance....still here, and travelling around with us. the bear is DXB......anyone worked it out yet?

I also attach more pics of the Burj trip, Because it was AMAZING!
