There are a lot of similarities between the markets of developing nations across the world...something that seems to have transcended the ages!!Bellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255333784801728350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030254960251238128.post-72292741981223356422008-05-28T03:58:00.000+07:002008-05-28T03:58:00.000+07:00That was just so beautiful Steve.

It's amazing how similar markets smell the world over but there is nonetheless a uniqueness to each one. I recall my total amazement at my first sensory experience of the Spice Saulk in Damascus. It was a covered area (an ancient street from centuries ago just covered over) and you could see the combination of dust and spices moving in the light chinks from the holey roof!<BR/><BR/>I just loved all your photos and yes, Libby did a great job in selling this school, not only to you guys but to me. Her book, which she has lent me, is terrific. Also a useful tool when discussing your course with you on the phone.<BR/><BR/>Fantastic!Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15670367596465395992noreply@blogger.com
