The other day my friend Christie and I headed to Ruwi to visit the framer. We have this guy there who does custom matting and framing for ridiculously cheap. A photo with double matting and frame with non-reflective glass was about $18.00. I couldn’t buy the frame for that back at home.
Baby pouting because we’re not taking her with us. She had grabbed her shoes and was trying to run out to the car.
We never know what we’re going to find in Ruwi and this day was no exception. I was driving along when I saw this huge bull in the back of the small pickup truck. I scared Christie when I yelled, “Oh my gosh! It’s a cow!” He was right down the street from the framer’s so I had to walk back and get a photo.
I love this sign (I took the photo from a distance so I didn’t look too obvious). Do you get it? Faiq (Fake) Money Changers? I’m sure Mr. Faiq doesn’t understand the irony.
And then, since we were nearby and Christie had never been there, I had to show her my favorite 1 rial store. She found this funny on the inside pages of a SpongeBob notebook: “A man should keep his friendship in constant repair.” It is printed on every page next to “Best Wishes!”
I could not figure out how this scary looking contraption could “add a special touch to (my) home.” It turns out it’s a “lemon squizer.” I was a little afraid it was a Happy Family callous grater.
Overly flowery and wordy soap dish.
I wanted to buy one of these so badly for Josh. It’s a khanjar shaped cologne bottle. Of course the display one was the only one on the shelf. And it leaked on Christie’s skin and instantly gave her a rash, so who knows what they put inside the bottle. Oh well. At least it’s one less thing to pack up and move.

I totally don’t understand the point of knocking off a March of Dimes t-shirt. Are these designs really such a hot commodity?
Remember: “Ee a Kero!”
No . . . say what now?
Oh, you didn’t know Dolce and Gabbana made polyester v-necks? They’re all the rage over here. And it looks like they’re “exclusive” to the 1 rial store.
My next wallet — thanks a lot. Grammar points: at least they spelled “a lot” correctly. There’s alot of Americans who can’t.
