Today I took one of my bargain handbags from Kuwait shopping for the first time

I sure DO miss the Friday market a bit

Not the greatest shot whatsoever, but a cool leather bag I got for cheap

Wishing you all a great weekend!

These are two shots from the Friday market in Kuwait. The people that work stay there for the whole two days and catch some rest and sleep whenever they can.

Is Souq Juma close to become a dead end?

We wanted to go today, but thanks to the Kuwait Times hubby changed his mind.
They printed a review with Interviews from the Shop keepers.
Thanks to that we will not go.

What’s the deal with posting that now?

Like one thing was: There are no books no more. Guys, there are no books since at least one year! The only thing with paper I found last year was one stack of books at one shop.

All else is cheap perfume, handbags and clothes (ahja, carpets and furniture). Oh, don’t forget the sunglasses.

And another was: The food places have been closed down by the government. Old news as well. They are closed since I was there first time in May.

There’s only a few stands left that sell used things and most of these again are utter junk.

Nonetheless it is still fun to go and see.
I will go next week and check it out.
Until then you can check out Souq Juma or the Friday market over here on my page to get an idea what I mean
(The Site still needs a revamp, sorry,….am working on it )

BUT, we still go out today. We will hop to Souq Mubarakiya, try to get some salted peanuts, have a stroll and maybe I even get him to eat something.
(Yes, the promised post about the Kuwaiti Restaurant is still a work in progress - it will come - promise )

You all have a good weekend out there!!
Catch you later
