  • Oh no ! I am attacking The Bedoiuns now !
    Well, when we walk around Petra The Bedouins would offer us their hospitality.
    We smile & they smile back, then they come to us !
    They ask us to buy this & that...
    Well, let's take a look; If we like it we buy it right ? If we don't want to buy anything, we just say, " La, shukran..." Means, no thank you.
    Some Bedouins, especially the young females like to make a habit of saying, "You Come Back Okay !".
    So, when we pass their souvenir stalls again, they will smile broadly & even offer us tea.
    Ahh, nice hospitality !
    Then, of course...they will say, " You will buy something okay ! I made nice tea for you !"
    What do you do ?
    You just say, "No, thank you !"
    Leave !
    Then, you can hear they are shouting behind you, "Oi ! Oi ! Oi ! You don't get FREE tea okay ! You will pay for the tea !"
    Keep on walking !

     I see, I'll have to visit Petra twice: at daytime and at night. Wow, these lights, the moon, a musician look mysterious... only ghosts needed...
