Aden Mall!





I go to the stores and see aisles of products…some familiar, most not. Some with funny names, and most all with Arabic script. I make it a literacy game to read more and more in Arabic, but the absence of short vowels leaves me mispronouncing words. You’ll be delighted to know that in Aden there is a mall and the Yemeni answer to the Wal-Mart: LuLu. Quite a thrill, I must say, to peruse through that store and see what surprises you come across. See the pictures!
