Markets-Damascus

People cool breads soon after they bought them.

Modern dresses attract the local women no matter who they are.

Western style clothes are on sale everywhere in the city.

Friday Market is an old open market at the north of Damascus. The images of the country's leaders can been seen everywhere.

There are numerous markets in Damascus. Most of them are run in an old traditional way. Small shops focus on the sale of one or two types of goods. People here shop in many stores to get for their daily needs.

I did miss the convenience of shopping at supermarkets and groceries in the States during the first month in Damascus. Now I know my way around after being here six weeks. Doing shopping in Damascus has become very enjoyable.
