Hours can be spent sauntering about in the curio shops in the middle of the City. Most of the curto dealers speak a little English.

The temptation to buy and buy is irresistible, and on returning Home one is often filled with dismay at money squandered on the value- less and ordinary. Whereas, a few hours spent in study, while contem- plating the trip, and by familiaris- ing oneself, if only to small extent, with the treasures! that and crafte
