Hello Kitty and Spaz Cat? or Winky Cat?
Snoopy and Random Duck?
Alacrity? “Brisk and cheerful readiness.” I guess it fits.
We find that they are putting “Angry Birds” on everything, whether relevant or not. “Welcome to my little world. Let’s play together.”
“Train Energy Powerful: Too courageous to be met with”
Serving spoon, anyone?

We stopped by Lamcy Plaza last night. Lamcy is a unique mall, or was. It had truly eclectic decor. When you first walked in, you saw a waterfall that stretched over all three floors.
(2009)
To the right there was a robotic clown climbing up and down a rope. And, behind you, over the entrance was the Tower Bridge, a medieval castle also stretching up three floors.
I didn’t check for the clown last night, but I don’t remember seeing him and I think he may already be gone. The waterfall looked like this:
The signs said “coming soon” a new passager elevator. OH NO!

Not culturally sensitive, to say the least.
Didn’t we get over this fashion statement back in the 1980′s? Plaid shirt and down vest? Really?
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, these are unlined rain coats being sold in an arid desert country. When it rains here, and it does, you don’t go out for a stroll. It rains hard and there is thunder and lightening. People have been struck dead while walking in the rain.
This just amazes. It is a dish scrub sponge shaped like Diana Ross with the sponge serving as her afro hairdo.

The joys of discount store shopping in Fujairah match those of doing it in Dubai. Here’s a few highlights from today’s adventure.
First, some quite realistic looking toy handguns and plastic rifles. I’m fairly sure that these have been eradicated from American store shelves.
Not far away are the Barbie wannabes. There were some brunettes in the bunch, but they were all fair of complexion.
This “one piece mug” apparently comes with two pieces – mug and spoon.
If you wondered where all those summer camp popsickle stick craft projects went, here they are.
Do these remind you of any well known detergent brand? Maybe it wouldn’t be so obvious if they weren’t displayed side by side.

Let’s play a game.
Can you find the Kaka Fruit?
I think, by elimination, I narrowed it down to the persimmons.
(If you don’t see any humor in “kaka fruit,” allow me to explain that “kaka” in some countries is slang for poop.)

Yes, here’s the solution to that gift giving conundrum you’ve been struggling with – a horse lamp.
We took this picture months ago. It was part of some shopping promotional. A completely coordinated living room was placed in the hallway of the mall.
What you can’t see in these pictures is that the horse is anatomically correct, including an anus. He’s not overly endowed – wouldn’t want to be tacky, after all.
