I was taken to the ophthalmologist to get me eyes tested for reading glasses. The optician is also a surgeon and she works out of a tiny back office independently from the shop where they actually sell you the spectacles. She charged 250 Rs ie £2.67 and sent me back to the opticians shop. This place is always crowded with at least 6 to 8 customers being served simultaneously by 5 employees.
Jaggery is raw cane sugar.
Local delicious bread rolls called Pau and Poi.
We like the flatter ones at the back but they need to bought fresh daily.
This lady is selling shrimps, king prawns and tiger prawns.
200rs per kilogram ie £2.14 for the king prawns.
You must feel like millionaires holidaying in India.
ReplyDeleteWe are millionaires by comparison, but the currency notes have hundreds written on them so when someone suggests a price of 500 rupees we gasp in horror. In actual fact it's a mere £5! We do find ourselves eating in sometimes to save money. After all, last nights dinner was 800 rupees £8 (tip included). Good job I have lodgers.
