From home with Love

Alkalakla allafa is an indicator of many things;
It gives a feeling of how crowded khartoum state is. It is almost as noisy as Khan alkhalili. a mixture of people, cars, donkies, buses, kiosks full of whatever and .........
on the second floor of a concrete building is a huge sign screaming that the floor is a secondary school for girls. How do they get the girls up there, on a catapult? however, it also has a good sign, everyone, women and men seem to be working hard. in the heat of the day is a woman sitting right across from a kanoon full of lit coal, how hot can it get? she is selling a highly demanded commodity, Tea! hilba, harjal, ginger and other drinks. the weather is hot the drinks are hot and only God knows how many people would die of sun stroke. In the end sit alshai does not look anything like the romanticized picture drawn of her.
Allaffa is a place buzzing with life, noisy, crowded and definately not my easy-going hometown.
