O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Red nakon reda tezgi stisne se u uske uličice, gde prodavci viču ponude, a vazduh je gust od cimeta i kurkume. Više od 1.000 trgovaca prodaje sve od mesinganih predmeta do elektronike, i očekuje se cenkanje, tako da često možete spustiti cenu za 20 do 40 odsto.
Istaknuto: Uličice sa začinima sa niskim stropom oslobađaju jaku mešavinu cimeta, karanfilića i suvog čilija, gde jedna tezga može složiti više od 80 različitih začina u staklenim teglama tako da možete nanjušiti pre kupovine. Koridor za ribu postaje teatralan dok prodavci filetiraju 200 do 300 kilograma ulova pod fluorescentnim lampama, mokri pod reflektuje bljeskove noža i oštar miris soli i limete.
Insajderski saveti
- Wear closed-toe shoes and lightweight clothes because alleys are narrow and ground can be uneven.
- Keep valuables in a front pocket or money belt and use small denomination notes to speed transactions.
- Ask permission before photographing vendors and focus on colorful fabric stalls and spice towers for the best shots.
- Compare prices across several stalls when buying spices, textiles or electronics, and carry a reusable bag for purchases.
