There one could find everything from shoes to jewelry, from food to electric equipment, such as cheap old TVs or ventilators. Inside the market there was a very bad smell so that we did not stay. The city seemed to be small but busy and many building were new. It looked like a third world country village with four and five star hotels. The infrastructure was still bad, but one could see development. We checked in at the Hotel de Paris, a small hotel owned by a friendly, old lady. Our rooms were OK, but we asked to be transferred to the newer part of the hotel. The stomach ache of my wife did not disappear. |
