We have been looking for the wholesale clothing market for a week. No success. Finally, a girl at the cloth market told me where to go but as of yet, we did not have a chance to. Yesterday, we missed the shuttle to the fair and decided to take the metro instead. The hotel person who spoke little English pointed us into the direction of the metro. We thought we understood and ended up in an underground shopping area instead. Initially we thought it was just a couple of stores on our way to the metro. NOOOOO, it was a huge, two story, underground shopping center with no markings at all upstairs, you would have never known there was even anything down there. Just a stairwell going underground that looks like a nondescript metro entrance or road underpass.
They had the coolest stuff, but many stores kept wanting me to buy a hundred of each. All of a sudden I have an epiphany. Could we have found the clothing wholesale market? Indeed, we stumbled upon it effortless. How funny. Needless to say we never made it to the metro. In the 1.5 hrs we were there we bought so much stuff that we had to go back to the hotel to drop it off. Then we found an English speaker who pointed us to the metro, just a few feet away from the entrance to the market. What luck, we did not have good directions the first time!
Except I think, luck had nothing to do with it!
