A walk thru Arab Street ...continues

Continued from the previous post ...
During the Martial Arts display ,this particular photographer kept blocking the people and was busy clicking photos untill one of the foreign tourists tapped him on his shoulder ,oh! what a look he gave @$%#!!!!! :) . U can see him in the background . I hope he doesn't come across this blog ;-) !!!



Some of the visitors also tried balancing the sword ... No we didnt try as we were busy clicking the pictures :D . There was one girl who was trying from a long time to balance the sword and after a lot of concentration she finally did manage to blanace the sword. I did get the shot of her achivement.
What an Achivement !!! :) ..

There was this person who seemed to be welcoming all the people who gave us some scented grass and told us "Keep it under your pillow ,Heaven will come to you :) " and after a pause he told "and the second time you will got to Heaven " ..I am not quite sure what he meant ; ) . He kept welcoming the visitors and telling them about the swords and how old the sword were.
We have there till 1 o'clock after which our stomachs started growling and making noises. As we went in search for a place to eat we saw some old buildings ,i must say beautifully carved and colorful windows all along the street. All the houses were in one color and the windows in a different color. Some doors had some simple hand made designs around them ,reminded me of old Indian mud houses which would decorated by ladies of the family.

Perpendicular to Arab street is Baghdad Street :D .All the street names are familiar names. I even saw a shop named Alibaba :) and Alladin . Lot of carpet shops were there. The street was full of textile shops.


All in all the day was really colorful :).
