me and mecca : things that they sell on the street

These pictures are from my last year trip to Mecca
but I still keep some of them in my camera apparently
and excitedly share them here to remind me how
colorful those stuff they are selling and how actually
some of them are pretty much ordinary stuffs even
in Jakarta or Indonesian's street. Sure love to go back
there someday:)

Ini foto-foto dari perjalanan ke Mekah saya tahun lalu,
yang memang sengaja masih saya simpan di dalam
kamera karena belum sempat disortir saking banyaknya.
Saya selalu senang dengan warna warni dan berbagai
macam pedagang dan barang yang dijual di jalanan
Mekah. Ingin sekali kembali kesana suatu hari nanti:)

me and mecca : their fancy camels

These camels are mostly hang around at the mountain
areas where mostly visited by people about to pay
respect to a cave, cemetery or statue around it.
I feel sad actually seeing how heavy these camels
being accessorized(?) by their owners just to look
fun and pretty to attract those people to ride them.

I mean look at all those carpets and other dangling
things they put on them! Imagined walking up and
down the mountain with those things PLUS someone
riding on your back? There.

me and mecca : henna, anyone?

Henna, a popular Indian technique of coloring made of herbs, is also

very popular among Arab people. I see all kinds of henna in the

markets near my hotel in mecca. I heard they are much easier

to apply and stay longer compares to those in jakarta.

Look, even their packagings are so pretty, right?

me and mecca : ice cream cars!

I was so happy when I see them parked around
a hill that we visit when we were in mecca.

Apart from ice cream, they also sell coffee and
tea with milk, water and of course ice cream
cones in vanilla and chocolate flavours!

Aren't they just rad?

me and you: so glad to be back!

I just came back from such a mindblowing and

inspiring trip with my mother and how I can't

wait to share you all in my next posts. For now

I'm still trying to go back to my regular sleeping

hours:)
