Day Eighteen 03-11-10

Flea Market Day:

 

The day where Liny’s mom is trialling her shop for the second time and the day that we have been washed away by the rain.

The day started off very promising with not too hot not too cold weather, it was the day of the famous Flea market at the Anjuna. It happens every Wednesday during the season time (November- March) where you can buy trinkets to second hand motorbikes . I went there with a limited amount of money because Liny said that I will buy a lot!!!! and she was right after 10 minutes I was broke and I wanted to buy more stuff. So we flew into the restaurant to get some food and not spend much more. However while we were sitting it started drizzling a bit soon after that heaven came down and all the people were running to protect their shop from the rain.

The Flea market was supposed to be from the morning till 7:00 PM. However everyone was gone at around 2:00 PM

After the food, we went also back to get some more money in the hope to buy the things that I wanted. On the way we soaked by the rain unfortunately, once back at the flea market most sellers were gone. Lucky enough sellers were I wanted to buy my stuff from were slow in leaving, so in the end I was able to buy my stuff I wanted.

Around 3’o clock the rain stopped, so Liny and I went roaming around on the moped again. We ended up in some kind of big super market, where I only bought a bar of Cadbury chocolate made in Mumbai. However it had the Brummy name Cadbury on it, it tasted like some chocolate gum. On the way back, we saw some football

and dropped by subway to get a sandwich and landed at a place where they had some live music with power from a generator. Namely, it is very common when it rains that there are electricity cuts. Lucky enough for some reason our place was the only place which had partly electricity (Liny’s mum s house, all the pubs around the place no electricity. We had only two of the four light switches working).

So yeah, not a very interesting day but quite full.
