Compound Shopping

The compound store has all the essentials for those times when you can't make it out of the compound, or just can't bothered. It is run be some young Indian guys who will deliver anything you want if you ring and ask for it. Feel a bit guilty about getting them to ride here with a basket of whatever so for now we are happily walking to pick up anything we need.

Our first little journey was an experience of trying to work out what was what etc... so stuck to things we knew. Things are a little more expensive at the local store. We think they just buy things from other stores and resell them onto the compound residents; but everyone has to make a living here somehow. Bring on the "real" shopping I say!
