Decided to try cook, went to market, stepped over live chickens through a river of blood and looked at lambs with genitals still attached. Bought a chicken, had to remove parts of the chicken I never knew they had. Psyched myself up for 30 mins. Made a decent roast chicken. Not sure if I'll ever do it again.
Bought amazing linen, Indian ornament things, singing tibetan monk bowls, beautiful bag, crazy loud Indian dress, silk dressing gown, old Bollywood posters.
Marveled at how cheap everything is.
