The shop keeper attempts to lure us in, as do all the shop keepers in this part of the world. He says "This is the shop, this is where you want to be".
I find his use of English very enticing, since so many of the people here cannot use proper grammar to concoct a sentence that isn't memorized as a sentence.
We step in
What follows is a series of exchanges that are funny, playful and very entertaining. He has perfect language skills, he jokes, he makes us laugh.
His prices aren't the best, my friend points out to me.
I buy more scarves than I might wear in a lifetime, but they will make good gifts if I don't wear them.
If I do wear them, I will smile and think of a conversation
with a shop keeper
who innocently flirted and said "40 dirham" with an expression on his face that felt like a kiss when it reached your ears.
A clever conversation is worth gold to me.
Right now I am gold poor.
The prices don't matter, the exchange was priceless and my memory will hold it dear...
Global Village in Dubai 10 aed
Scarves 150 aed
A 15 minute clever conversation that makes me laugh and smile ... Priceless
