The "junk" souq, Saudi, part 3!

Shopping is fun.  Shopping and finding great stuff really cheap is even more fun (in my opinion!). 

Welcome to the junk souq. Looks pretty drab, but is actually full of great finds...
 especially if you bring along one of these..























And one of these...
And a good fashion hunter like my moms friend Pat....

 Looks like the ugly nightgown rack, right?  Actually these are the mens traditional dress, and you can choose it in white, white, or white.

 Here's what we bought for the kids...around thirty items for a total sum of like 25 dollars (at around .75 cents a piece)



Lydia is having a lot of fun with her new clothes!































And just for fun, here are a few glimpses of what others think about this junk souq:
Haha...get it?  Those are people's hands who have been cut off for stealing, a typical Saudi punishment.  We didn't see any of those at the junk souq, thank goodness!  and in this blogger's own words, "I have been told that many of the clothes were likely cast offs from members of the Royal family. "



This lady had a lot to say about the junk souk, go read it if youre interested... http://www.blueabaya.blogspot.se/2012/02/princess-souq.html

Systematic Theology, Chapter 39

*Just a reminder that this study of Wayne Grudem's book, Systematic Theology, is not by any means me teaching, but rather a simple sum...
