I could go on and on about how fine Dubai(where I lived for almost a year, and gave birth to baby Athena) is, but for now I would like to focus about one of the best things about being in the Middle East- the colorfully decorated hand made shoes a.k.a "khussa", popularized by SJP in Sex&the City 2 movie (Abu Dhabi). These shoes can be bought for around 50-90 dirhams(600-1200 pesos) depending on your charms and negotiation powers. In my case, I buy wholesale, at least 6pieces per transaction for me to get the best price and besides you can't go wrong with these shoes. Designs are timeless and its always a good conversation starter especially when you wear them back in the Phils ^_^
*this photo was taken at the old souk in dubai creek. the trader is Pakistani. Most of the Khussa
are hand made in Pakistan and India
these are the only khussa shoes left in my "collection". Ive given some to my friends as pasalubong.
