Markets!

We had a great time with our friends in the Gulf :) I have soooo many pictures that I need to post but I decided this will be the last blog post on our trip and I'll post the rest of the pictures on Facebook in the next few days.
Anyway, one thing I love to check out in other countries are the markets. I think you can see so much about a city through the markets (or Souks as they call them on that side of the world) :)
The Gulf has some really fun people!
In this market there was a cool tea stall. It was so cute and colorful.
It was a really fun tea stall :)
Thanks friends! We had fun hanging out with you guys!!!!

There are things that drive me crazy (like people urinating on the sidewalks - yuck!) but thankfully honking is not one of them because we hear it pretty much 24/7. We saw this poster the other day (below) and thought it was funny... BUT not as funny as the Hindi poster. The Hindi poster pretty much said that 'Honking is bad for your health' - haha ! Horns are actually a pretty necessary part of driving here. You don't really look behind you when you drive (most people either don't use their side mirrors, don't have side mirrors, or just have them folded in). When you drive, you just drive forward and you honk at the person in front of you to let them know that you're there - simple right? Sure, it's a little noisy, but you never have to look behind you :) If you go to that company's website it says: "Have patience at the traffic signals, let the signal t...
