Like sardines in a can, the bags, purses, books, nicknacks, and pillowcases line the walls on either side of a store. We entered on one side of the tunnel-like store. We walked. I walked side-ways; my hips were too big to fit otherwise. I hesitated before pulling out an electric blue satin wallet from the shelf for fear that all would come toppling down on me with the one. Out on to the other side of the tunnel, there were more stores of telephones, stationary, clocks, buttons, cloth, and jewelry.
In fact these places have every imaginable thing. Need a mango juice can telephone? Jesus stickers? Peacock lamps? High heels with roses on the toes? Fake microwave noodle keychains?
I wish all of you could go to the "whole-sale" market with me.

'twould be fun. but if you had to go sideways, i don't know how we'd all fit... take turns, sideways, i suppose... :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, sounds like fun! We'd fit in the way chinese do city buses: we would all cram in, and if someone wanted out, we would all have to leave and then pile back in ...or maybe not heheh :-p
