We took the train to Little India which was a whole other world from where we had just been. In contrast to the highly air conditioned, high class shops, and sanitized conditions, we popped out of the train station and found ourselves at dusk surrounded by Indian men simply loitering about. The neighborhood was also really crowded. I definitely felt a tad uncomfortable when I noticed that the sea of people was comprised of men, men, and more men. Where were the Indian women? After acclimating to the crowds and surroundings, we did enjoy shopping at some of the local venues. Scott was able to get a belt resized just for him. We also found some fun and cheap souvenirs in this neighborhood. Interestingly, each clothing store had a person sitting outside behind a heavy old metal sewing machine to do alterations on the spot.
