Hello,
We walked through street repaving on our way to the store. I believe it looked quite typical, but not as blocked off as it would have been in the US. As you might notice there is much dirt and little grass.
Sarah was interested in spending her local money so we splurged and spent some time on the Internet at the café with a faster connection than the one at home.
In another picture you will see a guy shining shoes. It was typical to see business set up just about anywhere.
In the store someone must have wanted the mattress at the bottom of the stack. They seemed to discuss how to get it out before trying unsuccessfully to lift the pile to pull out a low one. Later more guys came and helped. Still not sure that was successful since we moved on to do our shopping. Sarah did not think they had box springs, just mattresses that could be folded in half in need be to get them home. We did occasionally see trucks pilled high with mattresses. They would move down the street and keep them all, but we did not know how. Someone surely knew how to tie them on securely.
This store seemed to be used more by locals than by ex-pats. Notice the baby carried on the back. Lexi is sitting in a toy car in the front of the shopping cart. Certainly something that can be seen in the US. It was cool while we were there so jackets or many wore sweaters.
The store had a little of everything almost like Wal-mart with much narrower aisles and smaller carts.
