A late start in the day, after two cups of my self brewed coffee,  I was finally ready to go, I selected new streets to walk down; still I believe, I recognized this or that place, which I must have passed in the bus the day before. I decided first to go to my new school (for the next two weeks), the Lasalle college of the arts - a very impressive building. There were some people strolling by, but as there is the big semester break, it was not as busy, as it might be.

I then decided to go to the sea front, to the harbor, however, I admit, I did not manage to get there, as there were such a lot of distractions.
When strolling through the city, I felt sometimes like being in a huge botanical garden with many beautiful unknown flowers and some monstrous hippy trees, which I have never seen before.


Then I detected colorful temples and a busy street market, where talkative sellers presented their products like pans or brooms to their audience or tried to relieve all the little aches and pains with the help of cupping or selling them magnifying glasses.







There are shops everywhere, big and small ones with stationary or fabric, pearls, gold or silver jewelry,  indian or muslim dresses, scarves, other little bits and bobs, and of course the beauty shops. Today, at least 4 ladies approached me, inspected carefully my facial and body hair, pulled it slightly, and tried to convince me to loose the undesirable growth through their treatment. I must have looked to them like a hairy monkey.
