The main "bazaar" or market area is filled with shops of every type. Most sell only one type of item... kitchen items, bedding, shoes, shawls, fabric, plastics, electronics, heaters, and the list goes on. Usually shops selling similar items are clustered together in one area. An alleyway may only have shops that sell notepaper and books. Another section may only have vegetables on offer. There are no maps, a person has to just keep walking until the right shop appears. Between trying to avoid tripping into a pothole, getting in the way of honking motorcycles and scooters, or bumping into someone or something, the shopper also has to be able to take in all the sights bombarding his eyes. It's a wonder if a person can exit this cacophony unscathed. And just for you ladies, "shop 'til you drop" takes on quite a new meaning here, walking for hours just to find that one elusive item in that one elusive shop. Malls are a walk in the park compared to this!
