Conscripted to a Market Guide

Did you even go to India if you didn’t walk through a market? I went for what I thought would be a solo walk through these markets. After 1 photo a ‘guide’ jumped out of nowhere demanding he show me around. I didn’t really need or want a guide but I couldn’t loose the is guy as he stalked me around. After a few minutes of “I’m free, look at my pass, no money” I succumbed and he took to to his spice mates who wanted me to sniff every jar of curry powder they had. After the 5th jar I walked off - there’s only so much curry powder up the nose one can handle 😂.

The guide proceeded to explain to me the obvious as he ushered me through the market pointing as he described: “Animals. Fish. Vegetables. Nuts. You must see the fruit!”.

Turns out he was indeed free, or I just walked off anyway. Nice markets and I must admit the curries did all smell quite nice.Read more
