ISLAMIC SHOP
Never thought I was going to enter this islamic store, or so does everyone call it in the area. Al-tawheed we al-Nour. It was quite an experience. I am heading to France this week so M. asked me for hunting pants that she can wear under her cloths in winter. She wanted them in pure cotton, and pointed me to this tawheed place. So, there I went. Upon entering the place, I thought I was transformed into this new world. A hive, except it is a lazy one. Only crowded.

I am a Starbucks fan, I would like to have it here. Not necessarily for the coffee, but because it needs a certain living standard and development to come to a certain country. Just like McD's Big Mac :D
Good luck
