How To Shop In India

Lots of people with bikes carrying their wares to sell. This man was selling fabric on our street.

Musambo juice vendor. We've never tried this because we're not sure the water he uses is safe. It looks good!!

This is a happy peanut vendor. He will push his cart up and down the street. You don't see him stay in one place to long.

This is a tire shop. It's a little box building and he will lock it up at night and go home and be back the next day.

Our bank where we use the ATM most of the time. ATM is on the right, actual bank on the left. There are some nice people inside that help us get change and were also helpful when we couldn't get our ATM card to work.

This is one of the kids selling his good to the traffic off Hyderabad. People doing this are 1 step above the beggars....at least they have something to sell.... You see kids 5-6 years old selling on the street. We've been told they are required to put in 7-8 hours a day....Even the ones who go to school.

This is where we buy and refill ink cartridges for our printer. It's a tiny little shop. You are looking at it. Standing room only. It's located in an area called Paradise. The shopping area is called Computer Alley.

This is Computer Alley. Little shops with office supplies. Each garage door has a little shop and there are always a zillion motorbikes out front.

Computer alley has 2 street areas.

We were buying fruit and she wanted her picture taken. This area is near the post office that takes packages. Yes there is a post office for letters and 1 for packages.

We bought grapes, pomegranates and the orange and green fruit are the little clementines that we like so much. They just came on a week or 2 ago. The green ones are very tart....so we make sure we get the more orange ones. They are so good!!!

Notice the ladies have on their beautiful sari's. Always.....

Quite often we go into a building like this...(there are a zillion just like it and every street looks the same....rows and rows of these kind of buildings) to send a letter by a currior. Our church meets in a building in 4th branch that is a lot like this. I will take a picture someday. Notice all the billboards. You can cram a lot of little shops in a big building like this. Finding the one you need inside the building is another maze.
