Shopping in Ahmedabad

You can find them along any side of the road in the city.

A few chips, cigarettes, Indian Tea, Something that locals call PAN, they chew it. It comes in those packages hanging on the wall. They have pan shops everywhere. We have never tried it.

The couple sitting on the left are smoking cigarettes. You can't buy your eggs at the bazaars.

You have to buy them from the chicken man. You can see Bob standing on the right with his hat on, buying us some eggs

There is a bread truck that parks next to the egg man, so we usually buy bread there. Most local Indians eat Roti and Nani, it is a flat round bread that they fry, it is REALLY good. You have to use your right hand and tear it off with one hand and eat with your right hand. It's a little tricky for me. I keep want to use my left.

Most of the people here, just milk the cows that walk by on the street.

There are also boys on bikes that bring milk to the apartment in the old milk cans and they go from apartment to apartment and sell their milk

We buy our milk at the bazaars. Milk is kept on the shelves. It is not refrigerated.

It is really hard to think of it as real milk.

Put it in the refrigerator and it takes really good.

You can also get your sewing done while you are shopping for your food. Vegetables are all on carts.

They travel around the city and come to the apartment on regular basis.

They are found along the streets and there is one spot that there is one whole block of 3 deep carts with the best looking vegetables that you can imagine. Herds of goats are along the edges eating things right off the carts.
