[ fleas and ants ]

WELL, I have officially been to my first Dubai Flea Market. And... well, let's just say it wasn't what I had expected.


It could best be described as a swarm of ants at a picnic. A total frenzy. People pushing and rummaging through bins and piles, I could barely get anywhere near the goods.


Needless to say, I left empty-handed, apart from being asked by a Gulf News reporter if she could take my photo for her coverage of the event (I politely declined).

I was really hoping to find some vintage pieces and household things - something besides clothes and cheap sunglasses. Hmm... I wonder if I'll ever convince my guy to try again later?
