Markets, bargaining and fake shirts…
Kind of go together. I dropped by the Russian Market yesterday but didn’t really pick up anything. In the afternoon however, I managed to walk my way over to I think it was the Central Market.
Wandering around it was a lot of the same stuff, you know, bags, cushion covers etc (basically tourist stuff), so I headed into the clothes section… I’d seen a lot of guy business shirts, so started looking for some female ones… and subsequently left with 6 shirts…
Ohh what’s also awesome… tropical fruit at super cheap prices. Speaking of fruit.. yesterday evening I was down by the river and eating some guava with chili, salt and sugar (I think it was)… and so this little girl seller/part beggar (well you know asking for money, I don’t think she was actually homeless).. came by and started trying to sell… and I’m like nah.. but then offered her some of my fruit as I couldn’t eat it all… so then we kinda just sat for a while… I think I’ve got into a habit of offloading the food I can’t eat onto the kids… wonders if it’s a bad thing, but I think it’s better than giving them money. also gave half a breadstick to these boys… i wasn’t going to eat it anyway it kinda just appeared with my breakfast of omellete…
yep ordering for 1 is hard as whatever i order is always too much for me to eat…
