GIP India, Day 35, Downtown Nashik.

We had a brief misunderstanding with the Auto Driver today and got the men of our neighbourhood coming to our rescue to translate and help us. So sweet of them to drop whatever they were doing and help us out... :)

Let's move on with life...

We headed to College Road a.k.a. Downtown Nashik to check out what's happening. With great enthusiasm, we proceeded on even though JY was sick. Hah! Well, let's just say that it was a bit disappointing in a way that it is nothing like the downtown we imagined. Its just a simple stretch of road with shophouses alongside. Something similar to Arab Street, but less the shops.

Ahmad was just about to catch his flu.

And here's cute Raj.

The highlight of the day was to be this place called Big Bazaar. One thing in India to take note; DO NOT BE MISLEAD BY NAMES. Big Bazaar was nothing close to big. I would say Big Bazaar should be name, Small Bazaar. lol.

Running out of Valentine's Day ideas? Declare your love on the roads! It reads, "I love U Shweta."

Not-so-Big Bazaar.

It was more or less something like Ferguson College road in Pune, but less crowded and less shops. But at least it has Subway, MacDonald's, Lee store and a hugeeee 3-storey Levi's store. Levi's canvas shoe going for SGD$45! I WANT! Levi's long-sleeved lumberjacks, I WANT! Gonna get a shoe from that shop before I leave Nashik! haha...
