Flohmarkt!

if you look around you, at home, office or even at your car, you will find out that you are surrounded by "useless"  objects, which you would never-ever even think about getting rid of!
While I lived in Berlin, i experienced an interesting activity : the “Flohmarkt” or “flee market” or whatever you may call it!
In every neighborhood, in a small street, a park, or unbuilt area, people get their stuff, and display all kind of stuff on a rented table or simply on the ground!… 
People who love antiques, old photo albums, all kind of unusual things are the main clients…
this way we can give away the useless items having a special place in our heart guilt-free, knowing that it would end up in good hands rather than simply throwing them away (which we would never do actually)
The experience is great, and in return one could get really amazing bargains!
I got once this wonderful book
It’s about brother grimm’s stories
i found out later that this book won several prizes, especially for the illustrations (which ARE great)
I got it for 2 euros!
So shall we begin planning a flohmarkt in Beirut?
