Yesterday there was a knock at our apartment door and a guy was selling yoga bloomers and t-shirts. He had a backpack of samples and said he had more at his house. Since the sizes he had white him were too small, we made an appointment to view more the next day.
Right on time he showed up at our flat, hailed an auto rickshaw that whisked the three of us away while he followed on his bike! At a corner near his house the rickshaw waited for him to catch up so he could lead the rickshaw to our final destination.
We walked up a flight of stairs and into his apartment where we met his wife. The two of them showed us many handmade products; purses, bags, shorts, skirts, t-shirts, wooden blocks, quarter rounds, straps, blankets. Just when we thought we had seen it all he would produce something else. Handmade paper, stationary, bed sheet, perhaps?
We all bought something and it was totally fun. When we left it was raining and our host hailed a rickshaw for us that took us back to our flat. I admire his business sense, fun light hearted spirit and customer service.
