Itwaar Bazaar

Yesterday was Itwaar(Sunday). So we went to Itwaar Bazaar in Islamabad. It was huge! But the strangest thing I saw there was some white lady, wearing American clothes. At first glance, Baji thought she was a statue, because it was so weird. Then I contemplated on how not only am I white, but how weird it was to be white here. It would be like having purple skin back home. I saw some other light skinned women, who were wearing desi clothes and speaking Urdu, and they didn't stick out too much. I wonder what I look like. LOL! The second strangest thing that I saw was a tie between people interrupting each other, beggars asking you for more money after you already give them some(I didn't, Ummi did) and this one shop that decided to turn up the music really really loud while we were looking for something, and I'm talking so loud that it made us want to walk away(and I did, although I think ummi was in the middle of buying something, a new electricity converter, since chonou broke one.

We ended up spending only about an hour or two there, I'm not sure why, maybe we were getting tired, and then we went home. Once I got home, I realized that we didn't even get the one thing that we really had to buy(a warm chador for my husband before they put the warm clothing away (cold weather is almost over).

Chonou got a new cricket bat and some bubbles that he absolutely loves, and I got fabric for a jilbab. We also got some yummy sugar cane and sugar cane juice. YAY!
