Day 125 - We will have been here a week tomorrow. Today, Jay's sisters got serious about shopping. It's a bit weird that people flock here to buy cheap goods. Many of the things were actually made in the places where they'll be repatriated. Additionally, they are stocked, sorted, and sold by fellow countrymen and women. And it all makes economic sense that Dubai gets a get cut and visitors get bargains.
Jay's elder sister needed new luggage as she shared luggage coming. In order to maximize the 25 KG each in the checked bags and 7 KG in the carry-ons, they'll get a lot here. Their luggage will contain clothes, purses, gifts, chocolate, perfumes, nuts and spices, shoes (lots of shoes), and cosmetics. We brought back the empty bags to the apartment and the sisters continued shopping.
Later in the late afternoon, we walked back to the Karama Day-to-Day. It is a five-storey department store of bargains. They did a very good job as the luggage weighed-in a little short of the limits. That means they still have a little leeway if they spot things during the three remaining days in Dubai.
