Kim and Sal take on Chatuchak market

Kim: This place is monstrous. It's huge, smelly, hot, dirty, and crammed full of people. But there's so much to choose from. I could shop here all week.

Sal: I feel like one of those cows you see stuffed in the back of a truck on the way to the slaughter house. Now I understand when people say 'shop till you drop'.

Kim: Will you help me choose a gift for my sister? She loves this designer that only sells stuff in a shop here. I think it's in section 20.

Sal: I think you can handle that yourself. I'm going to cool off with an iced-tea. I'll also watch for pickpockets and let you know if I see any.

Kim: You're no help. I guess I'll have to conquer Chatuchak on my own.
