Translation of publicist in Spanish

There were a lot of souvenir shops inside the palace which spoiled the atmosphere a little bit. Monkeys were also sitting around and begging for food. We took some close-up images of them.
So was the food. We ate French fries and a steak. We found that bizarre. After dinner we bought some books about the area and about South East Asia in general. They we second hand books.
Hi George, I speak a little bit of English but not very well. Can you correct my mistakes if I have any? I will help you with German. Writing is important, it helps to focus. Thank you for your answer.
