A trip to the market We were finally overcome by our cravings for meat, and decided to buy some. It is possible to buy meat with an arbitrary degree of filth and skin or feathers, but we chose the see no evil approach and went out to buy frozen meat. One thing that we discovered on this journey was that street addresses are completely arbitrary, and do not form any identifiable pattern as one goes along the street. After buying the meat we headed for the market area north of Commericial street.
Commercial street is full of modern stores, and even had car parking along the street.
One even sees a few westerners along Commercial street. This is an area of the city that has a large percentage of Moslems. It is not uncommon to see women dressed completely in black, including a heavy vail which completely hides the face. The area has many interesting sights, but no tourist impact. On a previous trip I saw a snake charmer wandering up and down the street with his pet cobra in a basket, and on this trip we saw a musician going from store to store.
