Dragonmart

So we went on a little adventure... not really it's only an hour away, but it makes it sound more exciting doesn't it? Dragonmart is a HUGE place, full of little shops with things made in china. We didn't see 1/4th of it. The stuff there was likely 99% junk. We went looking for a cheap quad bike, aka a 4 wheeler back home. We had heard from some friends that they had them there. We saw kid ones, but not bigger ones. Then we get a hold of them and they are supposedly on the other side of the mall. the mall if over a kilometer long, so we gave up. We had given midget some of her money left over from the garage sale back home, so she "translated" it. How cute is that? So she had 140 dirhams, sounds like a lot, but it's about 35 dollars. She got a hello kitty purse, wallet, a compact pink mouse for her laptop, and headphones, and last but not least, the cutest little chinese style dress. Can you believe it? Funny...
Monkey got a knock off gameboy, not quite sure why? It came loaded with games though,and was 25 dirhams! Nuts... But it was mostly junk. Lot's of knock of purses, but i had just gotten my favorite one, so i didn't want another. Although the burberry looking one, was calling my name. Had it not been in the DuDu store. :)
We also had some wonderful news, our new neighbors, who are old friends of hubbies have arrived. With them, 3 fabulous kids! And there oldest is close to monkey's age, and he is thrilled beyond words! Midget is excited too, they have a 3 almost 4 yr old girl, and she is all set to be a mama to her :) I am excited because they are the nicest couple and are from home!
Here is a link to dragonmart if you are curious!
