Laine and I ducked in there to take a walk around. It was full of little stalls selling Bollywood DVDs and VCDs, Indian food, fake watches.

On the way out, passing through some dark, wet passage, a big cockroach scurried in front of Laine. She shrieked and jumped back while an African guy behind us chuckled and grinned.
