India, day 12: Shopping

Wednesday.... Wednesday.... what happened Wednesday???

Wow, that took some thinking actually.
But I remember. Wednesday I went shopping! I left the office at 17:00 and headed to Nicola's hotel. There we met and spoke to the hotel owner. He pointed us to some good shopping spot, and off we went.

He bought some nice things, because he was going home the next day. However, we also went into some shop to get me a small carpet. But as soon as you go in there, the prices rise 1000%. And that's not exaggerated! Something that normally costs 80 euros suddenly costs 800. Because a white man is "a walking wallet"! Crazy.

Once we got back to Nicola's hotel I spoke to the owner there and he said he'll try to help me out. We'll see.

All in all, I returned back to my hotel reasonably late again... Getting into the center and do shopping at the end of a working day is madness here. Total madness. I'll try again in the weekend...
