From western splendour to an Indian experience today...
Three temples, an Indian vegetarian lunch and the entire day in Mustafa's - an Indian-owned six level department store occupying an entire block. Fascinating! Packed with stock and people...
And amazing things for sale... Lengths of sari fabrics, jewel-encrusted ladies Punjabi tops and pants, regular men's and women's clothes, Asian furniture, gold chains, gold rings, gold watches, technology laid on, appliances, a supermarket, a chemist store. Even a burgundy-coloured LG washing machine with black floral patterns and diamantes!
It was another amazing eight hour day of retail and I could have kept scratching. But the girls were fading. It was home time, a quick meal across the roundabout at Newtons Circus Hawkers Market.
And an early night.
