Near the market, this local guy had a small shop on a side street. When I walked in I realized it wasn't his shop rather it was his house, which is quite common. Many people sell small gadgets and miscellaneous items right from their home.
He sat there on his lazy boy chair(not quite Lazy boy) with a grumpy face and big glasses. His TV was absolutely adorable with antennas and some fuzz in the screen. After a few minutes and clearly his favorite part, he finally stood up and acknowledged my presence. I told him I was looking for contact lenses and he points to the case in front of me.
I said,"Oh, but it looks like there is not a match."
He says, " Well I got one -4 and one -2. That's about the same thing."
I look at him and give him an ingenuine smile,"Oh I see." This is quite a small selection."
He says, "Yes dear we focus more in glasses."
He said that I can come back next week and he might have a few more pairs-how cute.
Of course this man is just trying to make a living and I appreciate that totally. I just found it interesting that he had these few pairs of contacts and glasses with a prescription. They just do things so differently and it's so easy to purchase contacts and glasses without a prescription. It's interesting to observe their culture with their businesses.
