I changed into a shirt being on the toilet and all of sudden I felt something on my back. I thought I had a paper or something in my shirt. But then IT started to crawl all over my back. I screamed out very loud and quickly removed my shirt and there on the floor...........................................................................
was a cockroach. It was huge!!! I kept on screaming for another minute and then running out from the toilet. My housekeeper took IT away and I am sure she was laughing behind my back. It's fun to make someone happy isn't it?
Then I went to Sarajini Nagar Market with my cook to buy an oven. ( Some weeks ago I bought cleaning stuff for my oven and when I came home I didn't find any oven!!).
This is a great market to stroll around, here one can find export surplus/reject clothing for the whole family at bargaining prices. One you have visited here a few times, you will get the hang of it. Whether you love or hate this place, it does have everything, and well worth the effort. I bought four under bed sheets eight pillow cases and two pillows for 74 pounds or 840 SEK. These sheets and pillows were the best quality and of course the most expensive. When I was paying with my card he asked for my PIN code. He just laughed when I told him to turn away! Indian people are very friendly and seldom thinks about crimes. It's amazing being in this big capital and finding it so innocent.
Sale t-shirt 7 pounds or 8 kronor each!
Garbage ubiquitous! It's awful! No environmental thinking at all! Plastic bags in every shop. England started to get people to bring their own bags to shopping mall by giving them extra points on their shopping card in Sainsbury. I wonder how they will deal with this in India. In Sweden we bring our own bag most of the time.
My favourite market Sarojini Nagar Market. It takes a lot of time to buy things as you don't find everything in one market.
I always smile seeing these men running along upon the desk to be able to reach things on the shelves.
Last week when I tried to buy shoes one men was on the attic throwing down shoes from a small hole and one man was putting the shoes on my foot.
In another shoe shop an Korean lady was helping me but the manager came and told us:
"No business now it's prayer time."
India is different and I love it!
