Tina's craze

A few days away before Tina and Chandni had to board another plane heading west towards Africa.
In the morning they discussed about their schedule. They had to make a good decision about where to go. Chandni thought perhaps going to a bazaar or market instead of a mall would be much better, because there  they would surely find cheaper beautiful things. Some bazaar may look like a hypermarket. Tina had quite good sightseeing. It was good that it wasn't raining that day, otherwise one could imagine how inconvenient it would be walking under heavy rain on wet, slippery muddy streets, moreover as it was the season of monsoon.

As they walked down the street, Tina noticed a stall with colorful materials and she asked Chandni whether they were sarees, and Chandni said they were. Tina became excited, she exclaimed how beautiful they look, and pulled Chandni's hand to the stall. Then Tina started asking for their price and bargained with Chandni as her interpreter. Chandni out of curiosity asked Tina whether Indonesians wear sarees, smiling Tina said that Indonesians transform sarees materials into what they call "kain sarung" and "kain panjang" and Tina said she would explain what those were later on. With bright expression, from time to time lifting up her eye-brows looking as Chandni who watched her with half opened mouth, Chandni could see the twinkling in Tina's eyes, and Tina reminded Chandni  that she was a dressmaker. Beautiful materials boosted her adrenaline all the time.

In the end came to the end of the shopping.  The hands of both girls were loaded with bags.
