At the end of November we had the opportunity to attend a local festival. It was very interesting and informative of a little of the local culture and history. The people were all very nice and welcoming, hoping that we enjoyed their festival. They encouraged us to ask questions, and wanted our input in what we thought of their festival. It was interesting to see the people in a different environment from what I normally see. We went into a heritage village which showed different jobs, markets, houses and a coffee shop how they used to be in the old days. Greg and Lily sat at the coffee shop for a little bit. We walked around the festival with a translater, she took me into the shopping area to walk around and see some of the crafts. We had a family picture taken and our names written in arabic. I also received a wooden boat from one of the stall holders. In all it was a good day and I was very happy that we attended.
