"Very good prices, here. Something special."
"Sir...pillowcase?"
Wandering the crowded Crawford Market in Mumbai opens a traveler to calls like these from the time one enters to the time one leaves. Though a few stalls face the streets, narrow alleyways lead an ambitious traveler beyond the storefronts into the back where a maze of shops, stalls, and people await. Unfortunately, the shopping is not that interesting as most of the stands sell one or more of the following: watches, beltbuckles, underwear, and cheap toys imported from China. That said, it's an experience just to be surrounded by so much humanity, and the constant noise and yelling that, miraculously, after half an hour or so there, almost seems normal.
