Henna

Given that summer is here and many people leave the country the marketers around here have developed a summer festival in the malls and convention centre to keep retailers happy and getting shoppers to leave their homes. We went down to the convention centre to look at the trade fair and the historic village. The village had been moved from the park it usually resides in to indoors in the convention centre. At one of the stall was a woman applying henna. Henna is a form of body adornment used by many woman in the middle east. The girls had their arms done. It goes hard and crusty after about 20-30 minutes and then it slowly falls off leaving the dying on the skin for a week or two.
