Hello lovely ladies !! Im back from my big fat Indian adventure and just back in Dubai for a few weeks before heading off again.
Anyway, just wanted to know the following :

1- does anyone know where i can buy those large plastic carry / storage bags. Huge maybe 1m high and 500mm wide with a large zipper and handles, and often in bright stripey colours? I am lugging and hauling things from place to place here and will finally end up at Safa market and really struggling with small itty bags and boxes
2- Anyone have a spare clothes rail thingy that I could borrow just for the day at Safa market to sell clothes? That would be a huge favour so I dont have to buy one.

Ok thats it.
Beachy maria / Scope etc :-)

Oh hello ladies - thanks for the tips. Im surprised how hard they are to buy - I went to the Co-op today to give it a try but no..... Maybe Ikea next Simpleasbc - HELLO ! Yes it was wonderful.... crazy, noisy, colourful, friendly and next stop is Nepal - I am going to volunteer there for 2 / 3 months. I am so glad I took the plunge and put my fears aside. MDM Mom - The next market is the 5th of Feb - see you there!

I bought some of those bags way back when in Satwa, am sure they still sell them though! <em>edited by cjb on 23/01/2011</em>

Just wanted to say welcome back, Beachy Maria, I've been wondering how's it been going? Hope you've been having a great time - it sounds as if you've not regretted your decision to take time out! Where will you be off to next? Sorry, can't help with bags and clothes rails, just wanted to say hi!

you can get the bags you are talking about in ikea, they are near the storage boxes, clothes rails, and hangers, i saw them yesterday.
