Metro Station

The first day we arrived we just wandered around aimlessly, as we had no real plan and didn't want to do anything too fun until Miles arrived the next day. So basically we rode the subway until we found a station we liked the name of and got off. This one had quite a cool market just round the corner...and a Haagen-Dazs cafe (well, I did warn you food is the most important part of our holidays!!). The markets are really interesting, as they are really really narrow and packed with people. As you walk down, all the sellers try to get you to come into their area. At first it was quite nice hearing "hello miss", but after the 50th offer of a fake Rolex, it was getting a bit tedious. The only problem so far was it was 29oC and humid as anything, and the sewer systems seemed to not really cope with this and so released an interesting aroma into the streets.
